This guy is ON THE COME UP! He’s getting more sketches on the show and he’s got AMAZING chemistry with the guests. Bravo to him for the hard work!

[@lindsaygarcia5212]

For sure, most of the newer comedy dudes get a really icy response from the audience but they love him. He seems very relaxed and comfortable; he's a total natural.

[@tonytonytoooony]

I agree with everything you said, but you failed to mention that he's fucking hot 🥵🥵🥵 he's a 10/10 cutie and I want to kiss him on the lips 🥵🥵🥵

[@mcicala]

I love that he’s taking his mom everywhere. That’s like the core of Latino Men

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Marcello is my favorite SNL cast member he is comedy genius so endearing love see him getting his flowers he deserves it 🌺❤.

[@julieta8683]

Same here when it comes to the new cast of SNL for the 2020s my favorites are Marcello Hernández and Punkie Johnson 🤣💕

awww his hands are shaking, he's nervous😭😭 MARCELLO YOU'RE INCREDIBLE ILY🥰🥰

[@bitzels]

I went to NYC in Feb of 2020 and was one of the ones Marcello sold comedy show tickets to on the street. I remember being surprised he had a set, I thought he was just the ticket guy 😂 He was the funniest that night; he had us cry-laughing. I tried to keep up with his comedy….but COVID times. I was not surprised to see him on SNL. Great Job Marcello 🥳🥳

[@meganmccargish379]

Damn. I'm SO jealous!!!

[@bluebellrose8]

They need this guy to host the Oscars! He has so much positive energy! I Love it:)

[@henryperez2323]

He is very confident. Cubans I love you guys but sorry😂, he got the funny and confidence from the Dominican side and if you don’t believe me check out both cultures. Not putting down Cubans

[@dbhchkzkxj]

Omg like really they NEED to have him on the oscars.

[@carlosacta8726]

@@henryperez2323 The cubanos will be looking for you!!!😂😂😂

marcello and Pedro were wonderful together and really showed me how funny Marcello is. that Spanish king skit was SO FUNNY. keep it up, Marcello

[@michelledilonevalerio6881]

The “I love u mami” at the end 😭❤️

[@iamcoriane9854]

0:43 caught me off guard because this is literally the EXACT way he says "mama" in the overprotective mom sketches with Pedro Pascal

[@EntretenimientoConPerspectiva]

So proud a hispanic guy is in SNL and keep on rocking that joint

[@bthelion9177]

"Sweet caroline " 😂😂😂

[@eic2112]

[@air2838]

I like how he sticking with the tux thing for his first appearances. He did it for Seth's show also

[@SincerelyGustavo]

[@temporaladvisor3958]

Marcello has been a great addition to the SNL cast. Wishing him many more years followed by a lucrative comedy career.

[@soooooomaybe8049]

Eddie Murphys brain, Chris Farley range, a tiny bit of Fallon charm, a lot of Martin short, this guy was born to be famous

[@jessycafeiteira7726]

This guy is just so promising!!! He cracks me up every time!

[@WhyYesIAmABich]

Very funny set! He's one, I mean uno 😂, of the best on SNL right now! I've been watching SNL since the 80s and Marcelo is a standout!

[@l.a7710]

As a an immigrant myself many decades ago at 18, Marcello is the only real Latino comic I can identify with with, no stupid gimmicks, pure fun and truth, plus he is 305 all the way, bringing his mom everywhere and dressing up like the star that he is , legit Latino man!

[@DanielaGREY]

Marcello is such an inspiration! Un orgullo Latino! Saludos desde Oregon! ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@TheTaurean]

I am so proud of Marcello! Mi Gente!! He deserves allll of his shine now. He is for sure a star.

[@ellieboa]

He is so funny!!! Love Marcello

[@scottinsierras2945]

He is hilarious love the new young comedians in SNL

[@Hola-polooza]

Buena Marcello! Eres uno de los mejores en SNL sino el mejor!

[@Eyeball_Heroin]

He’s a comedian fledgling, it’s going to be so fun to watch him mature and keep improving on his craft. I hope Jimmy feels properly honored, the dude wore a Tux for him and gave him a personalized labeled wine 🍷. See you on SNL

[@jensjwisubmeitebyseicene]

I love his accent so much!!

[@evaarroyo100]

ACCENT?? He was born and grew up in Florida?? Do you know what an accent Is? He fakes the accent to make it more funny.

[@accountingmanager5964]

​@evaarroyo100 Just because he grew up in Florida doesn't mean he won't have an accent. If your parents are immigrants, it is not hard to pick up their accent, especially if you are always speaking in their native language. I am around so many Hispanics that were born here, but they have heavy Latino accents. It's amazing really.

[@evaarroyo100]

@@accountingmanager5964 You are crazy and mas loca que la cabra de Pepe. Who told you that? If THE TRUTH IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR YOU MAKE IT UP. We grew up with parents who had accents and none of us have an accents.

[@sophiasings_08]

Marcello is Americas sweetheart

[@alatorra1234]

He's so cute and so good!

[@Karime18]

I LOVE Marcello!!! He's so funny and FRESH.

[@robertamarcon7462]

I can relate to that myself. I'm not Hispanic but Italian, and if one of my friends tell this to an American, they start trying to speak Italian or do something on the lines of what Marcello said. The funny thing is, only Americans do it, in Europe absolutely not 😅

[@english_breakfastwo]

His Voice though. INSANE. !!
