Glen Powell’s Full Circle SNL Moment Goes Viral<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, several years ago, Glen Powell was supposed to host Saturday Night Live<\/a>, but the appearance never materialized.<\/p>\n

The Running Man star was originally set to host for the release of Top Gun: Maverick<\/a>, but the film was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and his hosting opportunity was lost. “Without Top Gun,” Glen said, quoting SNL<\/a> executive producer Lorne Michaels<\/a>, “no one will know who the eff you are.”<\/p>\n

On Nov. 17, Glen finally made his SNL debut, hosting Episode 6 of Season 51 with Olivia Dean as the musical guest, and his monologue was surprisingly four years in the making.<\/p>\n

During his monologue last night, Glen shared that when he received the call about hosting back then, his family celebrated by taking a selfie with a UPS driver named Mitch, who was delivering a package at the time. They told him to watch the SNL Christmas episode, but it never happened.<\/p>\n

“So I didn’t end up hosting, which means for four years, this UPS driver was just going around saying ‘Glen Powell is a liar,'” Glen said.<\/p>\n

However, Glen’s sisters, Leslie and Lauren, actually tracked down Mitch and flew him out to New York City<\/a> to watch him finally host live. “He thought it was a scam, but he still came,” Glen said. “He’s in the audience tonight. Let’s give it up for Mitch the UPS driver!”<\/p>\n

To celebrate the reunion, Glen and Mitch took another selfie, but this time on the actual SNL stage.<\/p>\n

“I had to wait my entire life plus four years to be here,” Glen said. “But if I have learned anything, it’s that the best things in life don’t happen overnight, and no one knows that better than UPS.”<\/p>\n

The heartwarming moment has since gone viral, and everybody is saying the same things about Glen’s epic SNL monologue, which took four years to successfully execute:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glen Powell’s Full Circle SNL Moment Goes Viral Once upon a time, several years ago, Glen Powell was…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":383614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[171,1933,37656,173,20330,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-383613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-snl","10":"tag-timely","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-tv-shows","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115561047334217293","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
