-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.

-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.
