Miles Teller was all the time destined for the Studio 8H stage, and he has the video proof to show it. The “Prime Gun: Maverick” star kicked off Season 48 of “Saturday Night time Reside” with a monologue that included an obscure reference to his early movie position in “Whiplish,” a shoutout to Tom Cruise, and a profitable joke about how the “Prime Gun” sequel was the uncommon movie that managed to wow the army neighborhood and the LGBTQ+ neighborhood. However the standout second in Teller’s monologue got here when he confirmed a clip from a house video that includes him and his sister reenacting the traditional Spartan cheerleaders “SNL” sketch from when he was a child.
The unique sketch starred Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri as two teenagers who’re determined to land a spot on their college’s cheerleading squad. In Teller and his sister’s model, an 8-year-old Teller performed Oteri’s character (he “had the body for it,” he defined), and his sister took on the Ferrell position. Collectively, they reenacted the “who’s that spartan in my teepee” bit for his or her mother and father, whereas their little sister watched from afar. (The “Spiderhead” star joked that his youthful sister was taking part in Lorne Michaels as she peeped across the nook from one other room whereas carrying what seemed to be a kid-sized swimsuit.)
What made the second all of the sweeter was that Teller’s mother supplied him with the footage, and he or she and his dad had been within the studio viewers. “How loopy is that? My mother and father used to observe me doing skits in my lounge and now they’re right here watching me host ‘Saturday Night time Reside,'” he stated.
Along with his nostalgia-fueled monologue, Teller re-teamed together with his “Prime Gun: Maverick” co-star Jon Hamm for the present’s self-referential chilly open, performed the host of a recreation present starring the likes of Adam Levine and Armie Hammer, and stepped into the position of a Charmin bear.
