What Do Fans Think Of Oscar Isaac's First Time Hosting 'Saturday Night Live'?
By Kristin Myers on March 6, 2022 at 3:00 PM EST
Actor Oscar Isaac just hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the first time.
After appearing as Poe Dameron in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, Oscar Isaac later appeared in “Dune” and will now star as “Moon Knight” in the Disney+ live-action comic book adaption, which hits Disney+ on March 30.
During his opening monologue, Isaac revealed his “total commitment” to his craft by showing off some home videos that he made at a young age, which included him licking fake blood off a prop sword. The series of clips were met by cheers from the entire audience.

“Now you may be asking, Oscar, why are you using your monologue to show us old home videos? And the reason is, it’s important to encourage kids to be weirdos,” Isaac said during his monologue. “Because every once in a while, one of those weirdos grows up to host SNL.”
Someone off-stage handed him a fake sword covered with fake blood, which Isaac then licked for a cheering audience.
Fans Are ‘Over The Moon’ With His SNL Monologue!
“Love that ending part,” one fan wrote. “Everyone should always embrace their weirdness.”
“This monologue was great!” another added.
“So many of the monologists use the chance to talk about nothing but themselves, maybe True here also but also this is my favorite one in many years of watching the show,” another commented.
“He has it all, handsome, charming, talented, and funny,” another wrote. “It’s important to encourage kids to be weirdos - truer words were never spoken.”
“This man is crushing it! Had no idea he was this funny,” another commented.
“What a great opening monologue!” said another. “I'd love to see him back on SNL.”
“He’s so charming,” another added. “Can’t wait to see him in Moon Knight.”
“That video of Oscar Isaac when he was 10 was priceless,” another wrote. “Crazy what he did with that sword. He really got into his part.”
