Billie Eilish Plays Beetlejuice With Michael Keaton in ‘Saturday Night Live’ Promo: Watch
Saturday Night Live‘s Chloe Fineman may have just figured out a way to conjure Billie Eilish at any time that fans are definitely going to want to try at home.
In a promo video for this weekend’s Michael Keaton-hosted episode posted Thursday (Oct. 17), the comedian stands with the actor and says, “I loved Beetlejuice, and I think the stuff in the movie really works.”

Fineman then demonstrates by saying “Billie Eilish” three times, an homage to the 1988 film and 2024 sequel. After the incantation, the nine-time Grammy winner — who is slated to perform on SNL as musical guest Saturday (Oct. 19) — appears out of nowhere with an explosive poof.
“Hey, guys,” she says casually to a startled Keaton and Fineman.
Elsewhere in the video, Fineman tells the Batman star and Eilish that she hopes there will be “some spooky sketches for Halloween” on this week’s episode of SNL, which won’t pick up again until Nov. 2 with John Mulaney and Chappell Roan serving as host and musical guest, respectively. In response, the “Bad Guy” singer gives a half-hearted “Boo!” — which makes Fineman scream bloody murder.
“No, don’t ever do that to me again,” the comedian then scolds, making Eilish laugh.
The “What Was I Made For?” musician previously performed on SNL in 2019 and 2023, pulling double duty in 2021 as host and musical guest. Her upcoming appearance with Keaton follows last week’s Ariana Grande-hosted episode, which featured live performances from Stevie Nicks.
