Woody Harrelson is promoting his upcoming hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" in some funny sketches. Appearing with "SNL" featured player Taran Killam, the Academy Award-winning actor proposes "Hunger Games" on the NBC show, encouraging the cast to fight to the death like the plot of his movie "The Hunger Games".

"Where someone actually dies?" Killam asks. "Yeah," Harrelson replies, explaining, "Just [kill off] one person - you got a huge cast." Just as he finishes his line, Aidy Bryant suddenly appears and shoots Killam with an arrow.

In another skit, Killam keeps mistaking Harrelson for other notable figures named Woody. Meanwhile, in a separate video, Harrelson and Killam get stoned and can't stop laughing hysterically.

Harrelson, who will reprise his role as Haymitch Abernathy in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" due November 21 Stateside, will host "SNL" on November 15 at 11:30/10:30c on NBC, with musical guest Kendrick Lamar. It will be his third time hosting the variety series.
