Comedian Druski Makes History as First Digital Creator to Host SNL
Comedian Druski made history as the first digital creator to host Saturday Night Live, bringing his viral internet humor and record-breaking style to the iconic stage.
Internet personality and comedian Drew Desbordes, widely known as Druski, made history over the weekend by hosting Saturday Night Live, becoming the first-ever digital creator to host the iconic American television show. Rose to fame through viral sketches featuring exaggerated satirical characters, Druski has accumulated millions of followers and collaborated with major entertainment figures including Drake and Jack Harlow.
Druski recently broke another major record by hosting the BET Awards at age 31, surpassing comedian Kevin Hart to become the youngest host in the show's history. Bringing his distinct online style to the SNL stage, he featured sketches inspired by viral internet phenomena, including a parody of the documentary You Can See Everything and a comedic take on a viral video about a birthday spotlight dispute.
During his opening monologue, Druski maintained his trademark provocative humor, joking with the live audience that he could not guarantee he would avoid swearing or impressions of white women, which he quipped made up half of his performance. His historic appearance marks a significant milestone in bridging digital content creation with traditional television comedy.
