AceShowbiz - Paul Mescal made his debut on "Saturday Night Live" as the host. Starting his monologue with a note of self-deprecating humor, Mescal acknowledged his lack of a "comedy resumé," despite delivering "some really funny performances."

He then proceeded to show a montage of his most intense acting scenes, highlighting his comfort with "emotional scenes, nude scenes, or nude emotional scenes."

Mescal took pride in his Irish heritage, acknowledging the hardships faced by the Irish people throughout history, including British occupation, famine, and mass emigration.

He then aimed to clear up some "ugly stereotypes," humorously dispelling the rumor that the Irish have sex with their cousins, claiming they have sex with their "second cousins" instead. He also joked that the Irish don't hate British people, they just "don't consider them people."

Another stereotype Mescal addressed was the Fighting Irish mascot. He expressed no offense, adding that the Irish do the same thing with Americans, as his high school mascot was the "Fighting Fat-Asses." Addressing the attention he's received for his short shorts, Mescal stated that the Irish "traditionally wear short shorts," not kilts.

Mescal closed his monologue by expressing his gratitude for being given the opportunity to host SNL and sharing, "This feels totally, totally insane to me."
