During the “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) 50th anniversary special, a memorable moment unfolded involving actors Jenna Ortega and Kevin Costner. In a sketch led by John Mulaney, former SNL cast members Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte performed a comedic musical number in the audience. Their animated performance led to an unexpected interaction with Ortega and Costner, resulting in a humorous and slightly awkward situation.

As Sudeikis and Forte’s characters engaged in a lively singing duel, they positioned themselves on either side of Ortega and Costner, effectively sandwiching the two actors between them. This close proximity led to visible discomfort, especially from Ortega, whose reactions were captured on camera and quickly circulated online.

The incident sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many viewers finding humor in the candid expressions of Ortega and Costner. Some fans speculated about the authenticity of their discomfort, debating whether it was genuine or part of the scripted performance.

Despite the unexpected nature of the interaction, both Ortega and Costner maintained their composure, adding an unplanned yet entertaining layer to the anniversary special. Their professionalism in handling the surprise highlighted their adaptability and contributed to the evening’s memorable moments.
