Andrew Garfield on SNL: 'Spider-Man' Actor's Promos Are Released; What Did Emma Stone Say About Him?
"Spider-Man" himself will be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend and Coldplay will be the musical guest.
The SNL promos have been released, and Andrew Garfield has teamed up with Bobby Moynihan to deliver comedy gold. On the first promo, Moynihan explains that Garfield plays his favorite superhero, while he hums the Batman theme song.
"I'm not Batman," Garfield says, before Moynihan starts humming another tune. "I'm not Superman either."
The next promo sees Garfield, who is half English and half American, speaking in his natural British accent. Then, Moynihan asks him to do it in English, which he also nails. That's when Moynihan gets creative. He asks Garfield to do a promo for the "dog audience," and the 30-year-old actor proceeds to bark.
Garfield's girlfriend Emma Stone has hosted SNL in the past, and Moynihan said he hoped he did as good a job as she did. He then showed Garfield that the stage was renamed in her honor.
When Moynihan dresses up as a comedy actor, he gives Garfield the recipe for a successful promo: giant sunglasses and a flower hat.
In one of the weirder and shorter promos, Moynihan listens to Andrew Garfield as he reads a book. When he tries to exit, he says there are tigers on that side of the room.
The last promo has Garfield trying to say his lines more dramatically. His solution is to lower his voice to the point where he is practically whispering. He later calls himself a British Clint Eastwood.
After that, it's just the two riffing on each other. Garfield says that Moynihan's web slinging sounds are off, and that they sound more like a gun, a machine gun and a "sick bird." Eventually, Garfield couldn't take it anymore and he bursts out in laughter.
Charming as that was, it's Emma Stone who wins this round.
"It's like a dream to work with him," she said about boyfriend Garfield to "Good Morning America." "He's obviously one of the greatest actors I think we have alive today, and he's also just a remarkable human being, so I love him very much."
Here's hoping she makes an appearance on Saturday's SNL.
