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.
