Pedro Pascal has finally made it to the Studio 8H stage!
The 47-year-old actor made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live over the weekend alongside musical guest Coldplay – and had everyone (including himself) bursting into laughter throughout the night.

It was such a sweet and sincere moment to watch (below):
