Marcello Hernández tried to inject the comedy rule of three into this week’s Thursday SNL promo, as he was joined by Ramy Youssef and Travis Scott.
“A Latino guy, an Egyptian guy and a Black guy walk into a bar…” Hernandez started. He was immediately shut down by Youssef and a somber Scott.
Hernandez acknowledged that the punchline was bad. “The set-up was, too,” said Youssef in a quick comeback.
The opening bit of the promo saw Hernandez try to say that Scott’s appearance is going to be in “Sicko Mode,” a shout-out to the artist’s hit.
“I told you not to do that in front of him,” Youssef said, as a downcast Scott simply shook his head.
