Adam Driver’s musical SNL letter to Santa has set a new standard for cold opens – and letters to Santa

Actor Adam Driver – of Star Wars, Marriage Story and House of Gucci fame – was this weekend’s guest host on Saturday Night Live, and he went straight in with a festive monologue …not to mention some very impressive piano playing.

This is frankly the best SNL open I’ve ever seen. Literally every other host reads from a teleprompter. You can tell Adam took this seriously.
