Saturday Night Live: Jason Momoa, Tate McRae Get Their SNL Welcome

NBC's Saturday Night Live posted its "Welcome to Studio 8H!" video this morning for host Jason Momoa and musical guest Tate McRae.

After a strong outing this past weekend with host Timothée Chalamet and musical guest boygenius, it's time to get the wheels rolling on this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live. Taking the stages of Studio 8H are Jason Momoa (who has an "Aquaman" movie in desperate need of some good press) and musical guest Tate McRae (who we're excited to see perform live) – which means that it's only fitting that they're welcomed to their SNL week the right way…

Here's a look at SNL's official video welcome to Momoa and McRae – with a midweek sketch & read-thru on tap for Wednesday:
