Woody Harrelson host this weekend Saturday Night Live episode and he certainly does not shy away from drawing attention to action!!
The actor was on hand to host the event for the fifth time – and received the coveted five-timers club jacket for the feat. However, things don’t go as planned on stage during his opening monologue. And now the downfall is coming!!

So, Woody’s opening monologue is important for several reasons. Stars donned the stage Studio 8H for the first time telling fans how he became a “redneck hippie.” What he means, well, it’s not clear. They say they have gun rights … but only if there’s, uh, a gun going off:
“You know, the red in me thinks you should be allowed to have a gun. The blue in me thinks – shoot the gun. So, I’m red and blue makes purple. I’m purple.”
At Triangle Of Sadness This actor also opened pining for the five timers jacket during the monologue.
When he first took the stage to the applause of the audience, he mentioned his achievement as he appeared to the side with his arms crossed, waiting for his jacket to be placed on him:
“And you know what that means…”
But nothing came out!! Awkward!
Unmoved, Harrelson continued forward. He referred back to the last time he hosted SNL – Thanksgiving 2019 – and how he smoked weed before performing. Explaining why he did it in the ep more than three years ago, Woody said:
“The reason I prefer weed to alcohol is because I feel good, I don’t get drunk and I never wake up bleeding.”
Umm ok?
Then, he continued to ramble on for a few minutes as the audience began to get confused. They laugh together at points, but Woody is off on his own tangent!
Then he left!!! After six minutes of rambling, Woody gets the point:
“So the movie goes like this: the biggest drug cartel in the world gets together and buys all the media and all the politicians and forces everyone in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only get out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep going take the medicine.
There is a COVID conspiracy – and some anti-vaccine sentiment to boot. But he didn’t back down!
He concluded with a flourish:
“I threw away my script. I mean, who would believe such a crazy idea? Drug addiction? I do it voluntarily all day long.
shit!
