Last night, J.J. Watt became the first NFL player since Eli Manning in 2012 to host “Saturday Night Live”.
No offense to Eli, but Watt crushed it much more.
Most of the skits were crisp and clever and he didn’t seem to miss a line — except for maybe his Texans’ defensive one and his offensive one as he pined about missing out on not being in this year’s Super Bowl.
“Would I really trade hosting SNL for the Super Bowl? … Yes, I definitely would.”
His opening monologue was a sweet shoutout to his family, especially his mother, as seen here:
