Elizabeth Banks Says ‘Hunger Games’ Would Kill Kenan Thompson ‘Immediately’ in ‘SNL’ Promos (Video)

“Pitch Perfect” actress practices her trust falls with — or without — the “Saturday Night Live” veteran

SNL Promo

Elizabeth Banks is thrilled to be a guest on Kenan Thompson‘s “Saturday Night Live,” but the actress doesn’t think he’d fare too well on her “Hunger Games” turf.

In a new promo for Banks’ upcoming turn as host, Thompson asked the actress if she thinks he’d compete strongly in an actual Hunger Games-style event, to which Saturday’s host assured the actor that he “would die almost immediately.”

“I’m sure of it,” she added. Thompson appreciated the candor.

Later, she offended Kenan would an un-inclusive promo take. The two enjoy a fun hair-play-on-words next, before jumping into a one-sided trust fall, which goes horribly wrong.

Disclosure is this weekend’s musical guest. Last Saturday, the Donald Trump-hosted “SNL” episode handed the NBC sketch comedy staple its biggest audience since 2012, per preliminary Nielsen ratings.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2” will be drafted into theaters on Nov. 20.
