“Hi, I’m Dakota. Welcome to my home away from home, Studio 8H.”

The first promo for Dakota Johnson’s Saturday Night Live hosting stint dropped today and it’s a sendup of the now-venerable celebrity home tour genre popular with Conde Nast-y publications like Architectural Digest and Vogue.

More from Deadline

In it Johnson, who’s making her return to the show after first hosting in 2015, takes viewers on a peppy – and slightly snide – tour of Studio 8H.

Among the jabs:

Johnson says the “8H” in the studio’s name stands for “800, which is how much Lorne bought the studio for in 1812.”

In the makeup room: “Fun fact, all these wigs are made with chinchilla hair. It looks really great on camera, but f*** it stinks!”

She visits Punkie Johnson’s dressing room where general mayhem is afoot before revealing the chaos is a result of one specific demand on her rider.

To see more, watch the clip below.

SNL airs Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p..m. PT on NBC and streams live on Peacock. Justin Timberlake is this week’s musical guest and, given his history with the show, it’s a good bet he might show up in a skit or two.

Instant view: Investor reactions to briefing from China's finance ministry on stimulus
China said on Saturday it will "significantly increase" government debt issuance to offer subsidies to people with low incomes, support the property market and replenish state banks' capital as it pushes to revive sputtering economic growth. Without providing details on the size of the fiscal stimulus being prepared, Finance Minister Lan Foan told a news conference there will be more "counter-cyclical measures" this year. Global financial markets have been keenly awaiting more details on China's stimulus plans, fearing its 2024 economic growth target and longer-term growth trajectory may be at risk if more support is not announced soon.
