Even the Saturday Night Live writers can’t stop thinking about the Roman Empire.
The sketch show took advantage of a viral TikTok trend where users ask the men in their lives how often they think of the Roman Empire, with the help of host Jason Momoa.
The sketch opens with Momoa sitting forlorn on a bed as his partner sings behind him, wondering what’s on his mind.
Along with Kenan Thompson and Mikey Day, whose partners also wish they knew what was going on inside their mans’ heads. Luckily, the answer is much more simple than they might have though. Inside their heads, they’re rapping about ancient Rome and all of its accomplishments.
“Roman Empire! Ancient Rome! Five times a day it pops into my dome,” Momoa sings, clad in full gladiator armor. “Which reminds me, they invented the dome. Just one of the reasons that I think about Rome.”

The Roman Empire trend has been circulating the internet for a few months now, but it makes perfect sense why SNL would wait for someone like Momoa to take a stab at it. The actor looks like he would fit right in with his beard and the gleaming gold armor.
The sketch also takes a stab at pondering what women and children think about too. According to SNL, the ladies are constantly thinking about astrology (which Momoa points out the Romans had a hand in), while kids are all about dinosaurs.

In his new memoir, “When I Was Your Age: Life Lessons, Funny Stories & Questionable Parenting Advice From a Professional Clown,” the comedian, 45, confessed that his “SNL” beginnings were “marred by a ton of rookie mistakes.”When Thompson started on “SNL” in 2003, his confidence “sunk to an all-time low” when he “tanked” a sketch written by T.

Saturday Night Live poked fun at Imagine Dragons at the weekend with a parody band that had an uncanny resemblance to them.In the show’s ‘Weekend Update’ segment, host Colin Jost introduced the show’s “back-up musical guests” in the form of Remember Lizards – not to be confused with Imagine Dragons apparently – played by Andrew Dismukes and James Austin Johnson. The parody band acknowledged their similarity with the band and said their music was “a similar genre”, describing it as “uplifting kid friendly hip hop slash arena rock with a pump up edge.”However, in a comedic move to separate themselves from the real Imagine Dragons, they clarified that the Dan Reynolds-fronted band is “Christian-curious,” while Remember Lizards is “decidedly Christian.”Remember Lizards then performed snippets of a parody song, ‘Chemical (Poison)’ which sounded notably like Imagine Dragons’ own hit ‘Believer’.
