AceShowbiz - Gal Gadot made her debut as a host on "Saturday Night Live" during the second episode of the new season over the weekend. The Israeli actress reprised her role as Wonder Woman and had a girl-on-girl kiss in one sketch and she poked fun at the Kardashian/Jenner family in another.
In a parody of "Wonder Woman", Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant played two lesbians who were stranded on Themyscira, the fictional island inhabitated only by women in DC comic books. They looked excited when running into the Amazon warriors but quickly became crestfallen when all the beautiful natives were heterosexual.
"It's like we're in a porn but the plumber is genuinely there to fix the pipes," Bryant quipped. Gadot tried to comfort them and said, "Maybe I should try and kiss one of you and see if I feel something." Bryant wanted no part of it because she's afraid she would get "too emotionally involved." Meanwhile, McKinnon half-heartedly agreed only after she told Gadot that they were "not guinea pigs" for her to "experiment on."
In a spoof of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", Gal Gadot channeled her inner Kendall Jenner as she took a selfie, fiddled with her phone, and whined about being "under a lot of pressure" before getting confused about which Kardashian she was. In the "KUWTK" faux spin-off called "Kendall's Model House", she also played Gigi Hadid. She was joined by McKinnon as Bella Hadid.
Earlier on the NBC sketch show, Gal Gadot spoke Hebrew during her monologue. The first-time host sent message to her family and friends back home since the comedy show would be aired live in her home country for the very first time.
"I just wanted to let you know that this might be a big mistake: The writers here clearly know nothing about Israel. In every sketch they have me eating hummus. I mean, I like hummus, but come on," she said in her native language with English subtitle on the screen. She continued, "They're nice, but they're not very sophisticated: I think they believe that I'm the actual Wonder Woman. So good luck to me. I'm hoping for the best."
The brunette beauty was also joined by Leslie Jones who dressed up as the "Times Square Wonder Woman." Although Jones' Wonder Woman didn't have "bracelets to stop bullets" or an invisible jet, she got her own special armlet, a "sticker that makes [her] car invisible to meter maids" and, last but not least, vodka to make up for Lasso of Truth.
