He's all slow talk, this one. He acts tough and talks a big game, but when you scratch the surface he's a sweet lover-boy who could use some practice, lol. I love that you can see that softness in the set of his mouth and eyes, even though it made it hard to tell if I'd caught the scowl he's trying to project.
It's easy to forget that Adam, for all of the intensity and vulnerability he can bring to characters like Ben Solo or Father Garupe, is also capable of being side-splittingly funny. His quick wit and trademark deadpan delivery of the most ridiculous statements, so well showcased in "The Dead Don't Die," is also responsible for catching a lot of interviewers completely flat footed.
It's always a treat to get to see him flex that comedic muscle in a format which really celebrates his kind of humor, and SNL is the perfect fit. The writers and producers must agree, because he's hosted 3 times since 2016, and every time there's at least one skit that has me actually crying with laughter.
I love that Adam leans into the over-the-top ridiculousness of SNL with all of the dedication he brings to any other acting job. I will never not be amused that they had to modify the Randy the Intern skit to accommodate the fact that he'd lost his voice from shouting as Cameron at the table read the day before. And don't get me started on Abraham Parnassus from 2018. I think it must be a game, to see who will crack first, the cast or the guest. So far, Adam is winning by a LOT.
One thing he didn't win was an Emmy, but he did get nominated, and to be on that list with the likes of Fred Willard and EDDIE freakin' MURPHY really is a testament to just how hilarious our brooding mountain can be. Better luck next time, Adam! I hope you're invited back to host again sometime soon.

Best guess was that this took about 10 hours of drawing time altogether, I kind of lost track towards the end when I was mired in trying to get that silly twisted chain right.
