Stellan Skarsgård Brings Laughter to SNL, Playing Unlikely Roles
In his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live (SNL), Alexander Skarsgård made his father Stellan appear in not one but two sketches. In a creative twist of family dynamics, the duo played against type, with Stellan bringing humor and wit to roles that showcased his lesser-known comedic chops.
First, Alexander took center stage in a monologue where he mimed playing the saxophone along with the SNL band. While his film projects "Pillion" and "The Moment" remained under wraps, it was clear Skarsgård's passion for music ran deep – albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
Next, Alexander paired up with Chloe Fineman to play two cast members in a Scandinavian drama titled "Stench of a Family." The sketch took an absurd turn as the characters struggled to contain their laughter between takes. Stellan then burst onto the scene, concealed beneath a bathtub filled with water and armed with a prop Incredible Hulk hand – providing a hilarious punchline that broke the tension once and for all.
Alexander also delivered a standout performance in another sketch, lampooning the stereotypes associated with immigrant parents. He played a stoic Finn whose only memory of affection from his father was accidentally touching knees in a sauna. Stellan then joined in as the screaming dad, delivering a fiery response that left the audience in stitches: "The shame is yours! Live with it!"
Cardi B made a memorable appearance in this sketch as well, playing the wife of Marcello Hernández's character. With her signature sass and wit, Cardi took on the role of the future SNL host – stealing the scene with her sassy attitude and a wig adorned with rollers.
With these sketches, Stellan Skarsgård proved himself to be more than just an actor; he's also a skilled comedic force who knows how to bring laughter to the big screen.

. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Stellan Skarsgård being silly? The way they played those unexpected roles just had me laughing out loud 
. And Cardi B's cameo was pure fire 
! I'm glad Alexander got to show off his music skills too, it's not every day you get to see a celebrity rock out on SNL 
. Stellan really brought the laughs and proved he's more than just an actor, he's a funny dude 
! As a parent, it's great to see older generations being playful and silly on TV. I think Alexander did a great job of showcasing his dad's comedic side, and the sketches were just ridiculous enough to be funny 
. The part about the "stench of a family" sketch had me laughing out loud - my kids are always fighting with each other, but I don't think we'd ever have a family member bursting out of a bathtub 
!
, it was hilarious! And Alexander's passion for music was great to see too 
. But what really stood out was the way they played off each other as father and son - so natural and funny 
. Can't wait to see what Stellan does next - he's definitely got some serious comedic chops 
! The way he played those roles alongside Alexander was pure gold – I mean, who wouldn't laugh at a screaming dad in a sauna? 
. Stellan's definitely got some hidden comedic talents and I'm here for it 
. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out for more Stellan's comedic work, he's got a hidden talent 
The saxophone bit was alright, but it felt like they were trying too hard to be quirky. And what's with the "Stench of a Family" sketch? Just seems like a bunch of weirdness strung together 
. And don't even get me started on the sauna scene... yeah, that's just awkward 
. But hey, Cardi B was lit! 
cardi b's cameo was fire too, she always brings the sass 
! I'm loving how Alexander brought out his dad's funny side on SNL, they're literally comedic GENIUS 
! I need more of those hilarious Scandinavian drama sketches ASAP 
! And can we talk about Cardi B for a sec? 
. The idea of Stellan bursting into the bathtub scene was genius 
! And Cardi B's cameo had me DYING 
. I'm so glad they're pushing past the typical roles and bringing out the laughs 
. Alexander's passion for music and his comedic chops are clear, and I'm curious to see more of that side of him in the future
