Gal Gadot is crashing into Saturday Night Live just like Diana Prince crashed into the world of man

Saturday Night Live is getting the Wonder Woman treatment this week with Gal Gadot as host. But is that all it is going to be?

Gal Gadot is ready to take on Saturday Night Live and honestly, we’re ready to see it! The Wonder Woman star came crashing onto the studio 8H set. Quite literally. In a promo for this week’s episode, Mikey Day and Leslie Jones are excitedly waiting for Gal to come when she breaks through the back wall just like the Diana Prince we know and love.

So what does this mean for the episode this week? Well, I hope it doesn’t mean countless Wonder Woman sketches. Because while Gal is there to help promote Justice League, every sketch doesn’t have to be based on the movie she is in. How do we know that? Neither Ryan Gosling nor her Wonder Woman co-star Chris Pine’s episodes were that way. Both episodes were more like the basic Saturday Night Live format without targeting their movies specifically.

It made for great episodes, and it’s something that I truly hope happens with Gal’s. It’d be nice if they got their Wonder Woman jokes out in the monologue (much like with Chris Pine’s Chris-inspired monologue) and then proceed on with the show.

We’ll have to wait and see if that happens (chances are we’ll have a lot of jokes about Diana Prince rather than using Gal Gadot for the better part of sketches) but who knows. These last few seasons have been truly surprising in their treatment of their celebrity hosts so they might just shock us yet.
