Pedro Pascal is in-studio 8H live! The 47-year-old actor, hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time this past weekend, where he was joined by Coldplay, who also served as the show's musical guest. Additionally, Pascal made a lighthearted comparison between filming The Last of Us, the series in which he currently stars, and another HBO sensation, The White Lotus, during his opening monologue: "For some HBO shows, you get to shoot in a five-star Italian resort surrounded by beautiful people, but I said, 'No, that's too easy.' I wanna shoot in a freezing Canadian forest while being chased around by a guy whose head looks like a genital wart." He then went on to discuss how he feels privileged to be a part of "huge franchises like Game of Thrones and Star Wars" before focusing on his family, the majority of whom, including "34 first cousins," he said still lived in Chile, where he was born. In addition, Pascal quipped that his fans keep requesting him to attend weddings or sing happy birthday to their priest since his family is so proud of the success he has found as an actor that they go around providing his phone number to everyone.

Lastly, NBC broadcasts Saturday Night Live on the weekends.
