SNL: "Double Trouble" Dua Lipa, Freestylin' Mikey Day & More (VIDEO)

Check out the following promo for this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, with host/musical guest Dua Lipa & SNL star Mikey Day.

Earlier today, we learned that NBC's Saturday Night Live would be wrapping up Season 49 with two more episodes after this upcoming weekend. On May 11th, SNL icon & comedy genius Maya Rudolph (Apple TV+'s Loot) is hosting – joined by musical guest Vampire Weekend. On the May 18th season finale, Jake Gyllenhaal (Prime Video's Road House) is set to host, joined by musical guest Sabrina Carpenter. But this week, our focus is on this weekend's host & musical guest, Dua Lipa – and if it's Thursday, then it must be time for the on-stage promos. Joined by SNL star Mikey Day, the first promo finds Day more than willing to "spit some lines" if she needs any musical assistance this weekend – though we're not sure Dua Lipa's too interested. Following that, Day shows off his excitement over Dua Lips being "double trouble" this weekend – and shows off his need to dial back on his caffeine intake.
