“I play Peeta, the brave, young hero who immediately gets hurt, and has to be carried around for the rest of the movie”

Alexis Graham anyone wants to sign up for performance degree?....

[@orlandooracle7008]

He made his millions and then disappeared from society. Smart boy.

[@spoyledbratt]

Orlando Oracle And he’ll keep making bank with dividends.

[@ITSMERlVER]

He’d been doing a series on Hulu that didn’t seem very successful.. I don’t know if we can safely assume he disappeared on purpose 😕

[@courtneybarnhill4879]

I actually watched the show and I thought it was great.

[@helciakuras]

Future man on Amazon! Check it out, cleverly funny. Tv really showcases his abilities.

Something similar to Logan Lerman. He's still working, but is not as big as his earlier years suggested he was going to be.

[@JenniferDelRey]

Josh’s face when he realized Cecily could actually hold him😂 Her name is Cecily Strong for a reason!

[@gresho5353]

I know a guy with the surname young and he is 83

[@gresho5353]

Aaron Zimmerman no, it’s just ironic lol

[@RavenclawNimbus]

My simping is strong for her, another coincidence

[@alja343]

He is so charismatic and just so relaxed while performing, it's so attractive

[@tamarklapwijk953]

Just like Peeta😊

[@alja343]

Exactly! Great casting ;)

[@graceknowswhatyoudid3064]

True dat he's cute💟👌

[@Kickballkixcereal]

She looks a lot like Elizabeth banks

[@kaitasun]

when i first saw the Hunger games i thought it was played by kate! lol

[@vedakv2096]

Ikr?

[@NissmahRoshdy]

I think Josh should do theater, it will suit him just like it did with Daniel Radcliffe

[@saternusify]

YES WE DO!

[@tazmeenhoor2960]

“Now you’re gonna have to carry me to the next sketch” GIVE HIM THE SASS TROPHY ALREADY

[@kels95]

Kate at 1:13 is me any time Kate appears in a sketch

[@ILLLIKECASTLe]

[@abbymorrison6857]

ME! I'll just be watching the episode, she'll appear on my screen and I make that sound and throw something in the vicinity

[@ellenr3804]

Kate: this is just something I had lying around the house just I case you hosted. Which you are! AAAAGH!!!

[@tuyetnhitran4342]

"Drinking wine at the kids' table" :vvv so me

[@jackhopkins9337]

I never comment, but I mean Kate's scream at 1:13 was a thing of divine magic. I re-watched it like 6 times

[@gauripande9273]

Josh: "its a book? huh" lolol

[@clclaaraa]

Tharindu Dilanjana either that or Josh is really light

[@gatoman3002]

oh c'mon he's so tiny... he doesn't seem to be heavy at all.

[@graceknowswhatyoudid3064]

Haha I live for the punnnnnnz

[@kbitchkal8765]

Awwwwwwww even Kate and Cecily are taller than him 😂😂😂 josh hutcherson is so cute

[@thankspete7447]

She doesn’t even look like she’s trying when she’s holding him 😂😂

[@Taburetka2000]

Josh makes it all seem so effortless. Such a nice guy and a great actor.

[@alisky8551]

oh god Cecily IS Strong !!!

[@kaileycastle9724]

Can you blow my whistle baby whistle baby

[@antoniobrajkovic1977]

I just adore Kate McKinnon

[@lynalydia315]

Josh's face realizing hunger games was a book 😂😂😂

[@shf500]

I like the look of mild annoyance on Cecily's face when Josh gets on her back. And the look of "let's get this over with" when she walks offstage. I think it adds to the humor in this scene.

[@ariamarchand3480]

omg hahaha at 2:08 josh's trying so hard not to laugh^^ her deep voice and these bow and arrows xD

[@rhettzkie]

I just realized that Keenan's bit with the keys implied he thought it was gonna be a swingers party. LMAO!

[@wittleMermaid13]

Thanks! I had no clue what the key thing was all about, lol.

[@jasontoddslefttoe]

“OW NOW YOU HAVE TO CARRY ME TO THE NEXT SKETCH” that’s me

[@kirankumbhar8605]

I love josh, he is such a cool, relaxed dude.

[@Mia-wz4xo]

‘It’s a book?’ Well ya don’t say

[@ZanetaW]

I love Cecily, never seen her break character but she plays her roles so well, she's down to earth, acknowledges her privilege and such

[@helialamster4002]

3:51 that smile on josh's face is priceless

[@RavenclawNimbus]

That'd be my face from the shock that she could hold him

[@tikity-boo6225]

Kate is a comic genius ... she can play any character

[@99lodewijk]

I heard Josh hutcherson is gonna be a Josh hutcherdad soon

[@brionymorgan6426]

Angela Puchalo HAHA

[@aurorarockets]

So disappointed when I realized it isn't Kate Mckinnon who plays Effie Trinket, but, of course, Elizabeth Banks was fab! :)

[@rubyburks7082]

Lol Kate could be effie's daughter in the new book

[@lizzie_is_alive9056]

⁠@@rubyburks7082except for the fact that the new book is actually a prequel and takes place years before Katniss was born

[@sarahpaty6108]

I miss seeing him on the screen. I love his movies and love his energy.

[@unicornbarfingrainbows7599]

You’re in luck then. He’s gonna be in the fnaf movie.

[@rtaylor7384]

It look like he making a comeback now. I think he been doing future man on TV and other TV stuff. It about time that John appeared in films again. That his place. lol

[@thisisajang]
