\n\tFollowing her \u201cscream queen\u201d debut in Obsession, Inde Navarrette<\/a> flexed her comedy muscle with her Saturday Night Live<\/a> hosting debut.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn this weekend\u2019s episode of the sketch comedy show, the actress teased her upcoming MCU role as Rogue in X-Men, noting that she has to get into Marvel shape while making a joke about Shane Gillis\u2019 sexist opening monologue<\/a> during the last episode. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo, every morning, I put on my little whore outfit and hit the gym,\u201d quipped Navarrette to laughs from the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\tNavarrette also insisted she\u2019s \u201cnothing like Nikki\u201d from Curry Barker\u2019s Obsession, before revealing her boyfriend, who was taped to his studio audience chair.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso during Navarrette\u2019s opening monologue, Marcello Hernandez showed off his costume as a sexy TSA agent; Kam Patterson was Elizabeth Holmes; and Jeremy Culhane was Wolverine, pitching himself for the role in the upcoming Jake Schreier-directed movie. Veronika Slowikowska and Grace Reiter nailed it as Kelly Clarkson and the mechanical singing bird from Clarkson\u2019s online feud with a Brooklyn gift shop.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her first sketch, Navarrette and Hernandez played the ghost of a couple of 1930s kids on the Queen Mary who keep distracting a tourist from hearing where another ghost\u2019s treasure is hidden.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a fake Delta commercial, they introduced \u201cDelta Disruptive,\u201d a new section exclusively for crazy people. \u201cThis plane is made out of Israel,\u201d declares Mikey Day while trying to open the exit door. Navarrette gives a hilarious impersonation of the social media famous woman who insisted, \u201cShe is not real!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor The Uninterested Woman Dating Show, Navarrette hilariously played Dane, one of the f*ckboy contestants, along with Jane Wickline and Sarah Sherman.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn The Inventor, Navarrette played an inventor\u2019s wife coming home to all his inventions after his funeral, finding a robot he made for her named PD-44. When she brings home a date (Ben Marshall) six years later, the robot rips off his penis and blows him up, as she realizes his name means \u201cPenis Destroyer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe did love me. My husband did love me after all,\u201d she says, covered in blood.<\/p>\n

\n\tTeaming up for another sketch, Navarrette and Hernandez play Spanish soap opera stars who are asked to work product placement for Sprite Cherry Lime Habanero into their scene, which goes disastrously for the brand. It ultimately ends with him urging her to drink the soda to kill her unborn baby, who was conceived by his brother.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
