Gina Ortega is hesitant to perform her viral dance Wednesday in an SNL promo
Gina Ortega is set to host Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the first time on March 11. She will be joined by musical guest The 1975. While the 20-year-old actress may be excited about this new experience, it looks like Jenna wasn’t too excited to perform her viral dance from her show Wednesday — or so the new promo suggests.

In the promo, we see Jenna sneak her now world-famous character Wednesday Addams from her Netflix show Wednesday. She is seen wearing an outfit based on the titular character in the show, when Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy of the comedy trio Please Don’t Ruin approach her and ask her to do the Wednesday Dance again.
Jenna aka Wed appreciates the script after reviewing it and then says it is well written. But she adds that she doesn’t want to do the Wednesday dance because people have seen too much of it. Then you suggest they do something new.
As the trio says they don’t want to do the viral dance either, Ortega points to their clothes. Someone asks if it’s from her TV show, unaware of her character. Then someone else jokes that it looks more like “Thursday Jones” than “Wednesday Addams.”
Upon hearing this, Gina Ortega reluctantly joins the trio to do her viral dance routine.
