Second Marcello Hernández Show Added at Pala Casino Following Sellout

Pala, CA, August 05, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Following the sellout of his original August 28 performance, Saturday Night Live breakout star Marcello Hernández has added a second show at Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort. Both performances will be held in the resort's Event Center, with the original performance beginning at 7:30 p.m. and the newly added performance beginning at 9:30 p.m.

Currently a cast member on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, Hernández has quickly become one of the show’s most recognizable performers through fan-favorite sketches including “Protective Mom,” “Immigrant Dad Talk Show,” the wildly popular “Domingo” series, and his regular appearances on “Weekend Update.” His sharp observational comedy and energetic storytelling have made him one of entertainment’s most sought-after young comedians.

In 2025, Hernández was recognized by TIME as one of the year’s Latino Leaders, named to The Hollywood Reporter’s Latin Power List and earned a Webby Award for Outstanding Comedy Performance for his work on Saturday Night Live. He was also selected as one of Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood honorees.

His debut Netflix comedy special, American Boy, premiered in January 2026 and quickly climbed into Netflix’s Top 10, earning praise for its humorous and relatable stories about family, culture and identity. Hernández also recently appeared in Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 and will next star alongside Kevin Hart in the upcoming comedy 72 Hours.

“The response to Marcello's first show has been incredible,” said Simon Farmer, Executive Director of Marketing for Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort. “Selling out so quickly speaks to just how rapidly he's become one of comedy's biggest stars. We're excited to add a second performance and welcome even more guests for what promises to be a fantastic night of comedy.”

Tickets for the newly added 9:30 p.m. performance are on sale now at palacasino.com. The original performance will begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by the newly added 9:30 p.m. show. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to attend.
