Honestly, Glen Powell Just Wants to Host SNL – And He's Ready

You know Glen Powell, right? That guy who charmed everyone in 'Top Gun: Maverick' and then absolutely stole scenes in 'Anyone But You'? Well, turns out, even Hollywood's rising stars have their ultimate bucket list items, and for Powell, it's not some far-flung Oscar or a superhero franchise. No, for him, it's all about Studio 8H – the legendary stage of 'Saturday Night Live'.

Honestly, this isn't some new, fleeting wish. Powell's been carrying this particular torch for quite some time, calling it 'the ultimate goal.' And, you could say, he's been putting in the work – albeit in a rather unconventional setting. Picture this: a Hollywood heartthrob, post-shower, practicing his SNL monologue. It’s endearing, isn't it? He's confident, too, genuinely believing he's ready for the big moment.

In truth, seeing his 'Top Gun: Maverick' co-star, Miles Teller, take on hosting duties only amplified the itch. And why wouldn't it? Powell, in his own words, has been 'on the come-up for a while now.' He's been steadily building a career, a presence, through years of grinding work. 'Top Gun,' for example, wasn't some overnight sensation; it was a long, painstaking process that truly solidified his place.

And what a 'dream year' it’s been, honestly. From the sheer spectacle of 'Top Gun: Maverick' to the rom-com charm of 'Anyone But You,' Powell has proven his versatility. Looking ahead, he's even diving into the eye of the storm with 'Twisters.' It’s a dizzying ascent, and one he attributes not just to luck, but to pure, unadulterated grit. You see, he just 'haven’t given up' – a simple truth, but profoundly powerful in an industry notorious for its ups and downs.

It's a testament, perhaps, to his belief that when opportunities arise, you absolutely have to seize them. And for Glen Powell, the chance to stand on that legendary SNL stage? Well, that would certainly be an opportunity he'd grab with both hands. Here's hoping Lorne Michaels is listening; the man’s clearly ready to bring the laughs.
