-We love you, dude.
-Oh, man. -Welcome back.
I'm so happy you're back. I want to talk to you about
so many things. I cannot wait for people
to see "Aquaman." You did -- It was un--
[ Cheers and applause ] It's gonna crush. I would go see it in IMAX
if I had the choice because it is
so visually stunning. -It's amazing.
-It's really great. I want to get into that. I just want to say thanks again
for coming back. I don't know if you remember
the last time you came here. You were great.
We had a fun time. -Absolutely.
-We played a game. -Water Wars.
-We played Water War. -You wanted to go against
Aquaman in Water Wars, yeah. -I got to say, I had no idea
how strong you are. [ Laughter ] The game is, you play
the card game "War" and the loser gets water thrown
in their face. To have this man throw
a glass of water -- I just want -- Can we just look
at the first time when I lost? -[ Grunts ] -That's fine.
[ Laughter ] Watch the second time
when I lost the second time. Watch this thing. -What?! -Oh!
[ Laughter ] -Dude, it sounded like
a -- Dude, it sounded like -- It sounded like someone slapped
a ham or something. It sounded like you smacked me
with water. Can we see it in slow motion
because I don't even know if anyone can realize how,
like -- [ Laughter ] I've never seen that happen. I almost -- I almost drowned. I almost drowned. That's my drowning face, and then the third one,
you just gave me the triple -- Look at the third one. -Oh! [ Cheers and applause ] -I have so many people come up
to me, and they're just like, "That is the greatest thing
you ever did." They loved it. -Dude, it's the funniest thing
ever. I was like -- I haven't played since because
my face is numb, still. [ Laughter ] How is "Saturday Night Live"
going? I'm so happy you're hosting
"Saturday Night Live." -It's the dream.
Ever since last time I was here I just was so stoked to take
my kids so they could see it, and now a year later -- -You're hosting.
-I'm hosting. I'm up there right now
rehearsing. It's the hardest thing I've ever
done in my life. It's so intense. -They love you.
I heard the feedback. -It's the dream. -You're a big fan of the show.
-Huge, man. -We talked about it.
-My whole life. Yeah, like, they are my heroes. I love the show and it's, like,
I just want to be a part. Just to be honored to be
around the cast and just be a part of it. Hosting, I just love it so much.
-No, you have to be in it now. -I know, but it's amazing.
-Really? And you love the pieces so far they're writing for you
and everything? -Yeah, yeah. I mean, we did the whole Tuesday
thing and now it's done. -Yeah, isn't it great?
-Yeah, it's unbelievable. -So Thursday is --
-Right now we're rehearsing. -Blocking, right?
-Yeah, blocking into the promos. -Dude, it's so great. I already
love the promos, it's great. I'm so happy for you, dude.
Congrats. Let's talk "Aquaman."
-Yeah. -Dude, I mean, last time we saw
you it was "Justice League." We just saw -- you know, we saw
you in that. This is your own movie. This is all you, the whole --
This is like an origin story. -Yeah, a beautiful origin story.
We start when I'm a little boy, but it kind of picks up for my
character right after "Justice League" and he's going home to see his
father and the world is in peril And I have to kind of pull
the two worlds together, land and sea. -Who directed this?
-James Wan. -Man. How do you even do that
because it's clearly you can't -- you're not
underwater breathing. -No, yeah, we're, like -- -Because your hair --
-We're like puppets. It's like little strings
and they hold us and they put us
all over in these little -- -But your hair is flowing
in the water and -- -Nah, it's like slicked back with little polka dots
all over it and it's all CG'd and they make
it look like we're underwater. -You're kidding me. -Yeah, my beard's like that.
It looks weird. -No way!
-It's not a good look. It's hard to act against,
you know what I mean? -Yeah, exactly, right?
-Creepy. -But that's bizarre. Anyway, it's such
a well-done movie. -Yeah.
-Congrats on that. I wanted to show
everyone a clip. Here's Jason Momoa in "Aquaman."
Take a look at this. ♪♪ ♪♪ -[ Grunts ] What the hell are these things?! -The trench! We're here! ♪♪ There are too many of them!
-Come on. Get inside. ♪♪ They're from the depths.
They're scared of the light. ♪♪ You ready to jump? ♪♪ -I mean, visually.
[ Cheers and applause ] What more do you want? What more do you want
out of a movie than that? It's visually stunning.
It's great. You're fantastic in it. I have --
I brought a little something, a little memento from the film. Yeah.
[ Laughter ] Do you -- this is the exact one
you used in the film. [ Laughter ] Yeah, I think so, yeah. This is great. [ Laughter ] That part -- that scene
when you do that, it's great. Do you have one of these?
At home? -Yeah, I got four of them, but
they're not the child's toys. This is a child's toy. [ Audience oohs ] Give me my real one! -Really?
You want to bring it on? I'm afraid right now. Okay, when we come back, there's some real tridents
when we come back. Jason and I go head-to-head
in a trident-throwing contest. Everybody stick around. ♪♪
