In a promo for Saturday’s (Sept. 28) episode, the iconic sketch comedy series looks back at some of the show’s best moments with help from the actress. However, after showing one too many throwback clips, Smart hilariously gets annoyed that she’s repeatedly interrupted and the attention is being taken from her.

“Knock it off already, alright? Geez. Can we make this a little more about me?” she tells the camera, before inevitably getting interrupted once again.

The first episode of the landmark season on Sept. 28 will feature Smart as host joined by first-time musical guest Jelly Roll. The six-time Emmy-winning Smart — who just won outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for a third time for her portrayal of Deborah Vance on the HBO/Max series Hacks — has never hosted SNL previously. The episode also marks Jelly Roll’s first Saturday Night Live appearance.

Watch the promo below, and catch the season 50 premiere of SNL on Saturday (Sept. 28) at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC, before it streams on Peacock.
