Running away from Ghostface isn’t the only activity to keep. Jenna Ortega busy in New York since the actress hosted yesterday’s episode Saturday night life. After advertising last week in a series of sketches related to Wednesday, Ortega was ready to take the stage and make sure all the audience had a good time. As the youngest host this season of the cult TV show, Ortega took the opportunity to make the most of her opening monologue, in which she recalled her first on-screen appearance.

When she was still a child actor, Ortega appeared in a toothpaste commercial where she promoted the use of the product so that children could get rid of the “invisible muck” in their mouths. scream The actress adorably remarked that she still has the character of that young girl who talks about toothpaste, praising the magic of cinema for appearing scary. To prove his point, Ortega again showed the toothpaste commercial, but this time it was edited to look like a horror movie, making the “invisible bastards” a much more visible threat.

The actress briefly introduced herself Wednesday-star, Fred Armisenwarmly received by the public thanks to his long career in the Saturday night life. The pair of performers were featured in a comedy sketch later in the episode, where they added a twist to the 1998 remake. Parent trap. Ortega is supposed to star in the film’s production, but when the director can’t find a suitable replacement for the day’s work, he asks Raymond (Armisen) to read lines with the actress. Needless to say, things get out of hand pretty soon when Raymond doesn’t follow the script.
