Well, you're in luck my friend. Adam Driver and Matt Damon are starring in a movie set during Medieval France called "The Last Duel" directed by Ridley Scott.

I always hoped that Mel Brooks would make a Braveheart parody one day. This would be perfect, if Brooks did this, with Adam Driver as the William Wallace character.

He doesn't sound like he's reading a card. He's into the character and is using something called 'acting'. This was an excellent skit.

[@elsonlam]

It depends on their schedules. A lot of these hosts are there because they needed visibility. In many cases, the studio scheduled it for them. I remember watching the clip of when Andrew Garfield hosted. It was so obvious that he read cue card it became distracting. I looked it up. He hosted SNL on May 3rd, 2014. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out on May 2nd, 2014. So he probably spent all week flying everywhere promoting the movie. No time to rehearse or even read his lines. Probably had no sleep either. This Medieval Times skit was done on Jan 25th, 2020. That was 2-3 weeks before the Academy Awards, where Adam Driver was nominated for best actor. So, it's different. Andrew Garfield (or most hosts) needed to get as many people into theaters as possible so he spread himself thin. Adam Driver was trying to get a small number of people to give him an acting award so he needed to be on top of his game.

[@JS-ri8qc]

it's all the knowledge he gained from that community college class

[@soytonioful]

Are you listening to Sempi10? It's called "acting", damn your eyes! 😡

[@disturbedpyro4511]

When you host SNL you actually write and come up with all the ideas for skits for that episode. The creative team helps them write a script and plot for whatever they create. It’s actually pretty cool. So I’m sure Adam knew exactly what he was going to say. It’s also much funnier because you know he came up with it on his own so he’s more comfortable as the characters in that episode

[@kitsunefire1]

Acting? Didn't you hear him? He's the Red and Yellow Knight, who's family was murdered by this bloated bastard king. How dare you belittle this man's trauma! 🤣
