Above, please find the teasers for this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by James Franco and featuring musical guest Nicki Minaj. The teasers are pretty good, actually, thanks in no small part to teaming up Franco and Cecily Strong and letting them run wild a little bit. My favorite part is that Franco exudes infinitely more charisma in each individual 30 second clip than he did in his entire performance hosting the Oscars a few years ago. I bet Anne Hathaway saw this video and just screamed her lungs raw.
Anyway, the teasers feature both (a) a special guest appearance, and (b) a Christmas miracle that sees Franco get his one holiday wish granted. I won’t spoil either for you, other than to say this regarding the latter: same.
