I have to say especially during this time of year. I love Christmas. It&#8217;s my favorite holiday,&#8221; Driver shared from the iconic Studio 8H stage. &#8220;The food, the music, the family. But largely, it&#8217;s because I have a very deep and personal relationship with Santa.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Driver &#8212; who has established a track record for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VEvAUeq8Z7o&amp;ab_channel=SaturdayNightLive\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">very free-form, charismatically laid-back <em>SNL<\/em> monologues <\/a><span>&#8212; explained, &#8220;Every year, I make my Christmas list and I tell it to him. It&#8217;s kind of our ritual. Usually I do it in private, but since we&#8217;re here and I know Santa watches <\/span><em><span>SNL.<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0He hasn&#8217;t liked it since Kattan left. But if you don&#8217;t mind, I would like to make my Christmas list right now, if that&#8217;s OK.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Taking a seat at a grand piano &#8212; ostensibly because &#8220;the piano is part of the ritual&#8221; &#8212; Driver broke down his list for Santa, and addressed the jolly gentleman directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Hey, Santa! It&#8217;s me, Adam Driver. From the nice list. And also <\/span><em><span>Girls<\/span><\/em><span>. I turn 40 this year, Santa. So I would like five pairs of chinos,&#8221; Driver shared. &#8220;I also want one of those giant metal Tesla trucks. I think it would pair perfectly with my teeny tiny micro penis.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Oh, and I would like people to stop coming up to me on the street saying, &#8216;You killed Han Solo.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t kill him. Wokeness killed Han Solo,&#8221; Driver continued. &#8220;What else do I want? Oh, you know those TikToks that&#8217;s like those couples that do pranks on each other? Can you kill those people?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The list continued, as Driver got goofy, sharing, &#8220;You know what I want for Christmas is a gingerbread house. Do you think a gingerbread man gets scared when he realizes the house is made of his own skin? That&#8217;s a cute one. You can tell your kids that one.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I should also say, another thing I love about Christmas is eggnog. It&#8217;s my favorite way to have eggs. Whenever I go to a diner and they say, &#8216;How would you like your eggs?&#8217; I say nogged,&#8221; Driver said, wrapping up the shenanigans. &#8220;OK, Santa, thank you for listening. I look forward to you breaking into my house.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Driver &#8212; who was joined by musical guest Olivia Rodrigo &#8212; hosted one week after Emma Stone&#8217;s fifth time hosting, which meant she spent her monologue getting inducted into the Five-Timers&#8217; Club.
