Saturday Night Live’s first episode back from the Christmas break was filled with quite a few fun little surprises. More specifically, it was overflowing with cameos. Some of them, like host Finn Wolfhard’s longtime Stranger Things cast members Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin, were delightful but not altogether shocking. Others like Sabrina Carpenter and Jason Momoa, however, felt like they came from the Upside Down.
Momoa’s appearance in particular was a doubletake situation. He randomly appeared in a fake trailer for a Harry Potter and Heated Rivalry crossover called Heated Wizardry. Thankfully, SNL gave him the perfect character to play: Hagrid. Momoa’s obviously no stranger to facial hair, and he’s got that Hagrid-like size and rugged masculinity to pull the role off. Given the subject matter, however, he takes the groundskeeper in a much sassier, “old queen” direction. You can watch the sketch that is quickly going viral in full below…
