Oscar Isaac hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time tonight (5 March), using part of his opening monologue to poke fun at the way he’s viewed by casting directors. “I’m half Guatemalan, half Cuban—or, as casting directors call that, ‘Ethnically ambiguous,’” he said. “According to them, I can play anything from a pharaoh to Timothée Chalamet’s daddy.”
He also pointed out that his full name is Oscar Isaac Hernández Estrada. “I said to Hollywood, ‘You can pick two of these names,’” he joked. “Guess what they went with? The white ones.”
