Ep 21. Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the host of the 21st episode of the 42nd season of Saturday Night Live. The episode begins with a skit where Dwayne plays a wrestling coach giving a pep talk to a losing team. He gives an inspiring speech filled with typical Dwayne Johnson catchphrases and ends by body-slamming one of the players to get him fired up. The skit sets the tone for the rest of the show, which is filled with Dwayne's signature charisma and humor.

Throughout the episode, Dwayne appears in several sketches that play to his strengths as an actor and entertainer. In one skit, he plays an over-the-top action hero in a fake movie trailer, complete with explosions and dramatic music. In another, he plays a dad hosting a party for his teenage daughter's friends, trying to connect with them by speaking in their slang and awkwardly dancing to popular music.

Dwayne's physical fitness is also on display in several sketches, including one where he plays a "fitting room guy" who helps customers try on clothes in a department store. He uses his muscles to hilariously awkward effect, accidentally ripping clothes and causing chaos in the store.

Musical guest Katy Perry performs two songs during the episode, including her hit single "Chained to the Rhythm." Dwayne joins her on stage for a brief dance-off during one of the performances, showcasing his dance skills and sense of humor.

Perhaps the most memorable sketch of the episode is a pre-taped segment called "World's Most Evil Invention," in which Dwayne plays the CEO of a tech company unveiling a new product. The product, called "The Infinity Gauntlet," is a glove that gives its wearer control over the entire universe. Dwayne's character uses the gauntlet to do things like create a world without gluten, eliminate traffic, and force people to tell him he's handsome. The sketch is a hilarious nod to Dwayne's recent role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the character of the same name.

Overall, the episode is a fun and entertaining showcase for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's talent and humor. He brings his larger-than-life personality to each sketch and the musical performances from Katy Perry add extra energy to the show. Fans of Saturday Night Live and Dwayne Johnson alike are sure to enjoy this episode.
