Walton Goggins is playing his own game of whodunnit on the set of “Saturday Night Live” before the “White Lotus” star takes the stage as the upcoming episode’s host. In a new promo posted to the “SNL” X page on Wednesday, Goggins pokes fun at the fervor surrounding the hit HBO show in which he starred by jokingly theorizing with “SNL” cast member Marcello Hernandez about “who’s gonna die” at the end of the NBC sketch show’s season. (HBO, like CNN, is a property of Warner Bros. Discovery.) “It’s not that kind of snow, man. It’s ‘SNL,’ no one’s gonna die,” Hernandez says. Goggins goes on to tell Hernandez his “theory” anyway, saying, “Colin Jost, Michael Che, murder-suicide!” “No!” Hernandez exclaims, adding that “these are real people, they’re not characters… no one is dying.” Undeterred, Goggins continues to wildly theorize about who will kill Hernandez, vacillating between cast members Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman before finally landing on Bowen Yang, joking, “It would always ever be Bowen, because he hates you.”
