Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, Jason Momoa.
[Jason Momoa comes in the stage from the door. He walks in, jumps on the stage. He is bare feet.
Jason Momoa: Thank you very much, thank you very much. I’m so muscular to be hosting “Saturday Night Live”, huge! It’s such an honor to be on this stage. If you don’t know, I am an ‘SNL’ super nerd, dork. I’ve been watching this my whole entire life. [Applause and cheers]
And there was a time when I actually wanted to quick acting, I wanted to move to New York and try to get cast on ‘SNL’. Fortunately, I got sidetracked by a massively successful career, and I’m playing “Aquaman”. [Applause and cheers]
But now I’m here! And I’m hosting. I mean, this is probably one of the greatest moments of my life, right after having beautiful kids and marrying my red hot smoking wife, Lisa Bonet. Come on, Jase, hold it together. If you cry, it will rain in Hawaii. You know what, if it’s okay, I’m just going to take a second, savor this moment. Eli, if you can play that song I wrote.
[The back of the stage where the band play gets dark. Jason sits down on his knee and smiles as the band plays this song]
“This is my moment, I’m taking into
This is m moment, I’m the strongest man in the world”
[Jason stands]
Okay, great. Thanks, bud. This weekend has been amazing. I was so nervous to meet the cast. But for some reason, they’ve been asking, you know, they’re a little weird.
[Aidy Bryant comes in the stage]
Aidy Bryant: Oh hi, Jason!
Jason Momoa: Hi, Aidy.
Aidy Bryant: Would you mind opening this jar while looking at me directly in the eyes?
Jason Momoa: Sure.
[Jason opens the jar looking at Aidy]
Aidy Bryant: Oh, that’s going to be a big thing. I love you, best day of my life. Thanks you. Bye.
[Kenan Thompson, Leslie Jones and Chris Redd comes to the stage dressed up funky]
Leslie Jones: Alright. We got to impress.
Jason Momoa: Oh, wow, you guys look crazy. Is this for a sketch?
Leslie Jones: I’ll get to that. Let me ask you something, does “Aquaman” have a theme song?
Jason Momoa: I mean, not really. There’s music in the movie but it’s not really a theme.
Leslie Jones: Okay. Alright.
Kenan Thompson: Cool, cool.
Leslie Jones: We had an idea. You ever heard of “Aqua Boogie’ by Parliament Funkadelic?
Jason Momoa: Not really.
Chris Redd: You know, like George Clinton? P-Funk?
Jason Momoa: Nope.
Kenan Thompson: Aqua Boogie, from the 1978 album “Motor Booty Affair”?
Jason Momoa: Sorry, I never heard of it.
Chris Redd, Leslie Jones and Kenan Thompson: What? [Acting surprised]
Leslie Jones: It’s perfect for “Aquaman”. Check this out.
[Band starts playing music.Chris Redd, Leslie Jones and Kenan Thompson start dancing and singing]
Aqua boogie baby,
Never learned to swim
Underwater boogie baby,
Can’t catch the rhythm of the stroke
Aqua boogie baby,
Why should I hold my breath
Underwater boogie baby,
Feelin’ that I might choke
Jason Momoa: Whao, hold on, hold on.
Leslie Jones: So, what did you think of that, man?
Jason Momoa: Well, I mean it’s a cool song but did you just say never learnt how to swim?
Leslie Jones: I did. I sure did.
Kenan Thompson: Yeah, that’s how the song goes. You can check the lyrics if you need to.
Jason Momoa: So it’s a song about someone who can’t swim?
Leslie Jones: Absolutely.
Kenan Thompson: No doubt. No doubt.
Jason Momoa: Well, I’m Aquaman. His whole thing is he can swim really well.
Chris Redd, Leslie Jones and Kenan Thompson: Oh! [Realizing about the movie theme]
Leslie Jones: Yeah man, but this is about the feeling man! You got to give it a try. You know what I’m saying? Just read what’s on the cue card!
Kenan Thompson: Yeah, come on, man.
Leslie Jones: Come on, man.
Jason Momoa: Okay.
Kenan Thompson: Put that glass in, dog.
