We will have to wait and see whether Jonas will continue the recent tradition of hosts leaving an encouraging message on a Post-It for the following week’s host.
Just before the Jonas Brothers star took to the SNL stage on February 27, he confirmed he got a sweet message from last week’s host Regé-Jean Page.
Jonas, 28, took a mirror selfie of himself standing next to the yellow note from the Bridgerton actor.
‘Just have the BEST time Nick! Rege X,’ Page wrote in his message to the singer and actor.
Along with showing off the note, Jonas wrote in response, ‘That’s the plan! Thanks for the note @regepage,’ along with the muscle emoji in his Instagram Story post.
