Is Dakota Johnson trying to become the next Miley Cyrus of Saturday Night Live?
The 34-year-old actress is set to host SNL for the third time tonight, joining an exclusive club that includes the likes of Gal Gadot and Melissa McCarthy. Sources say she’s been spotted around 30 Rock multiple times this week, reportedly rehearsing sketches and allegedly demanding the entire cast learn Spanish just for her monologue. Okay, maybe we made that last part up, but honestly, wouldn’t that be iconic?
Fans are already losing their minds on social media, with one Twitter user writing, ‘Dakota Johnson hosting SNL again? She better bring back that Fifty Shades energy!’ While others are questioning why she keeps getting invited back when she openly admitted she hates doing press tours. Make up your mind, Dakota!
But let’s be real – Johnson’s previous SNL appearances were actually pretty solid. Her impression of herself in that viral sketch about celebrity fragrances was comedy gold. Plus, she’s been killing it in the indie film scene lately, so maybe she’s finally ready to show America her full range beyond being the girl who dated that Jonas brother for three minutes.
What do you think? A) She’s overrated as a host B) She deserves her own SNL spin-off
