Bad Bunny took the world by storm when he was announced as the halftime performer for the 2026 Super Bowl. The announcement took place during Sunday Night Football between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.
Even days later, it remains a hot topic, as many love the choice while others are against it due to Bunny’s style of music. On “Saturday Night Live,” the crew put together quite the montage despite the critics.
Saturday Night Live Fires Back At FOX News After Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Announcement
While there were plenty of noteworthy moments from Bunny’s SNL appearance, the one that garnered the most attention was a compilation of Fox News clips. Bunny introduced the clip, one that portrayed their message in a different light.
“I’m very happy, and I think everybody’s happy about it, even FOX News,” Bunny spoke. A video was then played with nine different clips cobbled together, which resulted in the message, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.”
This video comes on the heels of multiple Fox hosts expressing displeasure with the NFL’s decision to have Bunny as the halftime performer. After playing in sold-out shows around the United States, Bunny is quickly becoming one of the most popular names in the entire world. He may not be a household name just yet, but his name has been on everyone’s lips since this announcement.
At the end of the day, people watch the Super Bowl no matter what. They’ll always be there for the commercials and halftime show, even though people pretend they are going to boycott and not watch, depending on the performer. Once again, that was the case this year. SNL knew exactly what they were doing by targeting FOX News, one of the main media outlets that has an issue with Bunny’s impending performance.

The game is still going to sell out, there are still going to be millions of viewers, but halftime shows are always divided. This year, Bunny’s name seems to have caused more chaos than ever before. His style of music may not be for everyone, but he’s still a multi-time Grammy-winning artist. Those awards aren’t just handed out to everyone; they are only given to the best of the best.
At this point, it’s far too early to tell which teams will be playing at Levi’s Stadium. The one thing confirmed is Bad Bunny’s presence as he’ll be performing the halftime show in San Francisco.
