Chadwick Boseman — yes, the star of the record-breaking Marvel film Black Panther, — [1] got his chance to host Saturday Night Live [2] this week, and it's safe to say he totally crushed his opening monologue.
After cracking a joke or two about how he finally got to take the stage a full two months after Black Panther hit theaters [3] he went on to have a little fun at Sterling K. Brown's expense, saying that Sterling already got to talk about Black Panther [4] on SNL, and "he dies in the first scene of the movie."
Keenan Thompson decided to get in on the action by interrupting Chadwick and begging him to do a Black Panther sequel. "Come on, dude! I know you guys are doin' a sequel. Hook a brother up," he said. "It's hard out there for a black space cat with spiky suspenders."
Oh, and did we mention his outfit was totally on point? Check out the video clip to get some much-needed laughs from one of the year's biggest stars and first-time SNL host.
