Funny, charming, and adorable, Marcello Hernández is utterly captivating in his monologues. He proved as much during his first “Weekend Update” appearance on Saturday Night Live, in October 2022, as well as in Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore sequel and a Bad Bunny music video. His debut Netflix special, American Boy, is no exception. Hernández draws on his Latino roots—a wellspring of material—for clever stand-up that plays to all audiences. —Carolina de Armas
