Anitta Makes SNL Debut, Ben Marshall Parodies Jack Harlow

Anitta appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night, making her the first ever Brazilian artist to do so. The Rio-born singer performed "Várias Quejas" and the newly-released single "Choka Choka" from her album Equilibrium, which is out this coming Friday. The studio version of "Choka Choka" is a duet with Shakira, who did not appear during Anitta's SNL performances, but you can watch/listen to both versions below.

Otherwise, last night's SNL was pretty light on the music: Colin Jost reprised his role as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whose ringtone is canonically Smash Mouth's "All Star." In a bit that was cut for time, "Jack Harlow" (Ben Marshall) stopped by Weekend Update to discuss his Monica era and how he got Blacker.

Here were Anitta's promos with host Colman Domingo and cast member Sarah Sherman.

Equilibrium is out 4/16 via Republic.
