“Mandalorian,” “Last of Us” Star Pedro Pascal Rides Current Wave to Host “SNL” Next Month with Coldplay as Musical Guest

Share

Pedro Pascal is on a roll. He’s starring in two hot hot hot series, “The Mandalorian” and “The Last of Us.” You can’t do better.

Now Pascal will host “Saturday Night Live” for the first time, on February 4th. Coldplay is the musical guest, which suggests they may be dropping a new single.

The show can get a lot out of Pascal with parodies of both his shows. Should be fun!

“SNL” is also on a roll these days. Last Saturday’s episode scored a high 4.8 million viewers. The season had a slow start but it picked up right before Christmas break. Lorne Michaels stuffed the show with guest stars last week like Amy Poehler and Sharon Stone. We’ll see what he’s got up his sleeve coming up.
