Jacob Elordi cooks sizzling Saturday night live debut.
The Saltburn actor, 26, hosted this weekend’s episode of the sketch comedy, the first in 2024, which opened with a monologue in which Elordi discussed his hit film Saltburn and even gave the audience a taste of a particularly corny scene from the film.
Beginning his monologue by saying how “exciting” it is to be in the SNL and describing himself as “the host of the first, and best, show of 2024 yet,” Elordi then talked about the hit movie, in which he played Felix Catton’s character.
“So maybe you know me Saltburn,” he continued, adding, “not watching a movie, just watching TikToks, like this scene…”
At that moment, a particularly sexual scene from the film appeared on the screen, showing a naked Barry Keoghan — who played Oliver Quick — on top of a grave, prompting laughter and cheers from the studio audience.
“I was the one in the grave,” Elordi explained. He then thanked those who watched the film, before directing the audience to ask him any questions they might have. After various SNL members sitting in the audience peppered the actor with questions, he ended his monologue by saying he was “grateful” to be the host.
“Before we start I just want to take a moment to say how grateful I am to be here,” he said, adding, “I’ve been acting for seven years and it’s so easy to get caught up in the rush of trying to get to the next thing and the next thing. But tonight … people… I like it here, you are all here, and because if you I am here. Well thank you, thank you very much, ” He said.
Elordi also appeared in various sketches during the series, including one in which he gave advice to aspiring actors, including Rachel McAdams who plays an actress who looks like McAdams. The Mean Girls actress previously made a surprise cameo to introduce musical guest Reneé Rapp.
Before Saturday’s show, cast member Bowen Yang shot a promo for the episode with Elordi and Rapp. In the clip, Yang joked with Rapp, “Reneé, you’re so right. He’s such a little girl.”
“Me? I’m a girl?” Elordi then asked Las Culturistas host.
Wednesday’s opening promotion revealed Elordi’s case of stage fright – or a fear of stairs, as he was unable to descend the three flights of stairs leading to the main stage. ”
“They all make it look so easy,” the Euphoria the star muttered to himself between quick interruptions of entrances by previous hosts, including Kim Kardashian and Zac Efron. An ’80s-style training montage of Elordi’s attempts to crawl and slide down the stairs plays as actors Marcello Hernández and Punkie Johnson cheer him on.

“You got it, my friend,” Hernández encouraged him, while Johnson added, “Let’s go, J.”
In one final attempt, Elordi practiced a gracious entrance, only to find himself at the foot of the stairs after his shoe caught on the landing.
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Priscilla groaned the actor, still on the ground.
Last month, SNL announced Elordi as its first host in 2024, with Rappa accompanying him as the musical guest. He reposted the iconic SNL corkboard on Instagram, prompting reactions from stars like Sofia Coppola and Rachel Zegler.
