Not too long ago, Rachel Brosnahan’s portrayal of Mrs. Maisel was impersonated by Cecily Strong, and there’s a chance we might see the two together on the same stage. After all, Rachel Brosnahan couldn’t have been more thrilled about being the target of mockery on the iconic NBC series:
Next week, Saturday Night Live will bring another first-time to Studio 8H with James McAvoy taking over hosting duties on January 26, just in time to promote the release of Glass the week before (you can read our review right here).
McAvoy has played plenty of characters thanks to his multiple personality character in Split, but his comedy experience has been less prominent. While he’s made animated family comedies like Gnomeo & Juliet, Sherlock Gnomes and Arthur Christmas, his work in straight-up live-action comedies has been few and far between. Thankfully McAvoy is quite the eclectic actor and should be able to have some fun over at Saturday Night Live. We might even get an X-Men sketch if we’re lucky.
He’ll be joined by musical guest Meek Mill, also making his debut on SNL.
