Cast members in the promo: Kam Patterson, Veronika Slowikowska
It’s Colman Domingo’s first time hosting SNL, but the show didn’t send the A-team to pitch him sketches for his promo. Instead, the Euphoria star was bombarded by rookies Veronika Slowikowska and Kam Patterson.
I’m sure Slowikowska will come up with some better pitches between now and Saturday. And Patterson? Well, it’s nice that he got some airtime during this promo.
