Jenna Ortega and Fred Armisen are, like, twins!
One episode of playing Addams family members on Wednesday wasn’t enough for Jenna Ortega and Fred Armisen. When the breakout star hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time on March 11, her TV uncle not only supported her from the audience, he also joined her in a sketch as another onscreen relative. This time, Armisen — a longtime SNL vet — stood in as Ortega’s twin sister as they worked on a “remake” of The Parent Trap.
The hilarious SNL sketch features Ortega as the star of a new Parent Trap by Bowen Yang’s director character. Like Hayley Mills and Lindsay Lohan before her, Ortega’s character is meant to play both twins. She’s ready to go, but her body double is out sick, so they get one of the “crew guys” to read with her.
