Harry Styles Sings, Hosts And Acts On 'SNL' — And Shows Off A New Song

NPR  

Harry Styles Sings, Hosts And Acts On 'SNL' — And Shows Off A New Song YouTube screen grab by NPR This week's Saturday Night Live asked a lot of Harry Styles, as it brought the former One Direction star onboard to serve as both its host and its musical guest. At every turn, he brought something extra: He trotted out accents — as an Icelandic impending dad, a presumably Southern airline copilot, a drug dealer's hired muscle and so on — and sang in both a musical-theater satire and a prerecorded video in which he played the human embodiment of Aidy Bryant's dog. The show mercifully left him out of a grim cold open — one of those brutally thudding SNL bits where they trot out an endless parade of celebrity impersonations, but they're just the week's newsmakers, so each new person has to be clumsily introduced in the dialogue. Given the audience's reaction — and the overall public anticipation for Styles' new album Fine Line, due out Dec. 13 — the singer's in no danger of needing to shed his day job.
