Jacob Elordi appears in hilarious skit worrying about making an entrance in first teaser for SNL appearance… after raves for Saltburn

Jacob Elordi is the man of the moment this winter thanks to his breakthrough performances in both films Priscilla and Saltburn.

But in a first teaser for his upcoming Saturday Night Live hosting gig this weekend, the Australian actor starred in a sketch in which he looked anything but confident.

The handsome 26-year-old star looked incredibly nervous as he took to the stage for the popular variety sketch show.

He is seen standing atop the short flight of stairs he must descend before he can deliver his monologue.

Two of the SNL regulars – Punkie Johnson and Marcello Hernández – are there to help him walk down the stairs, but he can't seem to do it and instead acts like a scared child.

Flashback clips are shown of stars like Kim Kardashian walking down the stairs with ease. “They make it all look so easy,” says Elordi.

Then you see Jacob hilariously descending the stairs in different ways, including on his bottom like a toddler.

The clip starts with Jacob in a black hoodie and pants staring at the stairs.

“Okay, okay, okay,” you hear him say as he tries to warm himself up for the walk down the three metal steps with handrails on the sides.

“Are you watching this?” a male comedian asks his female co-star. She nods.

'Are you joking? You have this brother,” the man tells Jacob as the actor tries to look pumped up by pushing up the sleeves of his hoodie.

“Let's go, it's just a step, okay,” she says.

Then he slides down the stairs with a scared look on his face as the other man says, “Okay, that's something.”

Jacob is then shown how to walk down the stairs. But instead of walking, he goes down the stairs stomach first.

Punkie tried to encourage the Photo Booth hunk. “Let's go Jake, it's all you.”

Then he lies down on his bottom like a child: “Come on, come on, you're almost there,” says the woman. “That's an approach,” she adds.

The comedians tried to cheer on the Photo Booth hunk.

“Let's go Jake,” one says, while the other adds, “It's all you.”

But when Jacob finally comes out to walk down the stairs after all that coaching, he trips and falls flat on his face down the stairs. It looks like it hurts.

His coaches look nervous.

“Should we help him?” she says. “Go ahead,” says the man.

“I'm fine,” Elordi says as he groans.

This is the first SNL episode of 2024 and it will appear with musical guest Renee Rapp who stars in the new Mean Girls musical film.

Elordi first rose to fame playing Nate Jacobs in the series Euphoria, and also starred in the Kissing Booth trilogy with Joey King.
