Bad Bunny opened Season 51 of “Saturday Night Live” with a bilingual monologue, highlighting his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show and addressing the conservative backlash to his casting.
“I’m very happy,” he said of the gig. “And I think everyone is happy about it. Even Fox News.”“SNL” then aired a satirical supercut of Fox News clips, where the network had criticized the NFL for choosing a Spanish-language artist, focusing on Bad Bunny’s comments about avoiding U.S. tour stops due to ICE-related concerns for his fans.
The edited clips humorously rearranged anchors’ words to say: “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.”

Switching to Spanish, Bad Bunny expressed gratitude to those excited for his Super Bowl performance, particularly Latinos and Latinas in the U.S. who’ve paved the way. “It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us,” he said. “Our footprints and contributions in this country can never be erased.”
Back in English, he quipped: “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.”
