In a promo for Saturday Night Live, Jenna Ortega reluctantly performs her iconic dance from Wednesday, which became a viral TikTok trend.
In a Saturday Night Live promo ahead of her hosting debut, Jenna Ortega reluctantly performs her iconic Wednesday dance for the Please Don't Destroy boys. Shortly after Wednesday premiered on Netflix in November 2022, one particular scene in episode 4, "Woe What a Night," quickly went viral on social media. In the scene, Ortega, as Wednesday Addams, performs a very Wednesday-like dance to the song "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A clip from Ortega's upcoming SNL appearance sees the actor perform the iconic Wednesday dance scene, albeit reluctantly. She performed the routine with the comedy trio Please Don't Destroy, who began working with Saturday Night Live in 2021. While Ortega isn't too keen on being asked to dance for what must be the millionth time, she decides to humor the Please Don't Destroy boys and get into the Wednesday spirit alongside them.What Jenna Ortega Really Thinks Of The Wednesday Dance The Wednesday dance is easily the most recognizable and iconic scene from the hit Netflix series. Viewers haven't just been captivated by the dance, but also by the unique story behind it.
Since Wednesday's premiere, celebrities like Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, and Camila Cabello have all joined in on the TikTok dance trend. It even reached Russia when figure skater Kamila Valieva recreated the Wednesday dance for one of her routines. However, the hype may have gotten to Ortega. In the Saturday Night Live promo, she pointed out to Please Don't Destroy that the dance had been overused for promotions and suggested doing something else.
It is just a fictional skit, but it could speak to some truth. While Ortega has expressed deep appreciation for the fan reactions, she has also admitted to regretting the Wednesday dance at times. As mentioned above, her workload was so heavy that she didn't have extensive time to plan her moves. Hence, she believes there was more she could've done to improve the dance and finds the hype a little difficult to understand.
