Glen Powell's Long-Awaited SNL Moment

Glen Powell finally got his chance to host "Saturday Night Live" after a long wait.

The Unexpected Invitation

It all started when he was told he would host during the Covid-19 pandemic. He shared the news with a UPS driver named Mitch, who was delivering a package. Powell invited Mitch to watch the show, but things didn't go as planned.

The Delay

The release of "Top Gun: Maverick", where Powell plays a key role, was delayed. This meant his hosting gig was also postponed. Powell joked that without the movie, people wouldn't recognize him. It took until spring 2022 for the film to come out, and even longer for Powell to host "SNL".

The Reunion

Powell's sisters found Mitch, and Powell brought him to New York to see the show. During his monologue, Powell proved to Mitch that he wasn't lying. He even invited Mitch on stage for a selfie.

The Lesson

Powell said he had to wait his whole life plus four more years for this moment. He also shared a lesson: good things take time. Powell's journey to hosting "SNL" was not quick, but it was worth the wait.

The show featured Olivia Dean as the musical guest.
