Fans might be used to seeing Harry Styles cool, calm and collected, but the pop superstar is not himself in new promos for this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live, released Thursday night (March 12).
Ahead of his latest stint as host and musical guest this Saturday, Styles — wearing a cheeky yellow T-shirt featuring two strategically placed cinnamon rolls — is joined by SNL castmembers Jane Wickline and Chloe Fineman for the new promos.
“I’m sorry if I seem a bit off,” Styles says in the teaser. “I’m pretty nervous standing next to Jane.”
“Harry, you promised you wouldn’t catch feelings,” Wickline responds.
Fineman asks in disbelief: “I’m sorry, is there something going on between you two?”
“There always has been,” Styles confirms. “The original title of my album Fine Line was Fine Wickline.”
“Harry, I’m at work,” Wickline scolds, to which Styles sheepishly apologizes. “And I’m here too!” Fineman chimes in as the promos’ third wheel.
Elsewhere in the promos, Styles shares his dream about spider frogs raining down on him and telling him he’s “pretty,” Wickline says she’ll actually be performing since she’s standing in the space typically reserved for that week’s musical guest, and Fineman tells Styles he needs a “chill pill” for doing too much. “I’ve never liked him,” Wickline admits after Styles leaves the stage.
Styles is promoting his fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which arrived last Friday, led by the first two singles “Aperture” and “American Girls.” This weekend marks Styles’ second time doing double duty as host and musical guest, and he’s appeared as just the performer on four occasions: three times with One Direction and once solo in 2017.
Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams on Peacock. (See all the options to watch SNL here.)
