Brendan Gleeson had a special guest on his 'SNL' opening monologue -- Colin Farrell!

[Harry Potter films](https://hollywoodlife.com/feature/harry-potter-tv-show-4602417/) has played in his life — admitting that he’s not recognized as much due to the unique look of his character. Alastar Moody is known in the Wizarding World as a “pure blood wizard” — meaning both parents are also of magical blood. “I’m that fella you think you saw me in that thing that you can’t remember that you think you kinda liked,” he said to the audience.

Brendan Gleeson will join a prestigious list of Irish stars who have hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend when he'll learn the art of sketch comedy.

The sketch where she teaches Kyle Mooney how to race shows that she deserves a second shot at the show in the future. At this point in his career, Neeson was known for serious roles and a bit away from appearing in comedies such as A Million Ways to Die in the West. His talents are best displayed in 30 Years of Washing Windows as a news report presenting from a scaffolding high in the sky. Beyonce at the beginning of her career performed in the nostalgic episode with Destiny's Child. Byrne turns the monologue on its head when he calls out how Americans treat Irish people as a potato and a bottle of whisky dance behind him. As expected the SNL crew had the fiddles and tin whistles ready for his wholesome monologue which reflects on his pride of being Irish.

Harry Potter and Paddington star [Brendan Gleeson](/category/brendan-gleeson/) [is set to host tonight's new episode of the series](https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/saturday-night-live-host-brendan-gleeson-what-paddington-bear-really-like/). [Saturday Night Live](/category/saturday-night-live/) [officially kicked off its 48th season of bringing laughs to American households last week](https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/saturday-night-live-jon-hamm-manningcast-parody/) and once again, tonight, Saturday, October 8th, there's another new episode of SNL set to air in just a few hours.

Saturday Night Live returns tonight with another episode and another first-time host. So who should SNL fans expect to see tonight on NBC?

He’s excelled in black comedies such as In Bruges and the upcoming Banshees of Inisherin. However, SNL usually has a surprise or two when it comes to hosts, and Brendan Gleeson is the first surprise of season 48. Gleeson is out promoting his new black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin.

“Speaking of weird and wonderful,” Gleeson said, he brought out surprise guest Colin Farrell, who was wearing a cartoonishly large mustache. Farrell needled ...

Gleeson cut short his own rambling (“I’m not really used to telling jokes”) and asked for a mandolin to serenade Studio 8-H with the first song he ever learned — a tune by tenor banjo musician Barney McKenna of the Irish folk band, the Dubliners. “You’ve probably seen me in Braveheart,” he continued. “You’ve possibly seen me in Harry Potter,” he said to a thrum of applause.

Brendan Gleeson hosted Saturday Night Live and was saved by his The Banshees of Inisherin costar after a rough start to a lackluster monologue.

Brendan Gleeson SNL Sketches Ranked: Colin Farrell Crashes, Try Guys Cry, New Cast Shines · "Saturday Night Live" takes shots at everything from Biden's mental ...

By the end of the piece, she had the audience in the palm of her hands, too, which is a testament to her character work. This was a brilliant takedown of the fact that the Try Guys scandal actually made it into the mainstream media, by taking it all the way to "Breaking News" status on CNN. Normally, we look at someone who was an all-around asset to the broadcast, which means its a combination of volume and quality appearances. Chloe Fineman continues to be rock solid in holding down the fort, while Mikey Day remains the rock of many sketches (even though he did crack tonight) and Kenan just does what Kenan does best. She's trying to get head of the inevitable scandals coming her way, like the fact that she's pro-Sea World, and supported the war in Iraq because she wanted revenge for 9/11, and she was responsible for the BP oil spill. The ending of the sketch was a colossal disappointment, but we definitely enjoyed the ladies trashing them through the negative mail and Chloe-as-Marilyn's responses to that. Historically, each "SNL" cast has an identity of its own, a sense of humor and a style that is unique to their time and to the makeup of the cast. The snap reactions weren't all that great, but we both loved and were deeply saddened by all the truth in this segment. At the beginning, we kind of liked the idea of Brendan Gleeson as a grandfather "discovered" by a photographer accidentally when his grandson, Michael Longfellow, shows up for his headshots. We wrap up with a look at the cast-member who had the strongest week. [Cecily Strong](http://toofab.com/tags/cecilystrong) remains absent from the episodes and opening credits, but she is still part of the show and will return. The premiere was definitely rocky at times, but it feels like this new group makeup is starting to find its identity.

However, his pals were shocked and asked if their friendship was ever real to begin with. Her co-workers calmly sat by as she tried to make her way out of the room, and crashed into a large water bottle. She became upset when no one commented on her new look, but when asked why she got new eyes, the actress went into a long rant. ahead of a battle Following their short skit, the actors gave each other a quick hug. Brenden explained that it was all real and the next scene recreated the famous clip from The Perks Of Being A Wallflower standing on the back of a truck in a dimly lit tunnel. Who's your favorite human co-star, who's Irish and he's about 46, and his name starts with a C?' Brendan opened up his monologue by humorously explaining who he was to the viewers and audience. He soon revealed to his friends that he was actually 67-years-old, and has a wife and thirteen children. 'I'm that fellow that you've seen in that thing you can't remember, but you think that you kind of like. Brendan replied, 'Paddington bear.' The surprise guest then re-worded his question.

Brendan Gleeson hosted the October 8, 2022 episode of "SNL." He joined Please Don't Destroy for a memorable sketch.

There are also some memorable small details in there as well — Gleeson’s character’s choice of school lunch and the line “You’re from New Jersey — your name is Tommy ‘Porkchop’ Puggiano” in particular. To an extent, it’s a spin on the “how do you do, fellow kids?” Two things about it come to mind immediately: first, it was done in the style of a 90s skateboarding video, complete with fisheye lens; and second, it starred this week’s host, Brendan Gleeson — not someone you’d expect to see channel their inner Tony Hawk.

"Weird and wonderful", Gleeson proclaimed, after he had finished telling stories about his family.

It was sort of refreshing for a show that once was a conversation starter for the country. It feels like this category will likely bounce between Kennan Thompson and Bowen Yang for most of the season (at least until Cecily Strong returns). Whatever side you take, it is the first time, in a long time, that a sketch on SNL felt provocative, even a little dangerous. In the end, it was the sense of societal collapse contained in the game show format that created comedic tension.
