The audience and the staff had highly anticipated Owen Wilson's debut hosting on "Saturday Night Live," as the actor took over hosting duties with Kacey Musgraves.

Last October 2, the actor had opened up the segment with an ode to the previous season in his monologue. "A lot has changed since last season. The vaccine came out everywhere except Florida, and the rest of the country went back to normal for about a week and a half."

Entertainment Tonight reported that Owen brought up "The Talk" show issue in one of his skits, which caught the viewers' attention.

Owen's Take on "The Talk" Issue

"It has to be on TV. For HIPPA reasons, we either can't tell anybody or have to tell everybody. No middle ground," Wilson joked. This was about the recent happenings revolving around former hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin, who were pulled off from the show after receiving false-positive COVID test results.

That night, the guests Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, Ego Nwodim, and Heidi Gardner joined the two hosts roasting the talk show.

According to People, the late-night show also confirmed Kim Kardashian as part of the hosting line-up. The reality TV starlet will be paired with Halsey as her musical guest next Saturday. Rami Malek and Young Thug will appear on the 16th just before Jason Sudeikis come back with Brandi Carlile.
