Driver didn’t talk about Star Wars too much during the monologue but in a bit where he sat next an audience member, he supposedly gave him a signed Kylo Ren action figure to prove that he is approachable and not as serious as many think.
Then he told the audience member, “If I find that on eBay, I’ll kill you.”
Driver started the episode by taking part in the cold open as convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in Hell.
In the biggest nod to Star Wars, Driver appeared in an another Undercover Boss special ‘Where are they now?’ Driver appeared as Randy the intern, but still as Kylo Ren. While it wasn’t as funny as the first go around, he did provide a few decent laughs.
This is Driver’s third time hosting SNL — the first time he hosted in 2016, he appeared as Kylo Ren in the skit Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base.
SNL poked fun at Driver’s Undercover Boss skit in a tweet posted hours before the episode began.
“We, too, heard Kylo Ren was shredded and has an eight pack,” the show tweeted along with a video clip of Driver as Matt … er, Kylo.
