Jenna Ortega Remakes ‘The Parent Trap’ on ‘Saturday Night Live’ — Alongside Wednesday’s Fred Armisen

They’re more than sisters, they’re like twins! During her Saturday Night Live hosting debut, Jenna Ortega mounted a reboot of The Parent Trap — with her Wednesday costar Fred Armisen.“We’re so excited to be doing this remake of The Parent Trap [and] you know, we found some ways to update the original,” cast member Bowen Yang kicked off the Saturday, March 11, sketch, pretending to be the upcoming film’s director. “You know, the scene in the cabin when Hallie and Annie realize they are twins is such a classic, so we wanted to leave it as it was.”The Scream 6 star, 20, immediately agreed, noting that it was “really special” to book the role of both Hallie and Annie.

However, since Ortega would be playing both characters, Yang, 32, enlisted one of the movie’s “crew guys” (Armisen) to step in as her body double during production.“This is going to be fun, I think I get the gist,” the 56-year-old former SNL cast member quipped as he walked onto the stage.Ortega and the Portlandia alum went to perform the notable scene from the 1998 film adaptation where Lindsay Lohan’s twins disagreed over when to switch off the cabin lights at bedtime.“Turn them off,” Armisen retorted, shortly before his scene partner called him annoying. “And I’m starting to think you’re a real bitch. … Sorry about that, I did a little off-the-cuff thing, you know, like they do on Curb [Your Enthusiasm].

You guys watch Curb? I love Curb.”Armisen’s character continued to pitch new ways to spice up the scene, including having his Annie constantly be “on the toilet” and sharing his crush on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna.
