Bruno Mars opens the show with a song about how he's nervous to host SNL and that he's a girl, and when Kenan Thompson comes out to the stage to ask if he's actually a girl, Bruno gets a confidence boost and shoves him aside. [Season 38, 2012]

He’s one of the greatest examples of an artist who never needs autotune.
His half Filipino it's in his blood to be a natural singer
He does use auto tune tho. Everyone does
@@joshconnell8797 were not saying he doesnt use it. Were saying he doesn't need it and sounds even better live.
@@joshconnell8797 he does not, Joshua. He did use the talk box for 24k Magic, but that's it. The man is a live performer every single time. So just because your fave has to lip sync to cover up their mediocre vocals, doesn't mean he does. 🙄🤡
@@feliciasanders2066 In his studio recordings he does. Everyone does. I love Bruno Mars, but that is a fact. Idk about live. I’d assume you don’t have perfect pitch, so you can’t tell if he’s on or off. It’s not a lot, but he’s not perfect. I do enjoy his voice more live tho, but you can hear the difference if you look for it. Also, no need to throw around insults. I don’t feel the need to act like a 5 year old, and I hope you don’t either.
The man oozes charisma and charm, he is an amazing entertainer whose natural effervescence is contagious
You should be my evanescence
So true. Your words sound more like the lyrics Bruno will sing. 😊
One might say that he is dripping in finesse
@@kevinnicolello8709 😂😂😂😂smooth
@@elissao.6585 lol right? That's what being drunk on the internet will do to a man.
If Michael Jackson was still alive he would probably be a big fan of Bruno.
Janet is and said he looks alot like one of her nephews.
Please can you say that alil louder ...
I'd say you were %100 correct! Michael loved people and he appreciated talented people and art!
The whole Jackson family loves Bruno. Janet, her Brothers & even the dad(Joe)
He most definitely would. Mike loved art and people so when people are passionate about art, his heart went 💗💙💚💓💛💞🧡💕❤️❣️💜❤️💕💚💓
7 years passed and I am still here watching this video 🤗 10 years-2024 still here appreciating his sexy voice again 😅
incredible, why couldn't you finish yet?
Saaaaameeeeee
LITERALLY HE IS SO FUNNY
Same... bruno is wickedly talent! I love when they do the church bit....back up singers are hilarious 😂😂😂
Sis you are a legend
"Kenan you're in my shot. Get yo ass off the stage" had me rollin. I love Bruno mars. We need more people like him.
I was rolling too , lol🤣😂
that shit was funny as hell i had no i dear that bruno was that funny i just love him
The Danish girl is beautiful and the Danish girl looks the same as the American girl a friend of Bruno Mars I want to marry a Danish and another choice I want to marry an American
Bruno is actually a great actor. He is so charismatic when he gets on a stage
i found it only to be mildly funny... but man, can that guy sing! and his voice is truly exceptional
Haby 2611 I know right
Could Bruno Mars do music video for live action version of Aladdin
Well Donald glover does all that, plus he is an actor and comedian
@@KeleDK I love Donald Glover, but he's a jack of all trades, master of none. He's pretty good at a lot, but not great
Three Things: 1) Bruno was legit FUNNY here. Every move, expression, inflection, double-take, and cue was perfect. He _crushed_ this monologue. 2) Kenan showed right here why he's the G.O.A.T. -- he's low-key phenomenal as a straight man who punches up the punchlines. 3) Those back-up performers were TIGHT! Great vocals, moves, and timing with their lines. I hope the audience was laughing more on the inside, because this was a great opening monologue. SNL, let's revisit Mars!!!
He needs to come back with Andy!
Jazmine walker
@@SergeantSkeleton haha true.. I bet if those two will be guest hosts it would be the most funny monologue
Back performers were bruno's own crew. Great guys.
Marcel...Love your comments!!
Who came from instagram 🤣🤣
Me lol
😅😅 me too!!!!
He's the most talented artist in the music industry right now. He dances, sings, plays instruments and can act
And write sing own songs and some for others
Indeed!
Triple threat and more
I rank ed sheeran above him..
You forgot, he writes good songs, not just for himself but for other artists as well.
The part of him singing with his backup singers is gold
anonymous4142 OMG THE BACKUP SINGERS ARE HIS PACK OF HOOLIGANS! His group that he always performs with.
anonymous4142 THEY THE HOOLIGANS! PHRED, PHIL, JAMAREO, AND KAMERON YOU TRIPPING
They are part of his band
He is unreal. I’ve been to so many concerts of so many artists. Bruno Mars was the only artist my son ever asked to see so we went and I’m so grateful we did. Absolutely brilliant.
This is from 7 years ago!!! Now i have to head to Hulu and watch entire show. Thank you Covid for something! I was told I too negative -look for the positives.
When the swagger and soul of James Brown, Musicianship of Prince, the Performance ability of Michael Jackson’s were combined to form a human being.....Bruno Mars.
You said it right!!
Def the height of Prince 😝
MJ 2.0 (with some James Brown Groovies...)
@@rayovsaan1820 Prince was shorter.🙄
Clearly you've never seen Prince perform live tho
Bruno was ranked the second best musician who's hosted SNL in history :) so well deserved!
who was the first?
414aliha Justin timberlake
for sure justin was the better host but NEVER the better musician ;) but i know what you meant
me88567 i hate justin timberlake!!!
So does it mean that taylor is the third
His vocal was so on point, damn
Bruno is so charismatic and charming. He makes everything look so easy. I think he is in a league of his own.
I agree he is like the very best.
The Danish girl is beautiful and the Danish girl looks the same as the American girl a friend of Bruno Mars I want to marry a Danish and another choice I want to marry an American
He's literally the perfect example of a total performer
Bruno mentioned in an interview that he and the crew wrote this monologue 10 minutes before the show that's woaaa
The12mjac And you believed that?😂
The12mjac amazing
I actually remembered Bill Hader's interview about the monologue and it made sense that they did it 10 mins before the show 🤣
oml feeling my old crush on him coming up again
i feel that too now XD
OMG I feel that too right now!!
Where the hell did it go? I will always love this man! 😂😍
MJ and Patrick at the Cøld Fall Out Disco! Dragons me too it went away for 7 years, since 2011, didn't care much about him and his career, now I'm in love all over again 😍
MJ and Patrick at the Cøld Fall Out Disco! Dragons mine never left😜😜😜
Dude is blessed with beautiful voice.
He grew up deep inside old school music and he learnt that genre. His art is special and that funk he does will live forever. Respect to the kid wonder
Hey That was cool but did you see this young Bruno clip? kzhead.info/sun/bMl_oNVqeql5aok/bejne.html
😂😂 "Keenan you're in my shot"
I think he'd be a wonderful actor. He's been performing since he was 5 years old. He was an Elvis impersonator. Anyway - singer songwriter and dancer. Awesome.
He looks like he would love Elvis 😂 how could he not!?
Del Cee he was on the arsenio hall show then right?
And musician
Actually since he was 4... but who’s counting right 🤷🏻♂️
Bruno can make anything sound great. He's super talented
100% agreed 👍 🙌 👏 👌 💯 ❤
Hey That was cool but did you see this young Bruno clip? kzhead.info/sun/bMl_oNVqeql5aok/bejne.html
He's f****** amazing man. One part MJ, one part Elvis, one part James Brown, and one part himself.
he loved do elvis as a kid!
Prince too
this was supposed to be funny, but I swear I got chills and almost cried for this performance
Me Too Those Vocals and Charisma....
Likewise this man spews talent🤗
It's so good
The way he's singing his monologue like you're at his concert! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's like a tiny Dwayne Johnson.
with a lot of hair
Only thing they have in common is the dark skin. Haha
Michael T and the but-load of charisma
Nic Dunbar yea you’re probably right. Both do
Well i have a same though, both have similar smile.
When Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak’s supergroup) drops their album THEY BETTER BE ON SNL.
second that
Third it
“Keenan, you’re in my shot. Get your ass off the stage.” Favorite part lol
he could be a great gospel singer
Phenomenal gospel singer!! This monologue was very gospel-esque I thought
He's one of the few current crop of musicians who can sing in any genre.
The way they started shouting at the end though😂😂😂
He actually added some gospel onto his live performance of that's what I like.
He sounds like Israel Haughton
Bruno and his adorable fun-size self. This kid is talented beyond belief. I really like the way he moves with simple understated steps that are real and confident, not trashy.
Am I the only one smiling the whole vid. ? 😂😁
Napsie Napa nope. I’m also smiling here
Definitely not the only one....
My cheeks hurt by the end of the video😂 that's how much I was smiling
U not alone man😂😂
Same haha
Bruno "I have no acting talent" Says the shampoo thing everyone is diying...😂 Cuteeee
He reminds me so much of Michael Jackson...
Michael Jackson from the thriller video.. The ghost one!
He grew up listening Michael Jackson, Bruno was even an MJ impersonator so clearly had a big influence on him musically speaking :)
He's an elvis impersonator. even featured as the youngest at age 4
He looks very much like the younger MJ. Dear God, I thought I was the only one.
He looks like MJ's son Blanket. Bigi.
My brother on the far right broke out into a praise dance at the end 😂 Yes Brother!
He could sing the phonebook and it would be a hit
what if bruno be a The Voice coach ?! -*me feel like i would watch each episode.
EVERY EPISODE even on repeat with the ones of him singing☺️
I've been waiting for that since the show started 😂😭
Saame
EXAAAAAAACTLY!
"Please be gentle...." :-) ...aaww and his face at 4:56!!!
Angel28Blue He is so cuute😭😍
He's sweet😍
I competed with Bruno in Memphis, Tn when he was like 4 years old lol He was "little Elvis" and I was 50's Elvis! lo Great times
Nigga stop lyin
@@delinseurn why does he have to lying. Like Bruno didn't have a life before he became a super star
@@delinseurn Bruno was an Elvis impersonator. He's actually in the movie Honeymoon in Vegas.
Very nice Mr.!!!!! 👍 👌 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@delinseurn not a nigga and I don't lie, stop trolling
Bruno's smile puts a smile on my face.. Bruno's voice makes my heart melt.. His cuteness is too much to handle.. Bruno takes me my soul to the Mars!!!
The Danish girl is beautiful and the Danish girl looks the same as the American girl a friend of Bruno Mars I want to marry a Danish and another choice I want to marry an American
Bruno is so charismatic and beautiful and crazy talented too.. wow! I could look and listen to him for hours! :)
His my boy. Half Philipinos and half puertorican. A great intertertainer. Love all his songs ❤️.
Filipino not Philipinos. Half Filipino, half Puerto Rican.
@@anishlavarez348 Correct.
Funny thing is that his ex girlfriend is a filipino as well
Well he is American so
Fr

That voice! A true entertainer.
Bruno is Awesome, humble, funny & a true artist ❤️❤️❤️
Song name?
Bruno: "I'm not a comedian" Me: BUT MAN I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING WHAAHAHAHAHHA I LOVE YOU PETER!!!
He’s an old soul for sure. The way he sings is so legendary
Hahaha, this whole thing just made me smile. When Bruno's entourage was encouraging him, it reminded me of that once scene in Rock-a-Doodle when that baby bird was stuck in the mud. So cute!
I actually got the holy spirit listening to Bruno Mars. Damn he's phenomenal
Who else came here after watching "leave the door open"
Here
Eu kkkkk
you're talking to me!
Here 🙋
Meeee!!
Phenominal talent.. One of the greatest showmen of all time ~ period. No short man syndrome, just amazing talent combined with charisma, likability, humbleness and zest for life...
Yes I have to agree
Hey That was cool but did you see this young Bruno clip? kzhead.info/sun/bMl_oNVqeql5aok/bejne.html
bruno mar´s must be among my top fave guest hosts of snl. he nailed his skits and not to mention amazing musical stage.
don't argue on his skin color. it's not black it's not white. it's KAYUMANGGI. :)
Ma. Cecilia Magat No it's *gorgeous*
it's called "Moreno"😍
Jessica Jung kere bo tampa
@@paps3462 hahaha terible ya
pilipinas represent ✨
*....can't deny this guy's Talent.*
Bruno is the Ultimate performer
God, such a beautiful voice!!
He is I love his voice
Pushes Keenan off the stage✋proceeds to hit every note flawlessly...guess he found his confidence 😏
I keep coming back to it and laugh as if I'm watching it for the first time. Such a talented artist Bruno is.
❤❤
He just makes me cry! I see so many legendary ones before him flash before my eyes, when he performs!
He took a page from different legendary acts now u got Bruno mars #smart
He totally crushed this gig. I love the Merryville Halloween ride sketch especially. Makes me laugh every time 😂
It was creepy in a good way.
"that one is smoking!"
That and the pandora sketch were so good
His voice is so perfect
Bruno has got some the kindest, most joyous eyes I’ve seen. I’ve never met him, and by the look of him I see a good and decent human being. And that’s before he even sings a note or says a word.
I Found Smokin' out the window video and loved it. Came looking for more Bruno.
He looks so damn good
I was so lucky I got to see that whole SNL show and taped it at home. Bruno Mars has to be the number one best of all times!! That show was on top. It was the first time I'd ever seen him or heard of him. Love at first sight.
2:45 SOUNDED LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON
The fact that they never did a show with Bruno after this and gave him say “it’s Saturday night a we in the spot” is legitimately upsetting
he's like a modern version of James brown
Eva Oliveira I agree! he has the energy and rich voice of James Brown
More like Michael Jackson
I agree with Jackie or Michael
Eva Oliveira oh my goodness I thought the same thing. Especially after the Super Bowl Performance!! He danced liked James Brown!
omg he's so cute 😭😭😭 your cute little dimples 😍😍😍😍 I love love love love love youuuuuuu
He is unique.
👏
He pretty confident the more I learn about him.
Bruno is the best among all artist living. He is a legend! He deserve better
Fr fr he the best performer of his generation
Its some southern baptist revival holy ghost having breakdown moments that we all need right now.
Hey Bruno, Filipino girls ain't scared of anything
Haha right
Except for when they lost their mom’s Tupperware and her slippers starts flying at them.
That's what Kenan wanted to say.
@@julfinch you're right
Ahas? Scrorpion? Mga addict sa kanto? Dika takot? :D
He's so damn natural
4:28 Lil bit of MJ came out there!
He and his crew are amazing! That’s what I call pure and genuine talent!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This deserves and needs more views
Best artist opening on SNL. It's a shame this episode doesn't get more recognition! I will always remember watching it as a 14 year old and only wanting nothing but to be like BRUNO.
How can you not love this guy
THIS IS THE BEST MONOLOGUE *EVERRRR* !!!!
I Loved how his bass player improvised his step seeing other band members' legs at 3:18..This shows their extreme co-ordination.
Im a Filipino, Bruno. A fan of yours and also a songwriter.
Michael would of been really impressed by his talents, it’s never nice to compare them because they both are in completely different areas of skills. But nevertheless Bruno is incredibly talented and a amazing performer and person:)
his vocals is the best since Michael, nobody can compare to him or Michael.
Exactly
Tsitsi King bot even JT 😂
Proud Filipino Hooligan Here !
Arvee De Castro same
Arvee De Castro ulol
Camago Anthony Douvhe Bag! I ain't Messing With A FOOL! B_tch!
