Marcello Hernández isn’t quite ready to call it quits on Domingo—or any of his other signature Saturday Night Live characters.
“I’m there, I’m there, I’m there,” he exclusively reassured Live From E!: Critics Choice Awards‘ Justin Sylvester on the red carpet Jan. 4 at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards. (See all the stars in attendance.)
Cue the collective phew, especially following on the heels of Bowen Yang‘s midseason exit last month.
But Marcello, who joined SNL in 2022, noted that he’s still having a great time, telling Justin, “I’m having fun, bro. It’s a crazy job and you get to meet so many crazy people—and I love it.”
It was hard to say farewell to Bowen, but the 28-year-old comedian appreciates the level his now former cast mate rose to on every occasion.
“I look at it like sports,” Marcello explained. “That’s a guy who put up numbers. Consistent, always putting up big sketches and he had a distinct voice, and everybody loves him.”
