The No Time to Die, villain, just made a grand appearance on the SNL show, and it is quite a fresh scene to see the Bond villain try his hands at comedy. His hosting on the Saturday Night Live show brought quite the attention to the Oscar winner's fluency in wit and jokes, and he was joined on stage by Pete Davidson for a Squid Game spoof. 

The Bohemian Rhapsody star, aged 40, did a fine job with his jokes and sarcasm on the night TV show, SNL. His work as a host of the NBC Saturday series is now much acclaimed for the Squid Game spoof alongside The King of Staten Island star, aged 27. He went to hum a quick rhythm and blues tune as he took part in the Squid Game, a show now all set to become the most-watched series on Netflix.

The Korean thriller-drama follows a series of kids' games played by adults, but with a very unfortunate result if they go wrong. The show focuses on a group of 456 players that, due to extreme poverty, fall into a get rich quick scheme, and if they win, they could win a big prize lottery. As they play the kids' game, the people who lose are instantly made to regret their ever coming to the show as the pink-uniformed guards quickly descend to inflict deadly penalities. 

The SNL spoof of the show is quite similar to the series, with the only distinction that Rami Malek and Pete Davidson do not fall to such miserable ends as the inmates of the Korean series. Both the stars added a lot of lightheartedness and comedy to the game with their musical musings of having to play such an event and also reminisce about the hardships of their fictional lives. They appear in the full Squid Game regalia of green jumpsuit costumes and Vans.

Pete Davidson sings: "Guess I gotta play the Squid Game. My only option is the Squid Game. I have a number, not a real name, 'cause I'm playing in the Squid Game," in a country tune and then proceeds to tell about his many misfortunes and that his only option to earn big is by joining the game. 

And then Rami joins him, singing: "Weird cards, pink guards. Locked us in a big room ... Bunk beds, new friends. Piggybank up in the sky." "That's what happens in the squid game… that's the way you play the Squid Game," he finishes.

The Squid Game spoof was not the only parody in the show. Just as they were done with the show's hilarious remake, Rami descended the stage again to take up his duties as the host and, of course, give the honorary Saturday Night Live opening monologue. Considering Rmi's affinity towards villainous characters, it was only a matter of time until he spoke about it. He began by telling how a comedy like the Squid Game sketch was beyond him because his characters are usually of criminal disposition.

He said, "I don't usually do comedy — I have what they call resting villain face," and here he made a rather convincing imitation of a villain. "I know most people would rather play the hero, but weirdly, I've always been more drawn to villains," he said because he is one of the people to justify the reasoning of a villain. To the added astonishment of everyone, he also added that he "sympathizes" with many cinema villains like the iconic Scar from The Lion King. 

And further, to add to your dismay on this shocking fact, Rami went on to call the sweet, innocent little Simba "annoying." He said, "I found Simba to be annoying. You wanna be king? You're like 3 years old. Relax," which kind of makes sense. Only if Scar wasn't so quick to push Simba's father from the throne ( read cliff ), which would eventually be Simba's when he turned older.

However, Rami went on, "And Silence Of The Lambs — poor Hannibal. That lady keeps coming in and asking the guy questions — like leave him alone!" talking about the terrible events of the Anthony Hopkins starrer film. He also justified Dracula and Darth Vader as he said, "I think a lot of them are misunderstood…like Dracula. Thirsty… Darth Vader… just trying to reconnect with his son. Freddy Kruger? Encouraging kids to dream."

The host himself had a magnificent role as a villain in a Bond movie only recently. The 007 villain starred in the latest James Bond film: No Time to Die, which is going to be the last Bond movie for the longest 007 spy, Daniel Craig. Rami Malek portrayed the character of Lyutsifer Safin in the film. The film had faced an initial setback with COVID 19 regulations hindering the release of movies in theaters. Now, the movie has finally been released, and Daniel Craig is as fantastic as ever to portray the M16 agent 007. 

Though Rami has a great liking for the anti-heroes, it did not make portraying Safin an easy work for the bond movie, even for the Oscar winner himself. Talking about the challenges to act the role, he said, "There's something so dark and evil and sinister about him that I just had to remove myself from him and say, this is not part of my DNA thankfully, and I can just transform into somebody who I don't have to pull anything from and just create something that is exciting to bring to Daniel and 007," he told the Empire. 

Explaining further, he continued, "Because when you don't have much care in the world, you're not worried about what happens to you, and you can throw any risks out the window. That's something that's difficult to argue with or fight against. 

Another parody to score the attention on the Night show was the latest NFL scandal involving Jon Gruden for his racist emails and remarks. The parody began with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, played by Colin Jost, exclaiming, "This time, one of our coaches is accused of racism, misogyny, and homophobia — but, hey, at least no one's talking about concussions."

To this, Jon Gruden ( James Austin Johnson ) had to say, "I hope you won't judge me on one email I sent 10 years ago, or the 20 emails I sent last Tuesday." He continued, "I promise I don't have a racist bone in my body. When I called an African American player 'darker than a night with no stars,' that wasn't racial. I was referring to his sense of humor, which is extremely dark and edgy, like that show 'Louis' on FX."
