Singer Nick Jonas performed the dual duty as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” and reassured his nervous brother Kevin that, yes, they are still a band.
“Honestly, I’m very excited to be here and support you,” said Kevin, who was in the audience during his brother’s monologue. “And also, I have to ask: are we good? Because I see that you are doing a lot of things alone. Are we still a band? ”
“Of course,” Nick replied before performing two singles from his solo album: “Spaceman” and “This Is Heaven.”
“Are you sure? Because I just bought a house,” Kevin asked again.
The band broke up in 2013, thanks to Nick. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas ended up reuniting in 2019 and soon released their fifth album, “Happiness Begins”. Nick’s solo album, “Spaceman,” will be released on March 12th.
Jonas has been the show’s musical guest (sometimes with his siblings) four times. This was the first time he stayed
Jonas added music to the monologue, having Kate McKinnon, Kenan Thompson, Cecily Strong, and Beck Bennett sing “Drink With Me,” a twist on the nostalgic camaraderie song “Le Miserables.” Jonas performed as Marius in the concert of “Les Mis” broadcast in London in 2011 for the 25th anniversary of the play.
