Jason Momoa’s SNL No-Pants Fiasco: Labeled “Barbarian” and Depp Lookalike, Fans Debate Wardrobe Freedom
Jason Momoa is gearing up for his return as the host of Saturday Night Live, and he’s not sweating the small stuff. The Aquaman star, making a comeback nearly five years after his first SNL stint, will be joined by musical guest Tate McRae on November 18.
In a recently released promo, the ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ actor, brimming with enthusiasm, made a fashion statement by hilariously forgetting to wear his pants for the taping. Check out the sidesplitting promo below and see what fans are saying. Netizens are also revealing their expectations for which skits they’d like to see the charismatic Fast X actor participate in.

The Hilarious Mishap:
The promo, lasting over a minute, kicks off with Jason reminiscing about his first SNL hosting gig in 2018. However, the laugh riot begins when cast member Ego Nwodim notices a crucial wardrobe malfunction and informs Jason about the missing lower garment. Ego affectionately states, “We love you, but you just can’t be wearing your underwear,” as we catch a glimpse of Jason’s pixilated bottoms, and she insists, “This is a workplace.”
Undeterred, Jason responds with a chuckle, “I’m sorry. When I get excited, I forget my pants.” Ego attempts to dress him, but the ‘King of Atlantis’ playfully dashes around the stage, eventually joining SNL featured player Marcello Hernandez for some energetic jumping. The promo serves as a delightful teaser for the upcoming wild SNL show this weekend.
Fan Reactions and Witty Remarks:
Fans on social media couldn’t help but join in the fun. One cheekily wondered, “Why is he dressed as Johnny Depp?? OH WAIT, he’s just dressed as he ALWAYS has.” Another playfully criticized SNL, saying, “This is how we know that SNL hates its viewers. If they loved us, they’d never have pixelated that man’s ass.”
Commenting on Jason’s unconventional attire, a fan wrote, “It’s getting hot in here, Jason! Please take off all your clothes.” While another nonchalantly suggested, “If the man doesn’t want to wear pants… don’t make him wear pants. Just sayin.”
Fan Expectations and Anticipation:
As fans eagerly anticipate Jason Momoa’s SNL appearance, they’ve been sharing their wish list for skits. One fan hopes for a “Fast X” sketch, while another suggests bringing back Beck for a sequel to the “impress your parents” sketch.
Others express a desire to see Jason in a “Please Don’t Destroy” skit, noting that he seems perfect for their humor. And one adventurous fan wishes, “He really needs to do a skit as Slash before the hair gets cut.”
On the X platform, a Jason Momoa and SNL enthusiast shared behind-the-scenes pictures and videos, expressing gratitude with, “Mahalo for having me check out SNL this Saturday! My dream job! Aloha j.”
