Guess who\u2019s coming to dinner?<\/p>\n

If Marcello Hernandez had his way, a couple of showbiz A-listers.<\/p>\n

On Sunday night, the \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d comic took the opportunity to address his idols in the audience at the 78th Primetime Emmys at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Hernandez apparently figured the best way to reach a few big-time celebs was from the podium since they might not be running into each other socially later.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what parties I\u2019ve been invited to, and I don\u2019t know what parties you have been invited to,\u201d joked the Miami native, who was there to present the Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series award.<\/p>\n

Hernandez showed up on the red carpet earlier with his mother, Isabel Cancela. (Fans may know the Cubana raised the funnyman in the Kendall area as a single mom, and is included in much of his material.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of material. The first star to get a shoutout from Hernandez was arguably the biggest one \u2014 Harrison Ford.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a legend, man, and a real inspiration to me, and I would like to invite you to have dinner at my house,\u201d Hernandez told the Hollywood vet, adding, \u201cNo pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the camera panned to Ford, he looked more perplexed than amused, and his meh response was one of the most talked about moments of the evening. On X, at least one commenter called the \u201cRaiders of the Lost Ark\u201d legend \u201ccranky,\u201d though we did see a smile emerge later.<\/p>\n

At least Hernandez got a rise out of the next person he zeroed in on in the room: \u201cEuphoria\u201d beauty Zendaya, who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi. You\u2019re a beast and you\u2019re amazing,\u201d Hernandez told her as she laughed. \u201cI saw you, and I wanted to play it cool, and I\u2019ve decided I can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hernandez extended an invite to dinner to not just the actress, but her \u201cSpider-Man\u201d costar, aka fianc\u00e9\/rumored husband Tom Holland, seated behind her. Judging from their reactions, they may take the comic up on that offer.<\/p>\n

Hernandez wasn\u2019t done, calling out fellow 305-er Oscar Isaac, nominated for his role in Netflix\u2019s black comedy \u201cBeef.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Belen Jesuit grad noted that Isaac, whose real name is Hernandez and middle name is Isaac, \u201ccould be cousins, you never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll see you at Christmas,\u201d the \u201c72 Hours\u201d star cracked to the Westminster Christian alum, who nodded and giggled. \u201cI\u2019ll cook you whatever you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
