‘Saturday Night Live’ Rising Star Marcello Hernández Is Using His Charisma (and Support From His Mama) to Conquer Comedy: ‘I Love Everybody’


'SNL' star Marcello Hernández opens up about his rise on Lorne Michaels' NBC show and working with Pedro Pascal, Timothée Chalamet and Dave Chappelle.

Hernández was booked to open for Jo Koy at Madison Square Garden later that night, but as he touched the app on his phone to order an Uber, he realized he hadn’t asked an important question: How do you get inside the arena? When the pandemic began, Hernández moved back home to Miami, where he posted his own videos on TikTok and hosted a web series for a local news organization. The videos — featuring iterations of his stand-up bits and running commentary on life in Miami-Dade County — accrued millions of views, though the attention brought haters as well as fans.
