Watch Chadwick Boseman Talk 'Black Panther' In Saturday Night Live Opening Monologue

Black Panther was a hot topic on Saturday Night Live last night, and the hero even made an impact on the opening monologue.

King T'Challa himself Chadwick Boseman took the stage of Saturday Night Live as host last night, and while he was happy to be there he did acknowledge the lateness of his hosting gig.

"I'm so happy to be hosting Saturday Night Live only two months after Black Panther came out," Boseman said. "But, but, it's still before The Avengers, so we're not completely late."

Boseman also acknowledged that SNL has already started mining Black Panther for sketches, leaving the idea drawer a bit bare bones.

"You know it's actually kind of tough hosting because SNL has already done a bunch of sketches about Black Panther, so there's really only bad ideas left."

He brought up ideas like " a talk show called Wake Up Wakanda!" or a sketch where Black Panther has sex with Leslie Jones". It's important to note of course that the sketch in question was in fact proposed by Leslie Jones...though you can't really blame her for trying.

He also brought up that one of his Black Panther co-stars who already had the chance to host and get some of those early ideas, which hurts since he dies quite early in the movie.

"So it's tough and it's not fair. I mean Sterling K. Brown got to do a Black Panther sketch before me and he dies in the first scene of the movie. I'd say spoiler alert but again the movie's been out for two months people."

That's cold Boseman, but to be fair he's not wrong, and the skit Brown got to do was actually pretty funny to boot.
