Ayo Edebiri debuted as a presenter Saturday night live with a nod to his early years as an aspiring SNL writer, and later admitted past accusations toward Jennifer Lopez, the show’s musical guest that night.
“Before all this, I was a comedian in New York City, writing jokes and doing open mics… but I really always wanted to do this show. I once wrote a package, but I never had the courage to send it,” she said, before reading some parts of it.
“You know that sketch called Black Jeopardy? “Well, I wanted to do a sketch called White Jeopardy, which didn’t work out because it was just white people playing Jeopardy,” he joked. Edebiri then revealed a catchphrase she had created for almost anyone, versatile enough even for the Queen of England: “Get on, don’t.”
But in the end the package didn’t seem to pass the test. “Yeah, I think we’re done with this,” she said, handing it over. “So bad.”
Bear actress, who spoke with Rolling Stone Last summer he talked about the role and then described culinary preparations for the show.
“Before filming the first season, we all had to work in real restaurants to really capture that energy of the kitchen,” he recalled. “When people saw my co-star, Jeremy Allen White, working in the restaurant, they said, ‘Oh, that’s Jeremy Allen White, he must be preparing for a role.’ So method!’ And when they saw me, they said: ‘How long until my tilapia?’”
Edebiri, whose father is Nigerian and mother is from Barbados, also joked about his upbringing.
“I was born and raised in Boston, making me the first black woman to admit it. Yes, three days into February and I am already making black history.”
While Edebiri’s idea for White Jeopardy never came to fruition, later that night she played a contestant on a game show called Why Did You Say That?, where players explain their questionable Instagram comments.
At one point, Edebiri alluded to comments she had done In a 2020 podcast that criticized Jennifer Lopez, SNLThe musical guest. Edebiri had suggested that López was using ghost singers.
“We get it. It’s wrong to leave nasty comments or post comments just for influence, or to speak badly on a podcast and not consider the impact because you’re 24 years old and stupid,” Edebiri said Saturday, “but I think I speak for everyone when I say that from now on we are going to be much more thoughtful about what we post online.”
