Sarah Sherman is very confused about the spelling of Mk.gee's name in the “SNL” promo

It's not for nothing that singer/producer Mk.gee literally taught us how to pronounce his name on his 2018 EP. Pronounced McGee. But here we are with this week's events Saturday Night Live Promo with host comedian Bill Burr, in which actress Sarah Sherman just can't figure out how to figure it out Two stars and dream police Artist's stage name.

“Hello, I'm Bill Burr and I'm hosting SNL This week with Mk.gee,” says Burr, who will host the first show following this week’s historic election, in which former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris. “Mk.gee, how do you spell your name?” asks a confused Sherman.

“M, as in Mk.gee,” replies the enigmatic indie singer-songwriter, who recently revealed he’s in the studio working on Justin Bieber’s next album. “Yeah, 'K' for 'Kiss From a Rose' by Seal,” Burr adds. “Dot as in 'dot com,'” the host continues, while the musical guest concludes with “G as in 'gee.'”

“Okay, whatever, forget I asked,” an annoyed Sherman tells the men.

In the second part, Sherman is very impressed with himself, rolls his eyes and says, “Thanks, I look gorgeous today!”, to which Burr says, “I didn't say you looked gorgeous,” while Mk.gee stands silent in a huge brown coat and a matching colored shirt and a black baseball cap. “I’m talking about Mk.gee,” Burr assures her.

“Your hotel room tonight?” Sherman continues, pretending to have a private conversation with an admirer through a nonexistent earpiece. “What?” asks a confused Burr. “Sorry, I’m on the phone right now. Let me know when the promo starts,” Sherman tells him. “I'm sorry…where were we, Mickey Rourke?” Sherman coos as she holds a finger to her ear to continue the phantom conversation. The latter finally gets the attention of Rourke superfan Burr, although by this point it's too late.

This weekend's performance will be dedicated to 27-year-old Mk.gee's from New Jersey SNL Debut. Mk.gee is currently on a world tour, which takes him to Australia in December.
