Julia Louis-Dreyfus returns to her old stomping ground this weekend as the host of "Saturday Night Live." The episode will also feature musical guest Nick Jonas, something that Louis-Dreyfus seemed to be very excited about.
The late night comedy show released a set of promotional videos for the upcoming episode featuring Louis-Dreyfus, Jonas and "Saturday Night Live" castmember Aidy Bryant. In the promos, the two comedians pretended to fight over the 23-year-old singer, while flirting with him the entire time.
Julia, don't even try to talk to Nick. He already said he loves me and I'm his wife, so..." Bryant told Louis-Dreyfus.
"I just said hi," Jonas told Bryan.
"OK, well it was very real to me! Damn!" Bryant replied.
The Saturday, April 16 episode of "Saturday Night Live" will mark the third time that Louis-Dreyfus has hosted the show. When she was only 21 years old, she was cast on the show in 1982 where she met the future creator and writer of "Seinfeld," Larry David, who worked as a writer on the show.
In another promo for the forthcoming episode, Louis-Dreyfus riffed on her age and her time at the show in the early '80s.
"You know Nick I was a castmember back here in 1982," Louis-Dreyfus told Jonas.
"82, wow, so you're old enough to be my-," but before the singer could say "mom," Louis-Dreyfus cut him off and injected, "biggest fan!"
"That's what I was going to say," Jonas responded.
Earlier this week, Louis-Dreyfus opened up about her experience working at "Saturday Night Live" all those years ago and how, at the time, it was a "sexist environment."
"I did not come out of 'SNL' as any kind of name. I didn't do anything particularly great when I was there," she explained. "But I learned a tremendous amount. It was a very sexist environment. Since I've gone back, I can tell you it's much more of an equal-opportunity environment."
While the actress went on to have a very successful career after "Saturday Night Live," she said that she also took her experience there as a learning experience.
"I was on ['SNL'] for three years, and when I left, I made this conscious decision that I would not take any jobs that didn't seem as if they would be really fun," she continued. "That's very simplistic and Pollyannaish sounding, but really, I noted that. I'm not doing this unless I can have a deep sense of happiness while doing it. I've applied that, moving forward, and it's worked. So in that sense, I have 'SNL' to thank."
