Earlier this month, Disney revealed the cast for their upcoming “pseudo-live-action remake” of The Lion King, with Beyoncé as the voice of Nala, Donald Glover as the voice of Simba, and appearances from Seth Rogen, Eric André, John Oliver, and more as well. Last night on SNL, the show’s cast imagined the making of the film, staging a faux-audition sequence. Host Tiffany Haddish portrayed Cardi B alongside Chris Redd as Migos rapper Offset in their audition for the roles of Timon and Pumba, while portrayals of Eminem, LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige, and Lin-Manuel Miranda split sides as Simba, Pumba, and more. The episode also featured Taylor Swift as its musical guest. Watch a clip of the sketch below.
