Saturday Night Live has never been predictable.

And it seems upcoming host Tom Hanks was embracing that format as he recorded several eclectic promos with Lady Gaga, and SNL cast members Leslie Jones, 49, and Cecily Strong, 32.

The 60-year-old Hollywood vet, who will be hosting the show for the ninth time, started out in the studio, flanked by Gaga and Cecily for the first clip.

Getting pumped up! Tom Hanks recorded several eclectic promos with Lady Gaga, and SNL cast members Leslie Jones and Cecily Strong

Tom starts by introducing himself and Gaga as the host and musical guest, respectively.

Cecily then interjects: 'Which one of you is the movie star, and which is the glam rocker?'

Hilariously, both Tom and Gaga reply, 'I am the glam rocker' simultaneously, despite Gaga wearing an over-the-top ruffled sleeve number with a black lace bodice covering her cleavage.

‘Oh you mean professionally, not privately’ clarifies Tom, before adding ‘I’m the movie star.’

Normal so far: Tom starts by introducing himself and Gaga as the host and musical guest, respectively

Really? Hilariously, both Tom and Gaga reply, 'I am the glam rocker' simultaneously, despite Gaga wearing an over-the-top ruffled sleeve number with a black lace bodice covering her cleavage

In the next short promo, Tom again is flanked by the two women, though this time Cecily interrupts Tom's intro, reminding him that ‘Gaga is actually going by Joanne now.’

Mother Monster jumps in to defend him, saying 'no Gaga's fine,' but Cecily goes off in her own direction, declaring 'but also I’m going by an alias now too. Please call me Tor.'

Tom apparently then wants in on the action, adding 'And I’m cubby!’ before reminding fans to ‘tune in SNL for Joanne, Tor and Cubby!’

Let's try again: In the next short promo, Tom again is flanked by the two women, though this time Cecily interrupts Tom's intro, reminding him that ‘Gaga is actually going by Joanne now’

No problem: Mother Monster jumps in to defend him, saying 'no Gaga's fine,' but Cecily goes off in her own direction, declaring 'but also I’m going by an alias now too. Please call me Tor'

For the final short segment, Tom joins Leslie on a leafy rooftop deck, with each enjoying a lounge chair.

Their first interaction consists of an urgent question from the Ghostbusters star.

‘Tom, what is outer space like,’ she starts, prompting Tom to respond 'Leslie, I don’t know, I was just acting.’

New identities: Tom apparently then wants in on the action, adding 'And I’m cubby!’ before reminding fans to ‘tune in SNL for Joanne, Tor and Cubby!’

'You need to tell me what outer space is like’ she persists.

'Cold' he replies, with Leslie affirming 'I knew it.'

The next vignette dabbles in a bit of subversive comedy, with Leslie starting 'Tom, you have been blasted into space, shipwrecked on a desert island and sat on a bench.'

Enjoying autumn? For the final short segment, Tom joins Leslie on a leafy rooftop deck, with each seated in a lounge chair

Urgent request: ‘Tom, what is outer space like,’ she starts, prompting Tom to respond 'Leslie, I don’t know, I was just acting’

'Indeed I have' he agrees, eliciting the next question 'Yes but have you ever been in love?'

'Yeah, I've been married for 28 years,' says Tom comfortably. 'That was not the question Tom Hanks,' follows up Leslie, as she seductively puts on some lipstick.

Their final mini skit begins with Tom and Leslie lounging with what appear to be mimosas.

On the market? 'Yeah, I've been married for 28 years,' says Tom comfortably. 'That was not the question Tom Hanks,' follows up Leslie, as she seductively puts on some lipstick

'I didn’t even know there was a roof garden up here,' says Tom, as Leslie brags 'well stick with me because I got the hookup.'

Then Tom's attention is drawn off screen, which prompts some urgent questions from the Castaway star 'Are those security guards coming over here? We’re not allowed to be up here are we?'

'Nope' admits Leslie. 'So we should run now' asks Tom, which spurs both of them to start running with their drinks as Tom announces the information for the show.
