In a new promo shared by SNL, host Jenna Ortega seems hesitant to perform the viral Wednesday dance for the show..

In the new promo ahead of her appearance on March 11 when she hosts SNL, the star looks on with a deadpan expression at the cue to perform the dance again and then reluctantly gives in..

In the promo shared by SNL on Twitter, Jenna looks at a script as she turns around to speak to the Please Dont Destroy Boys comedy trio of Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy, and says: Honestly, this is really well written, I just dont feel like I want to do the Wednesday dance for promo because weve seen so much of that already and I think its time to do something new..

The boys, who are dressed exactly like Wednesday's character in full-black, pretend that they have no clue about the show and had no intention to dance for the promo..

So the fact that anyone is showing appreciation and try it themselves, it's not fathomable to me," the 20-year-old star had said.. Wednesday stars Jenna as the titular character along with Christina Ricci, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, and Gwendoline Christie..
