About this episode
**Bad Bunny Lights Up Saturday Night Live Season Finale**

Bad Bunny made a memorable appearance as the musical guest on the season finale of Saturday Night Live's 50th season. The Puerto Rican superstar electrified the audience with performances of his hits “Nuevayol” and “Perfumito Nuevo,” bringing his distinctive reggaeton flair to the famed stage.

In a memorable collaboration, Bad Bunny shared the spotlight with fellow artist RaiNao, adding an extra layer of energy to the night's performances. His musical talents were not the only highlight, as Bad Bunny showcased his comedic chops in multiple sketches throughout the episode, demonstrating versatility beyond his music.

The evening's host, Scarlett Johansson, featured alongside Bad Bunny in a variety of sketches. One standout was the "First Class" sketch, led by Johansson and featuring the comedic group Please Don’t Destroy, in which Bad Bunny was part of a fictional rap battle during a plane ride to Newark. The chaotic and humorous scene underscored the highlight reel of the night.

In another sketch titled "Couple at the Bar," Bad Bunny entertained audiences with witty banter alongside cast member Marcello Hernández. The sketch, conducted partly in Spanish, played to Bad Bunny's strengths of bridging language barriers with humor and charm.

Bad Bunny's on-screen presence extended further when he humorously intervened in defense of Scarlett Johansson's character in a different SNL skit. His ability to blend seamlessly into the comedic fabric of the show was well-received, earning praise for his apt comedic timing and charisma.

Overall, Bad Bunny's participation in the Saturday Night Live season finale was a testament to his multidimensional talents, marking a successful crossover into American television comedy while reinforcing his status as a global music icon. His performances and sketches left audiences eagerly anticipating his next ventures, both in music and beyond.
