‘I Don’t Think You Understand How Initials Work’: Dakota Johnson Asked If She’s Related to Derek Jeter or Davy Jones in ‘SNL’ Promos
The actress is hosting for a third time, alongside musical guest Turnstile.
Dakota Johnson is set to return to Saturday Night Live (SNL) for her third hosting gig this weekend, in promotion of Turnstile's musical set. The promotional teaser for the episode suggests that Johnson's interaction with cast member Ashley Padilla takes a bizarre turn as they discuss their initials. Padilla, who has never watched SNL due to her mother's belief that the show is "too horny," begins to ponder whether Dakota Johnson is related to various celebrities whose initials start with "DJ".
Johnson firmly asserts that she does not understand how initials function, before Padilla brings up Davy Jones. Johnson playfully responds that she knew who Padilla was referring to. The teaser ends with Johnson jokingly challenging Padilla to a contest, comparing them to twins and questioning Padilla about her skills in skinning goats with her bare hands.
This is Johnson's third appearance on SNL, following her hosting appearance in 2015 and 2020, as she promotes her film Verity, based on Colleen Hoover's novel. She also co-starred in Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" music video, which was premiered during the MTV Video Music Awards. Turnstile will make their SNL debut on the episode, airing on NBC and streaming live on Peacock at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT.
