When he was 19, he tried the whole move to Hollywood penniless to try and make it as an actor. After failing miserably with that, and having to move back home (embarrassed from his failure, and with no direction or plans for his life) he decided to join the Marines along with many of his high school buddies. He fell in love with it, and made many friends due to the camaraderie. But before he was to be shipped off to Afghanistan, he suffered injuries which not only kept him from going, but was also discharged from the Marines entirely. Feeling guilty being left behind while his friends went to risk their lives, he returned home. It was then that he decided to try acting again, and this time he got into Julliard. I highly recommend watching his Ted talk about how being a Marine helped him become a better actor. It's not too long, and he's a great storyteller. If you enjoy Adam Driver, you'll enjoy this too!

[@peteralfano4278]

A totally different side of Adam Driver. He has now become one of my favorite actors. Amazing range,

[@redericson1993]

GIVING ADAM DRIVER FREETIME WAS THE BEST THING SNL HAD EVER DONE!! What a way to open up 2020! He is a comical free spirit that is hilarious when dosile and alone. He is the man and he is funny. Adam Driver, you are the man!

[@ZesPak]

He was great in BlacKKlansman as well.

[@redericson1993]

@@ZesPak Fuck yes, the movie was great and he was an amazing supporting role. One of the best I've ever seen, solid, straight forward, got the job done and got his money. Calm, serious, smart and satisfying. Not canny or over dramatic, raw and authentic. Just too good to touch and refreshing as hell.

[@OvSpP]

If you actually watched, he was legit trying to kill time *and it worked.* They didn’t have time to do the last skit. It was 12:56 on Halsey’s second performance. It went off at 1:01.

[@Dai_Kenobi]

Jade Nguyen yeah I realised that 😂 damn I would’ve paid to see that last skit!!!

[@mariogamefreak1]

Jade Nguyen I think it was a joke

[@Nimesay1]

Where's the "Cut for time" vid lol.

[@OvSpP]

mariogamefreak01 well then it became serious 1 hour and 30 minutes later.

[@JeffreyGillespie]

This is one of the most original approaches to the monologue in the history of the show, amazing.

[@lalalallalalallalala]

I honestly couldn’t tell how much was planned and how much was Adam driver being Adam driver and that’s incredible

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

EXACTLY I AGREE

[@ELVIS1975T]

It is planned. All of it... (read with Veteran Han Solo voice)

[@morganrichardson8859]

I laughed more at this than most SNL monologues. Adam is so perfect.

[@brunobb1]

"Hey man, you look like a Star Wars fan -- NO OFFENSE" That's fucking hilarious.

[@FloatingOnAZephyr]

He nailed that. These things usually have a forced air to them as the actor is out of their wheelhouse trying comedy, but Driver makes this looks effortless.

[@GrabEmByTheJoystick]

This man is an incredible actor. Everything he says and does is believable and captivating

[@anannonymouscoverartist]

Agreed!

[@richardcallaway4093]

Adam''s family LOVES YOU AND THANKS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debrh.b]

Have you seen 65 . The movie has him and I think 2 other people in the whole movie but he is so good at it . I liked it .

[@avikash7620]

I've done a movie with Scarlett Johansson so _I've basically kissed Colin Jost_ if you think about it

[@richardcallaway4093]

I would love that part time job! I mean...Really? Yes!

[@josephhodges9819]

​@@richardcallaway4093 Part-time job doing a movie with Scarlett or part-time job kissing Colin Jost?

[@niobiumplums]

@@josephhodges9819 por que no los dos?

[@chelseak.5535]

He needs to host... a lot. I never thought he'd become one of my favorite SNL hosts. From his acting to his timing, he's amazing.

[@richardcallaway4093]

Love you Chelsea....This is Adam's Uncle. I adore him. He's come so so so far. Thanks for your sweet comments!

[@maddiegt8177]

Adam: *exists* Me: gEt tHiS maN sOMe rECOgniTioN

[@braydenkeynon3083]

Adam Driver might be the most underrated man in Hollywood today, this man is golden.

[@stefanellasizzarettia8417]

2:12 Adam: some facts about me, I’m a husband Me,holding back tears: *oh.... i did not know that. Congrats man*

[@nessah.5149]

lmao fr

[@hotdogsanta]

and a fatherrrr

[@reekinator918]

1:35 adam is literally so good at comedic timing that he made the audience laugh just by taking a breath

[@iambear.6526]

You do know they cue the audience to laugh

[@reekinator918]

IAmBear. You know people can genuinely laugh at something right, robot

[@reekinator918]

IAmBear. Dumb bear u dont know anything cause ur a bear

[@kmmmm150]

I could watch him monologue like this for hours with no end goal in sight

[@pwrpffgorl5165]

“Adam from Girls or Kylo Ren from ... the space one”

[@tofy3938]

Forrest Orla Green lmao jokes

[@zw246]

*finishes 10 movies* Agent:" Adam, you're hosting SNL tonight. Have a monologue ready " Adam;" Ok......Nah I'm to tired I'll just talk about random things and the audience will still smile" P.S I totally smiled lmao

[@ShMeatWad]

The funny thing is Bill Hader has said the monologue is the last thing they do so I like to think Lorne was just like “idk figure it out”

[@sydneycastle1682]

I mean he hosted so recently he probably WAS like “dang I already promoted my movies last time, guess I’ll just talk about kissing Colin Jost” lol

[@vitormartins5742]

Something I just realized, Adam Driver does all these sketches on TV (be it Kylo Ren in Undercover Boss, the John Oliver bit, etc.) and it feels real. I don't know if he just has that much talent or if he is just really committed to everything he does. I guess a mix of both.

[@TinaTr84]

"You look like a Star Wars fan, no offense" honestly, where's the lie? 😂❤

[@blackironkatana]

I’m calling it, Adam Driver is one of the best hosts SNL has ever had. I am sad Abraham H Parnassus did not make a epic comeback. 😢

[@2ndRatePetronius]

Next time!

[@mariogamefreak1]

What about edddie Murphy comeback

[@clubluv]

that abraham skit is unreal. one of the best.

[@blackironkatana]

2ndRatePetronius Please god yes!

[@voyager1568]

He’s so effortlessly funny, and I love that. When people get comedy, they get it. And he does. Yet his roles could be literally anything because he’s so damn talented. Love this guy

[@TheRealDeal92]

I seriously did not know he was a father until watching this. I’m stunned that he managed to keep it from public knowledge for as long as he did. All in all I’m so happy to know that he is a dad. Congrats, Adam!!!! He’s awesome! Thanks for uploading. ❤️❤️

[@hoilet6999]

He’s been a dad for 2-3 years.

[@TheRealDeal92]

Hoile T I did not know he was though. I knew he was married however I never knew he was a father until he talks about his son in this moment. I googled it to be sure; stunned to find out that he kept his son more private from the public which I don’t blame him by how some people are these days with actors and actresses. ❤️❤️❤️

[@exoticbutters9867]

He kept it secret as long as possible press still doesn't know his name

[@richardcallaway4093]

It's important to keep things private.....Said Adam's Uncle no one has ever heard of ......LOL

[@mrjjwwjj]

This guy is better than 90% of the current cast

[@InfernosReaper]

To be real, it's pretty low bar. I'm surprised he didn't trip over it while he was carrying the entire episode.

[@Zanenoth]

Well he's Kylo fucking Ren

[@MasDouc]

Try 100% the current cast is downright awful.

[@juannaym8488]

I would rather say 85% but yeah I agree

[@evieskywalker3887]

Blood of Kings6 🤣

[@nicolerovine9110]

I don’t think any of us expected Adam Driver to be one of the best SNL hosts of all time, but here we are!

[@JSDewey]

Adam Driver just gets better and better with age. This monologue’s hilarious.

[@dwightk.schruteiii8454]

Love this guy. Seems like he’s the chillest humblest guy ever.

[@clarissef.1796]

I didn't know I could love him even more. That guy is awesome, I want one

[@austint.4322]

So this is why the show went long...

[@wadebarnett2542]

I wonder if he was serious about making the show long to avoid the sketch he mentioned. Maybe it will be released as "cut for time."

[@yentalin12345]

@@wadebarnett2542 I think it might be true because if you see the closing of the episode some of the cast members appear to be dressed for another sketch that we didn't see happen, like they were just about to do it and then got cut.

[@NateSean]

Or they actually planned for it. Though it would be funny to find out Adam Driver really pulled an Andy Kauffman.

[@ShaunRachel-ux]

This is the best monologue ever.

[@sockdong1544]

Colin jost backstage: "OMG I kissed kylo Ren!!!"

[@caiusallen495]

Ahem, its Ben now

[@Kordia725]

Can this be a lot longer because I could honestly listen to this man for another 5 hours and it would make my day

[@bossyheifer]

I agree!

[@TayRenee2K]

John Mulaney often says that when hosts come on they never fully have the opening monologue finished until the show is 30 mins or less to air. This really shows that off, it also shows that you don’t always need a fully finished monologue😂😂

[@thomaslemos2240]

Honestly I think they gave him a little monologue and he ignored it and did one off improv, based on how the vibe of it feels

[@geeky9707]

SPOILER: There's not a little women, there's a LOT of women!

[@marhineykaye5026]

Too many women. If u count the numerous times they've trotted out this outdated ode to white womanhood. Like white ladies corner the market on resilience, passion, strength and love. Seems to me, a regurgitation of a theme best put to bed. Finally.

[@dellacalfee]

All movies should have a lot of women

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

@ We get it, you hate women

[@schradeya]

He's sooo good. He never breaks, his delivery is flawless. He's amazing!

[@KyrieArchangel92]

How can you not love this man? He's a national treasure!

[@marcelrivera5970]

He's so damn good in this monologue. It could've come off so practiced and fake with the cues to the band and planted person in the audience, but he pulled it off with such charm it all seems completely improvised. Especially when he sits or re-enters screen after interaction with the fan. His subtleties make him stand apart.
