John Krasinski kicked off the first Saturday Night Live of 2021 tries to get past its reputation as The officesee Jim.
While the role in the NBC comedy launched Krasinski in a star position, he seems to have followed him all the way to the Studio 8H stage, where he made his debut as a host. He began his first monologue thanks to his debut – until he was interrupted by Alex Moffat, who called Krasinski ‘Jim’ and asked about his relationship with ‘Pam’ (Jenna Fischer).
The references to the want-them-or-not-them-romance of The office continued during the opening monologue, with other SNL members asking questions about the television couple. Ego Nwodim did not have much of the question, but rather said, “Jim, you look different.”
“You have to stop it, Jim is soft,” Nwodim replied to the actor, saying he worked Jack Ryan. “When you touch Jim, your hand goes in like a memory foam.”
Dominated by other questions about Jim and Pam, Krasinski found a business in Pete Davidson, which explains the peculiar obsession of his cast over the couple.
‘I’m sorry about this, I think everyone has been beaten inside for a year The office non-stop, ”Davidson said.
When Kenan Thompson asks if Davidson is Pam, the SNL star says it’s worth giving the audience what they want – a kiss between Jim and Pam. The Davidson and Krasinski, who are interested in the increasing demands, share it.
“Kiss Pam, kiss Pam,” sing Moffat, Thompson and Nwodim.
Machine Gun Kelly was a musical guest for the Saturday night episode.
