Social media influencer and comedian Druski brought a slew of special guests with him during his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on November 7, including Emma Stone. Of course, I welcome any opportunity to see Emma Stone on my screen, but… why exactly did she make a cameo in Druski’s SNL monologue? To promote their upcoming movie, The Catch.
“I am living proof you can bet on yourself and make your dreams come true. I just finished filming my first ever movie with Emma Stone, and she is here right now,” Druski said. “I’m actually playing her love interest in the new movie that we just did.”
“I think you might have misread that in those scenes, because we weren’t love interests in the film,” Stone replied. “But now it is actually starting to make more sense why you kept looking at me like that for all those scenes.”
“That’s probably why we ain’t kiss either,” he said, and Stone immediately replied, “Yeah.”
Druski also said he loved Stone in Bugonia. When she said, “Really?” he joked, “No, I just wanted to be the first Black guy to say it.”
Stone and Druski will be co-starring in the upcoming baseball rom-com The Catch, directed by Stone’s husband, Dave McCary. Deadline reports that Stone plays “the most hated woman in baseball,” and Druski plays her security guard. Saturday Night Live cast member Ashley Padilla is set to play Stone’s sister in the film.
Stone, who is a five-time SNL host herself (last hosting the show in 2023), did not appear in any of the night’s sketches. She did join Druski to sign off at the end of the night, standing on stage with Michael B. Jordan, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Austin Butler, Walton Goggins, Texas Senator-elect James Talarico, and the night’s musical guest, the Strokes.
