Marcello Hernández leads first Spanish-language comedy show at Hollywood Bowl

When Marcello Hernández speaks, his voice takes ebullient leaps and bounds. He tells jokes with the same musical cadence of the Caribbean songs his parents raised him on; classics by Juan Luis Guerra, Celia Cruz and Tito El Bambino. “My dad is like a funny little Dominican guy and then my Cuban mom is this larger-than-life kind of figure,” explains the 28-year-old stand-up comic. “Watching them all be funny in their own little way was important to me,” he adds. In his 2026 Netflix stand-up comedy special, “American Boy,” Hernández painted a riotous picture of his youth in Miami, where he grew up playing soccer and eventually starred in comedic videos for the city’s beloved social media page, Only in Dade. In 2022, he joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live,” weaving his excitable Spanglish flow into recurring sketches like “Domingo” (which co-starred Sabrina Carpenter) and his English-language spoof of the Latin American variety show “Sabado Gigante.” In sketches like “Protective Mom” — partly inspired by his own aggressively doting mother — he’s tag teamed …

Bad Bunny bagged six Grammy nods, a Spanish-language breakthrough – then the world’s biggest halftime stage

Bad Bunny bagged six Grammy nods, a Spanish-language breakthrough – then the world’s biggest halftime stage

Published by Sam Flores

Only 10 years ago, Bad Bunny worked bagging groceries – a shocking contrast with the cosmic fame the artist now commands. But his bestselling albums, last year’s monumental concert residency in Puerto Rico and an endless string of smashed records are somehow just the beginning. On Sunday, the artist born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio could make Grammys history. Then a week later, he will take the world’s most visible stage as the Super Bowl’s halftime performer. Bad Bunny is in the running for six prizes at the Grammy Awards, including the night’s most prestigious Album of the Year gramophone. His acclaimed Debi Tirar Mas Fotos is just the second Spanish-language record ever nominated for the most coveted Grammy – the first was also his, when Un Verano Sin Ti was tipped in 2022. A win would be historic.
