On November 15, 2025, a 37-year-old actor revealed during his Saturday Night Live opening monologue that he had flown in his UPS driver, Mitch, to witness his hosting debut. The actor explained that he was originally supposed to host SNL four years ago in 2021 to coincide with the release of the film Top Gun: Maverick, but those plans were derailed due to COVID-19 delays.
When the actor initially told Mitch he would be hosting SNL in 2021, Mitch was excited. However, the hosting gig never materialized, leading Mitch to go around telling people the actor was a liar. To prove to Mitch that he was telling the truth, the actor arranged for Mitch to fly to New York and attend the 2025 SNL episode where the actor was finally able to make his hosting debut.
The actor shared that he was determined to make good on his promise to Mitch, even though it took an extra four years. He wanted to show Mitch that he was not a liar and that the best things in life don't always happen overnight. In the end, the actor was able to bring Mitch onstage to take a celebratory selfie, finally putting an end to Mitch's years of calling the actor a liar.
