"It's not everyday you get a movie that's loved by both the military community and the gay community" SO true

[@karenm.2185]

This guy is so underrated. He is so talented and I wish the best for him.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

He’s got nowhere to go but up in this business.

[@shoemop]

I am so happy he is getting the recognition he deserves. He was remarkable in Whiplash.

[@Demitrival]

No longer underrated

[@Victoriaward]

Cannot wait to see him win an Oscar

[@prosto_astros]

Agree. I still don't know, why Academy don't give him to nomination for his performance in "Whiplash".

“My piano instructor was JK Simmons” I’m so glad I understood that reference!😂

His voice is wayyy deeper than it was on Whiplash.

@@PsychoBenches hope it isn't alcohol. He's been looking a tiny bit red and bloated in his newer interviews.

He was 23 when he filmed Whiplash. He’s now 35, it’s called aging.

This not only marks Kenan's 20th season but it also marks the 20th season they have used the Grand Central Terminal set. Because they both debuted in Season 29 in 2003. And I just realized that Cecily Strong wasn't in the intro so that probably makes it 9.

I'm glad they are still letting the hosts have their own monologues rather than being in the background. Miles did a great job here.

[@Andy-bh8hw]

When did the hosts not have monologues?

[@kengeorgejones6855]

@@Andy-bh8hw Many times the host just says a few lines then the rest turns over to guest stars or cast members.

[@douglass1221]

Yea, kinda weird comment.

[@Allagi22]

I don't think you understand how SNL monologues work. The host ALWAYS has one. The monologue is always written by the SNL writers unless the host is a stand up comedian/returning SNL writer who chooses to write their own (See John Mulaney, Louis CK, Dave Chappelle, Aziz Ansari) the host monologue regardless of lines or whether it's a bit with other cast members, is an integral part of the show and literally has happened for every SNL host and SNL show ever.

[@Allagi22]

@@kengeorgejones6855 That's still the host monologue as written by the SNL writers as 99% of SNL host monologues are. If you think every SNL host that has a good solo monologue is freestyling out there, saying their own jokes and material, you are very much so mistaken.

[@sharonshin4574]

Miles Teller did an AWESOME job on SNL!! He was hilarious.

[@gjhoward]

Miles is a fantastic actor. His dialogue delivery is always top notch.

I hadn't heard of Miles Teller until Top Gun;Maverick, which was a fantastic movie. He was perfectly cast as Goose's son! Very talented. I'll look for him in more movies and shows now. I've watched SNL since the first season, when I was a young teenager
