\n\tTeyana Taylor<\/a> is hosting Saturday Night Live<\/em> for the first time ever in 2026, and to get fans hyped up, she threw it back to a movie made more than 30 years ago just to show off her impeccable Angela Bassett impression.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a promo clip posted Wednesday (Jan. 21), the One Battle After Another <\/em>star is hanging out with cast member Ashley Padilla, who complains that she keeps hurting herself while attempting Taylor\u2019s iconic dance in Ye\u2019s 2016 \u201cFade\u201d music video. \u201cWhy you humping the floor so hard?\u201d the actress hilariously asks the comedian.<\/p>\n

\n\tPadilla then learns via text that her SNL <\/em>bestie, fellow cast member Andrew Dismukes ate the chicken parm she\u2019d been saving in the cast fridge. \u201cYour so-called \u2018best friend\u2019 ate your perfect bite?\u201d Taylor asks before going full Bassett mode. \u201cHe gonna regret eating that parm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clip then cuts to the Golden Globe winner wearing a nightgown and robe to recreate Bassett\u2019s iconic scene<\/a> in 1995\u2019s Waiting to Exhale<\/em>. Set to dramatic music, Taylor starts tearing Dismukes\u2019 office apart, throws his belongings in a cart and setting them on fire.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis mother sucker\u2019s psychotic,\u201d she cries, nailing Bassett\u2019s delivery in the original film. \u201cBernadine, you don\u2019t deserve this!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTaylor will host SNL <\/em>on Saturday (Jan. 24), with Geese serving as musical guest. It comes one week after the series returned to air for the first time in 2026 with a Finn Wolfhard-led episode, on which A$AP Rocky performed.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch Taylor channel Bassett\u2019s Waiting to Exhale <\/em>character ahead of this weekend\u2019s SNL <\/em>below.<\/p>\n
