The former 'Girls' star surprised audiences by taking to the piano during his SNL monologue, marking his return and enchanting the stage.
His performance was not a solo act; joining him was Olivia Rodrigo, adding musical charisma to the show.
This marks Driver's fourth stint as the host of SNL, a repeat performance from his debut in 2020.
In the festive spirit, Driver shared his profound affection for Christmas, revealing a deeply personal connection with the holiday.
"Returning here during this season is exhilarating," expressed the Star Wars actor during his monologue.
"Christmas, to me, embodies joy—be it the cuisine, melodies, or the bonds shared. But mainly, it's because of my profound bond with Santa," he elaborated, effusively.
The actor humorously confessed, "Usually, it's a private affair," hinting at his unique interaction with Santa.
"Now that we're gathered and Santa watches SNL—though he's not been a fan since [Chris] Kattan's era," Driver teased.
Revealing his ritualistic connection with Santa, Driver serenaded the jolly figure with a piano-accompanied Christmas list.
While singing, Driver amusingly commented, "I wish people would stop accosting me about 'killing Han Solo.' Wokeness was the culprit, not me," referencing his role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Additionally, Driver reminisced about working alongside Ford, reminiscing, "John Williams' score wasn't the soundtrack. It was an immensely emotional experience, filming with Harrison."
Reflecting on the impactful moments on set, Driver remarked, "Harrison's demeanor was profoundly generous and contemplative, a poignant memory despite the scene being his character's demise."
'Ferrari' presented a distinct cinematic journey, marking yet another milestone in Mann's career trajectory.
