Gal Gadot knows how to make an entrance.
In a new preview for her hosting stint on Saturday Night Live this weekend, the Wonder Woman star, 32, smashes through a brick wall at the NBC show’s famed Studio 8H.
The spot opens up with season 43 cast regulars Leslie Jones, Beck Bennett, and Mikey Day chatting with scripts in hand. Jones asks her co-stars: ‘What’s up Mikey, what’s up Beck? When’s Gal Gadot gonna get here?’

‘Very excited,’ Day said, to which Bennett replied, ‘Yeah, me too – ‘Hey, you think she’s anything like Wonder Woman in real life?’
The Israeli beauty then enters the studio through the brick wall, with the force of her entrance sending Bennett flying into the empty audience seating.
An irritated Jones yells at the action heroine for the over her entry, saying, ‘Gal Gadot, you cannot do that! We have rules here!’
The 5ft10 stunner sheepishly concedes, ‘The door – I should’ve used the door – I’m so sorry!’

Gadot on Sunday appeared at an event titled Gal Gadot & Meher Tatna In Conversation with Carla Sosenko in New York City, adding that she had confided over her jitters in her first time hosting the show to Meher Tatna, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s president.
She said of her SNL gig: ‘It’s gonna be crazy – I love this show,’ adding that she’s a bit concerned her Israeli accent might come through too strong in the spotlight. She said, ‘That’s my fear: to speak like a dummy. Improv, yeah I did, but never in America on Saturday night – I can barely say Saturday Night Live.’

Saturday Night Live, which will feature Sam Smith as musical guest, airs Saturday on NBC at 11:30/10:30c.
