Amy Poehler and Bowen Yang Call Out Role Model for Diva Behavior in SNL Promos Anticipate a Challenging Week Ahead

Amy Poehler and Bowen Yang recently addressed the singer-songwriter Role Model in promotional clips for this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL). In these clips, they humorously take jabs at Role Model’s self-identification, referring to his “diva behavior.” Poehler, a former SNL cast member, is set to host the show this Saturday, marking her third time in this role.

Promotional Clips Highlighting Diva Behavior Accusation

In the promotional video, Poehler introduces herself, stating, “Hi, I’m Amy Poehler and I’ll be hosting SNL this week with Role Model.” Bowen Yang, a current cast member, quickly mirrors her introduction. However, when Role Model attempts to introduce himself, he hesitates, suggesting the cue card may be incorrect. Poehler responds sternly, “Role Model, that kind of diva behavior doesn’t fly around here,” before Yang expresses his resignation, hinting at a challenging week ahead.

Role Model’s SNL Debut

Role Model’s real name is Tucker Pillsbury.
This marks his debut on SNL.
Poehler has a rich history with the show, having been a cast member from 2001 to 2008.
She previously co-hosted the show with Tina Fey in 2015.

Alongside the diva behavior joke, Poehler interacts with Yang by serving him court papers, declaring, “You know what you did!” This playful banter adds to the excitement around the upcoming episode.

Role Model’s Rising Fame

Role Model has gained significant popularity this year, especially with his hit single, “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,” which recently topped the Adult Alternative Airplay chart, marking his first Billboard No. 1. Earlier this year, during his debut on The Tonight Show, Yang made a brief appearance as “Sally,” a role he shares with notable celebrities like Natalie Portman and Olivia Rodrigo at various events.

Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and is also available for streaming on Peacock. Catch the new promos online for a sneak peek into the anticipated episode.
