Glen Powell's SNL Hosting Gig: A Walken-esque Dance, But With a Twist of Fate!
November 12, 2025, marked a memorable moment for actor Glen Powell as he geared up to host Saturday Night Live. In a promotional video, Powell channeled his inner Christopher Walken, recreating the iconic dance from the 'Weapon of Choice' music video. But here's where it gets interesting: Powell added his own twist, and it didn't go exactly as planned!
The actor, known for his roles in The Twisters and the action-packed Top Gun: Maverick, showcased his dance moves to 'Action Call' by Baptiste Thiry. With confidence, he danced through the SNL set, even performing on a moving dolly platform. But tragedy struck when he attempted a forward flip, resulting in a broken neck! Ouch, that's one way to make an entrance.
Powell's comedic timing didn't falter, even in the face of this fictional accident. He jokingly threatened cast members Sarah Sherman and Andrew Dismukes, saying, 'Don't. Tell. Lorne.' as he was wheeled out on a stretcher.
This hosting gig is a significant milestone for Powell, who recently starred in the Stephen King adaptation, 'The Running Man,' as the unlikely hero Ben Richards. He's no stranger to action, as his latest film attests, but this dance routine took things to a whole new level.
And this is the part most people miss: Despite the mishap, Powell's energy and commitment to the bit were undeniable. It's a testament to his versatility as an entertainer. But was it all just a clever publicity stunt? You decide!
