Red alert my fellow queer folks! This is not a drill! This week's episode of long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live is probably going to be one of the hottest in recent memory! Why, you ask? Because the host/musical guest pairing is none other than Bridgerton star (and America's newest heartthrob) Regé-Jean Page and gender-bending, Latin Grammy-winning rapper, LGBTQ+ ally, and thirst-trap king Bad Bunny!

In a new promo video for their upcoming SNL episode, the two (socially responsible, face-masked) kings try out new nicknames at the behest of cast member Melissa Villaseñor.
"I think I'm gonna go by Bad Melissa now!" she tells Regé-Jean and Bad Bunny.
"Cool, I'm gonna go by Regé-Jean Bunny," he responds, before asking the "Yo Perreo Sola" singer what his new nickname would be. "What about you?"
"Bad Bunny is already cool, so I’m gonna keep it," he cooly and simply.
This may just be me watching through an extremely thirsty, extremely h-word lens, but the tension is palpable, and "Regé-Jean Bunny" sounds like cute ship for the two stars, so I'm just gonna roll with it!
Regé-Jean Page and Bad Bunny's fire episode of Saturday Night Live airs this Saturday, February 20 at 8:30pm PT/11:30pm ET!
