Actor Walton Goggins playfully debunks fervent conjectures regarding "The White Lotus," in anticipation of his upcoming "Saturday Night Live" hosting stint.
Walton Goggins is Shaking Up "Saturday Night Live" before his hosting debut!
In a cheeky theory session on a new promo for SNL, Goggins, fresh off his stint on "The White Lotus", teams up with cast member Marcello Hernandez to speculate about who's going to meet their demise on this season of SNL. (Fun Fact: Both HBO and CNN are part of Warner Bros. Discovery.)
Goggins opts for a dramatic fan theory, pointing a finger at Colin Jost and Michael Che, predicting a murder-suicide! Hernandez, not convinced, intervenes, reminding Goggins that these aren't characters that are going to bite the dust.
Refusing to back down, Goggins keeps the speculation rolling, sending his theory hats off to Heidi Gardner, Chloe Fineman, and finally landing on Bowen Yang, jokingly suggesting that Yang hates Hernandez, making him the prime suspect.
Just when things get a little too real, cast member Michael Longfellow enters the scene exploding into a hilarious jump scare, pretending to stab Hernandez, seizing the moment as the killer. Longfellow remarks, "I should have been Domingo," referencing Hernandez's recurring, viral character.
The "Righteous Gemstones" star's energy soars as he raves, "Wow, I did not see that coming! It's prestige television!"
Goggins, set to make his SNL hosting debut this weekend with Arcade Fire as musical guest, graced the screens of The White Lotus in its latest season, which came to a dramatic climax in April. The Mike White-created series is a witty social satire that follows various groups on vacation at luxury resorts worldwide, with each season featuring a cast member's death teased in the opening episode and revealed in the finale.
If you're eager to catch Goggins in action, mark your calendars! Tune in to NBC on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT for this unmissable episode!
