The 'Creed III' star and director made his 'Saturday Night Live' debut. During his monologue, Jordan joked about his public break-up and said he's on Raya.

The film—starring Jordan as Adonis “Donnie” Creed—marks the ninth installment of the Rocky franchise, and the first Creed sequel since 2018. It was one of the producer’s birthday, and one of the other employees there got her a pillow, right?

Ahead of his Saturday Night Live hosting debut, Creed star Michael B. Jordan learns about a life-size pillow of him used by the cast for years.

Following up on the prior Creed (2015) and Creed II (2018), the upcoming sequel will pit Jordan's Adonis Creed against an old childhood friend, Damian Anderson, played by [actor Jonathan Majors](https://www.cbr.com/jonathan-majors-creed-iii-calories-training/). He explained that the pillow was originally gifted by an employee to one of the show's producers for her birthday, and being that it was left in the office, it would be used by those who work on the show for naps. Jordan recounted his experience first walking into the SNL office, when he learned about how there has been a shirtless, live-size body pillow of him in there for ten years.

While hosting "Saturday Night Live," Michael B. Jordan joked his "very first public breakup" months after splitting with Lori Harvey.

In June 2022, Harvey's father [Steve Harvey](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2022/05/19/steve-harvey-celebrates-black-music-month-songs-every-moment/9820390002/) announced on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show" the couple had split. When Jordan pointed out her not-so-subtle wardrobe, she replied: “Sorry, I was just taking a walk around the studio, and I threw this on. Jordan may not need to be on the celebrity dating app Raya for long.

Michael B. Jordan made his 'Saturday Night Live' hosting debut and the cast members were all over him.

Then at the end, Punkie Johnson came in telling the night’s host he “looked fine as ever as always.” Jordan then reminded Johnson that she was gay to which she said, “I am but you’re Michael B. Chloe Fineman came in and said she was single but Jordan reminded her she was dating “that hot writer,” to which she responded, “Not if you’re available.” Closing his monologue Jordan said, “I just want to say, I’m so grateful to be standing on this stage. He said that most people say they will get in shape, but since he had just filmed the movie he was “in Creed shape” already. Jordan poked fun at himself saying, “I’m pretty sure I hit puberty mid-howl.” The Friday Night Lights alum then recalled that he went through his very first public breakup shortly after directing his first movie Creed III.

The best sketch of the night - It will be interesting to see who the union negotiations with the post production workers who passed an authorization for a potential strike. The MVP of the episode was the host once again. Comparing Trump’s potential return to Facebook with Jurassic Park, connecting Swifties protesting at Congress with their insurrectionist fathers, or crafting a joke connecting TikTok with reproductive rights in the state of Texas, “Weekend Update” demonstrated a path to relevancy for SNL again. Sometimes the chemistry between a cast member and a host shines through on SNL. He radiated charisma and commitment throughout the show. The entire sketch rested on out-of-date references and cultural confusion between the titular Towel Guys and American tourists at a Dominican resort. The contrasts between the two created comedy. “Towel Guys” was a sketch that suffers from purpose and specificity. Jordan transformed from charming to sinister with ease and Mikey Day captured the paranoia of a man fearful of being replaced superbly. Jordan stands as one of the most talented actors of his generation and a modern movie star that he channeled into sketch comedy success. From sketch to sketch, Jordan exuded ‘it’ factor even when it was clear that he was not working with the best material.

During Michael B. Jordan's "Saturday Night Live" monologue, multiple female cast members informed him that they were definitely interested.

Michael B. Jordan lets his guard down in an especially goofy episode. A recap and review of season 48, episode eleven of 'Saturday Night Live.'

Also: No shade to Please Don’t Destroy, the trio who have written some of the best sketches of the last few years (and may well have had a hand in this), but it’s fun to see a weirdo pretend-behind-the-scenes filmed piece that isn’t confined to a single office. • Is Chloe Fineman, per her appearance in the monologue, really dating a “hot writer,” and, if so, is that supposed to be an SNL writer? This is not a sophisticated sketch, but it’s mostly funny to see Gardner, queen of the outsized and weirdly accented character, do plenty of discomfiting baby-bump acting and nearly crack up Sarah Sherman by putting a firehose in her face. SNL recappers love to point out when certain tired formats get reused, so it’s only fair for me to point out that the format of janky local commercial that turns into a hyper-specific rant almost always slays me. She returns, for what we can only assume is a happy ending, reuniting with her old flame (and her husband Tommy’s in-ring opponent/assailant) Adonis Creed. Jordan has never done a good comedy, doesn’t seem to have one on the docket anytime soon, and is a big enough deal that he seems unlikely to become a five-timer anytime soon. That explains why following a standard cast-swoons-for-hot-host monologue, he immediately jumps into the heavy facial distortion of a [Sarah Sherman](https://www.vulture.com/article/sarah-sherman-snl-profile.html) sketch. The world of voiceover is a low-key source of fascination for the SNL writers; it’s not quite as frequent a go-to as game shows, talk shows, or commercial sets, but it’s getting there. (For these purposes, That Awkward Moment does not count as a comedy because it plays like someone trying to perform downtime in a Judd Apatow movie from memory.) So with old-fashioned star power comes an old-fashioned episode of SNL, with the majority of sketches aimed straight at throwing Michael B. Jordan’s star persona isn’t necessarily the intensely self-serious Method actor (he doesn’t have Jared Leto vibes), but now that he mentions it, he hasn’t done much comedy apart from putting a charismatically funny spin on a few Black Panther lines and doing a walk-on gag in an otherwise horrible Space Jam sequel. [Creed](https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/creed-ii-review.html), [Black Panther](https://www.vulture.com/2018/02/black-panther-review.html), [Just Mercy](https://www.vulture.com/2019/12/just-mercy-movie-review-michael-b-jordan-and-jamie-foxx.html)) and the films where it hardens into killing-machine tedium (see [Without Remorse](https://www.vulture.com/article/movie-review-without-remorse-starring-michael-b-jordan.html)).

Andrew Dismukes played the leader of a male confidence seminar, which was interrupted by a water jug deliveryman, played by Jordan. Che earned a succession of groans for items about abortion laws in Texas, Kanye West and polar bear extinction, all of which were solid jokes. However theatrical, this felt slight and forgettable. Yang played the most disruptive actor, and he clearly enjoyed the role. In this remote ad, a married couple is visited by Jake from State Farm, but things take a strange turn when he takes over the household's patriarchal role. Mostly making fun of such tourists, this was silly and pointless. Featuring a deranged looking Sarah Sherman and, eventually, Jordan as a weatherman who suffered similar fate, this was a pretty striking bit of physical and visual comedy that was both surreal and gross but also very funny.

'Black Panther' and 'Creed' star Michael B. Jordan hosted this week's episode of 'Saturday Night Live' with musical guest Lil Baby.

Michael be vulnerable. “Hey, Michael,” repertory player Chloe Fineman said. Michael be joking. In English, that last part translates to, “I’m on Raya,” an exclusive, membership-based dating app used by celebrities. Now, most people after a breakup are like, ‘I’m gonna get in better shape.’ But I was already in ‘Creed’ shape, so I had to be like, ‘I guess I’ll learn a new language.’ Anyway, estoy en Raya.” And honestly, Michael be nervous.
