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

[@angela_aubrams]

Accurate hahaha

[@anefje4266]

Evey Aspaas by Finnick haha

Lol true

[@adamchmilo5863]

Pretty accurate

@Allison Gargiulo Yes I do know haha.

[@user-hl9ww3ml2m]

“It’s a book?” Easily the best joke in this

[@nazzy_smile1077]

No IT'S real

[@ashlymariemusic]

????????? Yeah and it‘s really good. All three of them are really good

[@user-hl9ww3ml2m]

Ashly Davis ikr I love them so much

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💟👌

[@the.blur.]

you ever see him in that hulu original FutureMan

[@bellathesilliest]

@@the.blur.the chair scene is scary

[@alexisgraham8207]

'Well on the bright side I'll probably get more stage tim-" "I volunteer " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alicelu5691]

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.

[@sknmc35]

She does an awsome effie trinket

[@CJGloria]

sumant plus she kind of looks like Elizabeth Banks

[@Kickballkixcereal]

She looks a lot like Elizabeth banks

[@kaitasun]

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

[@milkyways13343]

bill hadish

[@vedakv2096]

Ikr?

[@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

[@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

[@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]

Ikr

[@bryana50cents16]

You want a cookie?

[@Taburetka2000]

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

[@tuyetnhitran4342]

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

[@kels95]

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

[@ILLLIKECASTLe]

hahahaha same!

[@andi.lexzara]

MEEEEEEEE GIRL ME 🤣🤣🤣

[@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!!!

[@MissCraziiBabie]

Josh: "its a book? huh" lolol

[@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.

[@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.

[@alisky8551]

oh god Cecily IS Strong !!!

[@ariamarchand3480]

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

[@tharindu_dilanjana_music]

wow cecily is strong

[@sknmc35]

Ofcourse.. thats her last name!

[@michaelrenthlei6190]

sumant you must be fun at parties

[@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 😂😂

[@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

[@antoniobrajkovic1977]

I just adore Kate McKinnon

[@jasontoddslefttoe]

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

[@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

[@aurorarockets]

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

[@Scuebyruby]

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

[@lizzie_is_alive9056]

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

[@Lil_Grace]

To the people who watched this years ago, the Josh Huterson renaissance is here. -2023

[@tikity-boo6225]

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

[@lynalydia315]

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

[@kirankumbhar8605]

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

[@tomfurness3109]

His chin is a future batman

[@Mia-wz4xo]

‘It’s a book?’ Well ya don’t say

[@frannievdh6006]

Imagine being able to say: Yeah no I carried Josh Hutcherson on my back...

[@kaileycastle2319]

I loved Elizabeth Banks but Kate McKinnon as Effie just makes so much sense

[@daydreamlover15]

He was right about the whole immediately gets hurt part. We always joke about that, so it's cool that he brought that up😂
