Following her fun time hosting Saturday Night Live, Gal Gadot was seen departing New York the next day. The 32-year-old actress, known for her role as Wonder Woman, looked effortlessly stylish at JFK airport in a black sweater, leggings, and white sneakers. Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and she added a touch of flair with black sunglasses and a plaid scarf. Check out the video below for more highlights of her time on the show.
Off she goes: Following her successful guest-hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, Gal Gadot was seen departing New York on Sunday. A highlight from the episode was when Gal, portraying Wonder Woman on the fictional island of Themyscira, shared a kiss with SNL cast member Kate McKinnon. In the skit, Kate and Aidy Bryant portrayed American lesbians who ended up on the Amazonian island in search of like-minded individuals, only to be met with disappointment.
Looking effortlessly stylish, the 32-year-old actress from Wonder Woman was seen sporting a sleek airport look at JFK. She rocked a basic black sweater paired with matching leggings and finished off the look with some white sneakers.
In a surprising turn of events, Diana decides to test her feelings by attempting to kiss one of the characters. Kate’s character Drae steps up without hesitation, leading to an unexpected smooch that elicited cheers from the audience. However, Diana confesses that she doesn’t feel anything, leaving the visitors from Themyscira disheartened.
During her opening monologue, Gal excitedly shared that she grew up in Israel and was thrilled that the show was being broadcast live in her home country for the first time. She couldn’t contain her happiness as she greeted her loved ones in Hebrew, including a quick message for her friends and family back home.
Staying cozy: With her hair pulled back into a bun, Gal added a touch of chic to her outfit with some trendy black sunglasses and a plaid scarf.
As she addressed the audience, the caption on screen read: “Hey everyone! Just a heads up – there seems to be a mix-up here. These writers clearly don’t know much about Israel. They keep portraying me eating hummus in every sketch. I mean, I enjoy hummus, but seriously,” she joked.
“They mean well, but they’re a bit off base. I think they actually think I’m the real Wonder Woman. Wish me luck! I’ll need it.”
Joining Gal in her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live was Leslie Jones, who played “Time Square’s Wonder Woman”. “You know how you take photos with little girls who adore you? Well, I do the same with tourists from Germany,” she added with a laugh.
The highlight of the show: In the latest episode, social media went wild when Gal shared a kiss with Kate McKinnon, a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live.
At home, Gal was embodying the role of Wonder Woman, also known as Diana, on her beautiful Mediterranean island called Themyscira, where she lived among a group of powerful women warriors known as the Amazon clan.
The recent episode received some backlash online for not addressing the major news story of the week – multiple allegations of sexual harassment against Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein, as reported in the New York Times.
After the Saturday Night Live after-party ended, show creator Lorne Michaels was approached by someone who mentioned the absence of any mention of Harvey Weinstein in the show. Michaels responded by saying, “It’s a New York thing.”
A source shared that during the dress rehearsal, there was a joke about Weinstein in the “weekend update” segment that garnered a strong reaction from the audience. However, the joke was ultimately cut from the live broadcast.
Kate and Aidy Bryant portray a pair of American lesbians who end up on an island and are eager to connect with other lesbians, only to be let down when they realize that there are no lesbians among the Amazons they encounter.
“I don’t feel anything, sorry,” Diana admitted before suggesting, “Maybe I should try kissing one of you to see if it sparks something.” Drae, played by Kate, immediately volunteered for the task.
