Oscar Isaac will be taking over as host for tonight's episode of "Saturday Night Live," in what will be his official hosting debut for the series. The actor is perhaps most well known for his performance as the cocky Resistance pilot Poe Dameron in "Star Wars," though most of his other well-known roles come from more serious projects like "Drive" and "Inside Llewyn Davis."
Isaac is also set to appear as the titular character in the highly anticipated Marvel Studios miniseries "Moon Knight," which premieres later this month and sees the actor once again leaning into his talent for the dramatic. Moon Knight is a hero unlike any we've seen in the MCU thus far: a violent, sadistic vigilante who is at war with his own mind. One has to assume that hosting "Saturday Night Live" will be a welcome reprieve for Isaac after playing such a dark and dismal character, and tonight's episode may be a rare glimpse into the lighter side of an actor who so often finds himself entrenched in dramatic films. Tonight's episode may not be as highly anticipated as last week's, though we're still excited to see what Isaac can bring to what has been a stellar season thus far.
