Bad Bunny Mocks Fox News in Bilingual SNL Monologue, Celebrates Latinos' Impact

On October 3rd, 2025, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny opened the 51st season of "Saturday Night Live" with a bilingual monologue that touched on his upcoming gig as the Super Bowl halftime show headliner and the conservative media's criticism of the NFL's decision.

Bad Bunny expressed his excitement about the opportunity, joking that "even Fox News" is happy about it. SNL then played a supercut of clips from the right-wing news channel, which has criticized the league for booking a Spanish-language artist. However, the show cleverly edited the conservative anchors' comments to make them collectively say, "Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president."

In a heartfelt moment, Bad Bunny delivered remarks in Spanish, thanking the Latinos and Latinas who have worked to open doors in the US. He described the Super Bowl performance as "more than a win" for himself, but a victory for the entire community. Switching back to English, the artist cheekily told the audience, "If you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."

The monologue also featured a cameo from "SNL" favorite Jon Hamm, whom Bad Bunny introduced as "Juan Jamón." The segment showcased the artist's charisma and his ability to navigate both English and Spanish seamlessly, while also taking a jab at the conservative backlash to his high-profile gig.
