Saturday Night Live: Adam Driver Prepares for Fourth Time Hosting in New Promo

Adam Driver appears in the first promo for his fourth hosting stint at Saturday Night Live.

Adam Driver is happy to be back at 30 Rock. The Star Wars alumnus is hosting Saturday Night Live for the fourth time this coming weekend, and the actor's first promo for the upcoming edition has hit the airwaves. Wednesday, the clip surfaced online showing Driver in a makeup chair on the stage at Studio 8H.

As he gives himself a pep talk, Driver reads melodramatic lines as he discusses walking in the shoes of others. That's when the camera pulls out and it reveals the actor sitting in huge white and scarlet clown shoes. See the SNL promo for yourself below.

It's Driver's fourth time on the live sketch comedy, but the first he's hosted while not part of the Star Wars franchise. As such, it's unlikely he'll reprise his role in the show's Undercover Boss parody. This weekend he'll be joined by pop star Olivia Rodrigo, who's making her second appearance on the series.

Next weekend, the series will feature the hosting debut of Kate McKinnon, an SNL alumnus who appeared on the series for a decade before departing last year. She'll be joined on the Christmas episode by Billie Eilish, who'll be making her third appearance on the series.
