‘SNL’: Please Don’t Destroy Trio Convince Reluctant Jenna Ortega To Do The ‘Wednesday’ Dance In New Promo

etcanada.com:

Jenna Ortega is making her hosting debut on this weekend’s edition of “Saturday Night Live”, and a new promo features the “Wednesday” star being pitched an idea by “SNL” writer/performers Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, known collectively as Please Don’t Destroy.

In the promo, Ortega is seen leafing through a script before explaining she’d rather not do her now-iconic “Wednesday” dance in the promo they’re about to film, “because we’ve seen so much of that already and I think it’s time to do something new.” With that, the camera pans to the trio, each of whom is dressed identically — as Wednesday Addams.
