Last night, fans of “Bridgerton” were buzzing with excitement when Regé-Jean Page, aka the Duke of Hastings, took to the stage as the host of Saturday Night Live. His rapid rise to fame has garnered him a massive following, and viewers were eagerly tuning in, filling social media with their enthusiasm. The evening kicked off with Page’s captivating monologue.
He began by assuring the audience—and eventually the female cast members—that he is nothing like his on-screen persona, Simon Basset. As he delivered his lines, he playfully fogged up the camera lens with his signature smoldering gaze. Cast members Mia Thompson and Lila Grant soon interrupted him, eager to be his SNL liaisons, offering to cater to his every whim, from drinks to massages.
“You can both relax,” he reassured them. “I’m quite different from the duke.”
“I’m actually quite shy,” he confessed, locking eyes with the camera. “Talking about myself is tough because I prefer to listen.” He took a sip from his drink, prompting everyone watching to reach for their own water in response.
“This is getting intense,” Grant remarked, as Page serenaded the audience with The Righteous Brothers’ classic, “Unchained Melody.” The female cast then referenced fan-favorite moments from “Bridgerton,” sharing specific timestamps that had become legendary among viewers.
Page, amused by their enthusiasm, asked, “What was your favorite part?”
“Hmm, Episode 5, 52 minutes in?” Grant suggested.
“Yeah, Episode 6, 5 minutes in?” Thompson chimed in.
“12 minutes in!” Grant added quickly.
“43 minutes in!” Thompson followed, leading to a comical back-and-forth about the show’s most memorable scenes.
Of course, no episode featuring a “Bridgerton” star would be complete without a related skit. In “Bridgerton Intimacy Coordinator,” Thompson wore a stunning Daphne costume, while McKinney played the director. The skit humorously revealed that their usual intimacy coordinator had a COVID exposure, leading to Mikey Lane stepping in as the bumbling replacement, with Pete Davidson as his clueless assistant.
While the skit was a highlight, the standout moment of the night for many was a different sketch titled “Teen Heartbreak,” featuring Page and a group of guys at a bar. As they played pool, Page selected Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License” from the jukebox, sparking a hilarious discussion about the song’s emotional weight.
“Sounds like some teen girl singing in her room,” quipped Lane’s character. Page countered, “That’s the beauty of it. You got a problem?”
The ensuing sing-along became a comedic spectacle, with the guys passionately dissecting the lyrics as if they were discussing a literary masterpiece. Their exaggerated yet relatable reactions made for a truly memorable moment.
