00:05 Jacob Elordi is preparing for his Saturday Night Live hosting debut. The NBC sketch show released
00:11 the first promo Wednesday for this weekend's episode, which Elordi will lead alongside
00:16 musical guest Renee Rapp. In the footage, the actor is seen at the top of the stage in Studio
00:20 8H as he attempts to descend the stairs that hosts typically strut down on their way to
00:24 performing the opening monologue. "They all make it look so easy." "Ladies and gentlemen, Jericho."
00:31 "He looking at the stairs?" Luckily, two SNL cast members are there to help him through his struggle.
00:39 "Are you kidding me? You got this, bro." "Let's go." "Come on." "It's just a step." "Okay." "That's,
00:43 hey, that's something. Like that, and then after that, this one." "Jacob, we're gonna go down these
00:48 steps." "Yes, Jacob." "Jacob, oh." Ultimately, he gets down the steps, just not in the way he might
00:53 have been hoping. Elordi had a busy past year, playing Elvis in Priscilla and starring as Felix
01:02 in Saltburn. "You all right?" "Yeah, I've got a flat tire." "Take my bike." "Hey, that was so kind."
01:08 "Thank you. I'm sorry I don't know your name. I'm, I'm Felix." "Oliver." "Oliver. Oliver, I love you."
01:13 One scene in particular, where Barry Keoghan's character Oliver drinks Felix's bathwater,
01:18 has captivated the internet, with people on Etsy even selling scented candles inspired by the
01:22 moment. When asked about the candles at the Golden Globes, Keoghan said this. "It's lovely.
01:27 Smells good." "What would you guess it maybe smells like?" "It smells like Jacob. Weirdly.
01:35 Nah, it smells good." For more on this story, go to THR.com. This is The Hollywood Reporter News.
