Kieran Culkin Monologue - SNL

[@miajohnson4025]

Him as a child asking to be picked up because he wasn’t getting as much attention is the most Roman Roy thing I’ve ever heard

[@amityislandchum]

Macauley, Rory, and Kieran have all been superstars in different decades... And Kenan Thompson has been there for it all.

[@Sharpe1502]

Kieran has been around since Home Alone.

[@SDXStudio]

I came her to comment that i haven't seen the ending but im going to watch it on demand, and they BETTER fucking pick him up. I'm glad they did.

[@MsHunterRRHS]

What an absolute sweetheart. He is understandably a little jittery/nervous and obviously excited to be hosting, which shows how much he cares. Then at the end of the monologue he throws an air kiss to his wife and mouths "I love you." Adore his energy. His vibe and comedic timing are a perfect match for SNL; what a great pick for a host. Also, WATCH SUCCESSION! He is amazing in it, and the series as a whole is just expertly cast. Side note: HBO Max also has Igby Goes Down currently available. It was the first movie that I saw him in. His innate snark is wonderful in it.

[@BlasianBobbi215]

My husband and I are halfway through season 2 right now, at the part where PGM backed out because of the Cruise scandal. And I’m desperately trying to fight off the urge to google if something more happens between Roman and Gerri. She’s the only one who “gets” him, but my husband swears they wouldn’t do that, it would be weird.

[@irmacello]

I just watched Igby goes down...GREAT MOVIE... he is such a great actor as well! Omg... I am like eager to watch more of his movies little by little. And today I juat finished Succession... KIERAN IS AWESOME!

[@dreamerfishb]

This was a surprisingly wholesome monologue and episode. Would love to see more of this honestly.

[@greens294]

Something about him calling his brother "Mac" is super endearing to me

[@alanmorris7669]

Kieran looks more like an all grownup Macaulay than Macaulay himself.

[@alexisvaracolacci2793]

[@manuelacassuto]

I love how natural this monologue was.

[@coolboss999]

You can tell that Kieran was really nervous here by his body language. He kept moving his hands and arms behind his head during the beginning but he still killed the monologue!

[@joannajamerson35]

He is very very very very cute

[@no_peace]

Some people just move like that

[@CT-yz9nx]

It’s hard to tell because everytime I see him he is always moving like that. It might just be him. His whole vibe is awkward/cute

[@JeanPaulBeaubier]

He also had a noticeable tremble in his voice (I get it when I'm nervous as well). Glad he pushed through it 😆

[@NunayoBisnez]

He seems to always be like that lol

[@jedhawkins1769]

First, Macaulay Culkin hosted back in the 90s' during the time of Home Alone. Now, his little brother Kieran Culkin has hosted SNL from his own show, Succession. Great family legacy for the SNL history books!

[@jacquiedls]

@@theponickingdom2836 Well the "job" in question, hosting SNL, is one that requires you to be an ultra famous star so it's not like he's taking a job opportunity away from struggling connection-less applicants. anyway, he got chosen to host SNL because of his two-time Emmy-nominated role playing the most charismatic character in Succession, one of the most talked about shows of the moment. It makes sense to have him host.

[@TeeteringTod]

Kieran is aging so gracefully. I dare say he looks better in his 30s than he did in Scott Pilgrim.

[@loveforeignaccents]

I was thinking is this guy even old enough to be having his second kid... I thought he was about 19 or 20.

Kieran Culkin did a very good job hosting SNL. He had been on the stage when he was 9 years old and his brother Macaulay Culkin hosted the show back on November 23, 1991, 30 years ago. Also in the goodnights, he got the uppies again by Chris Redd and Kenan Thompson. You're the man. 👏👏👏🏻👏🏻😄😄🤣🤣

[@mayadrumwright4717]

He hosted the show literally THE DAY before Freddie Mercury died das weird as shit 🤣🤣🤣 like a trivia fact or something

They have always looked exceptionally similar. Even during Mack's trouble years

[@lau_sol24]

Macaulay and Kieran are brothers

[@shelbyherring92]

The Culkin siblings perhaps have some of the strongest familial resemblance compared to most celebrity siblings. And that's counting the Baldwins, the Olsens, and the Hemsworths.

[@steffnic13]

Kieran is Roman Roy. He must just ad lib so much during taping Succession. He’s hysterical.

[@steffnic13]

Well he definitely ad libbed when he made the “you wish” comment to Shiv as the comeback to her date rape comment. Still laugh that they kept that in. And I’m pretty sure his comment to Logan in the premier this season on the tarmac after Logan tells Roman to suck his d^ck was ad libbed.

[@canaisyoung3601]

It was season 17. The musical guest was this band called Tin Machine. The episode before it was hosted by Linda Hamilton (who was in the second Terminator movie) with musical guest Mariah Carey and the episode after it had MC Hammer as host and musical guest (with special appearances by Christina Ricci and Jimmy Workman as Wednesday and Pugsley Addams from the live-action Addams Family movies they had at the time). The three sketches Kieran was on as a child were "The 'Makin' Copies' Guy as a Kid", "The Chicago Superfans Thanksgiving Special", and this one-shot sketch where Chris Farley plays a medieval scalder teaching his son how to pour boiling oil on castle invaders. Of the three, the Superfans one is the problematic sketch because it had Kieran dressed as a Native American and smoking a peace pipe. And if you want to see the actual episode, it's available on Peacock.

[@lisamelroy2855]

He's grown up into a handsome young man. The first thing I remember seeing him in was "The Mighty." Great movie, and I *still* sob like a baby at the end!
