Saturday Night Live Welcomes Ayo Edebiri, Jennifer Lopez to Studio 8H

NBC's Saturday Night Live rolled out the video red carpet for this weekend's host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) and musical guest Jennifer Lopez.

After an unexpectedly newsworthy Monday, we're back on track with a new episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 on the way this weekend. Ahead of what we're expecting will be the last live show before a break (unless SNL is working Super Bowl weekend), we have host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) & musical guest Jennifer Lopez taking to the stages of Studio 8H. Of course, that means it's time for Edebiri & Lopez to receive their official "red carpet" welcome video – which you can check out above.
