With SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk set to hostSaturday Night Live (SNL)this weekend, the late-night television show has released a briefteaser on YouTubeahead of his appearance.

In it, Musk, clad in all black, is flanked by singer Miley Cyrus andSNLcast member Cecily Strong.

"Hi, I'm Elon Musk, and I'm hostingSNLthis weekend with musical guest Miley Cyrus," Musk says. "And I'm a wild card, so there's no telling what I might do."

When Cyrus echoes his comments, Strong is quick to remind them that their upcoming episode has a special significance.

"It's also a Mother's Day show, so your moms are going to be here," Strong says.

Cyrus and Musk react with a level of disappointment before Musk says, "Fine, we'll be good-ish."

The teaser then jumps to another introduction by Musk, who tells Cyrus that SpaceX just completed a successful rocket launch this past week. Feeling unaccomplished, Strong replies by saying, "Wow, well, I did my laundry. Actually, no, I didn't."

Musk's upcoming appearance on the show comes as Dogecoin — a cryptocurrency that he has fervently championed —reached a record highthis week. On Wednesday morning, the digital currency surged over 38% and hit a high of $0.69. Some believe that the spike could continue should Musk decide to mention Dogecoin onSNL. Doing so would give the cryptocurrencymajor exposure to a wide audience.
