Hunger Games: Catching Fire star Josh Hutcherson is currently preparing to host Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest Haim. A new promo video has been released to tease fans for the show.

In the clip, which includes many different apparent takes for the promo, Hutcherson gets "punched" in the face for being 21, which looks pretty realistic, actually. The hilarious cast member, Bobby Moynihan, gives the Catching Fire start a bit of a hard time with jokes about the new movie, and we find out that Hutcherson supposedly worked in an ice cream parlor for one summer.

Some intentionally ridiculous CGI fire flames show up in the clip as well, another jab at the movie. Hutcherson gives a fake spoiler from the film, claiming that everyone dies at the end, and Moynihan conducts a quick SNL initiation.

Hopefully Hutcherson's appearance on the shows get better reception than Jennifer Lawrence got when she hosted back in January, despite the fact that she has been coined one of the funnier young female stars because of the comments she makes to the press.

Entertainment Weekly wrote about her episode:

"Anyone who's ever giggled at a gif of Jennifer Lawrence joking around predicted that the two-time Oscar nominee would tear up SNL last night. Unfortunately, the show itself didn't quite live up to those lofty hopes. Lawrence herself got better and better as the episode progressed, shedding the nervousness that seemed to plague her during her opening monologue. But the material she was given didn't follow the same arc - especially the weak sketches that followed a curiously shortened Weekend Update."

Watch the promo for Hutcherson's episode below. It could end up being pretty funny. At least Bobby Moynihan will be funny.
