Issa Rae Likens ‘Saturday Night Live’ Debut To “Prom” During Opening Monologue Issa Rae   made her   Saturday Night Live   hosting debut and reflected on her success within the past four years. Upon her entrance the   Insecure   and   The Photograph   star said it was an honor to walk and perform on the same stage as the comedy legends that came before her, including Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Of course, that debut came with some nerves. “I’m scared that I might throw up but I gotta hold it down because I’m the first black person to host  SNL  y’all,” the actress joked before she told audience members otherwise. “I’m not, but you believed it for a sec.” She went on to say how she’s coming to host the sketch series in a peculiar moment, given the COVID-19 and the upcoming presidential election. Rae recalled how  Insecure  premiered on HBO around of the 2016 election and the eventual victory of Donald Trump. “It felt really awkward for...
