In their new Saturday Night Live promo ahead of tomorrow’s episode, however, musical guest Foo Fighters are ready call it, while host Dave Chappelle is leery of rushing into things. “Don’t do it, man,†he warns Dave Grohl. “Just let it happen natural.†Unfortunately, the enthusiastic frontman can’t help himself…from revealing how good their episode is going to be. “Best.

Oh, oh, or even better, Saturday afternoon.
