Daniel Craig accompanied by The Weeknd for SNL

This is not the first time Daniel Craig has hosted SNL. He was first seen hosting the show during the promotional activities of his previous Bond film Skyfall. Craig made his hosting debut in October 2012 and has yet again done the same for his recent James Bond film. The film, No Time To Die has also been trending since the makers have finalised to postpone its release date.

No Time To Die release postponed

The makers have decided to delay the film’s release, and will now hit the screens in November 2020. This might cost the producers a lot as they had already kickstarted their massive promotional campaign for the film. A news publishing house has claimed that the makers might end up paying for the delay in release and by the end, the loss would be close to about $50 million. This was a necessary step taken by the makers as the epidemic has affected China, Italy, leaving the rest of Europe, in a state of danger.
