JJ Watts on SNL

Houstonoilers — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 16:50:58 GMT

He was the host this past Saturday. He did an outstanding job even delivering a comic monologue. I couldn't believe that a football player would be that poised on a show like SNL. One of the skits he was in:

I haven't watched SNL since back in the Not Ready For Prime Time days,

but when I saw that JJ was hosting, I had to copy it. Haven't watched yet.

@Houstonoilers off topic, but may I ask about your username?

I take it you were a Love Ya Blue fan back in the day, as I was?

JJ is a great humanitarian & player. I’d love to see Gronk host

I have avoided SNL for years for lots of reasons but tuned in to see JJ since he is on my hometown team. I thought he was great. Maybe he'll move into acting after his football career.

I so agree on JJ. Was so surprised at how good he was. He was exceptionally poised and delivered his lines so well. He was in almost every sketch. Most guest hosts don't appear in that many. Cute guy, too. : )

I don't follow football and had no idea who he was, so I was pleasantly surprised. He did a great job and the sketches were mostly funny.

I really enjoyed the Oil of BrOlay, Madden 21, and Robbie sketches he was in.

I didn't know of this guy before because I don't follow football. I was very impressed with his poise & comic abilities!

What some of the others said - didn’t know who he was other than he was a football player. Was also very surprised at how good he was - very engaging. Pretty decent show.

I thought he did a great job. He was very poised and was a natural. Maybe after his football career is over, he can have a second career in Hollywood!

I'll have to watch this on demand. I love JJ Watt, have so much admiration for the kind of person he is. For those of you who don't know he raised a ton of money after Hurricane Harvey, over 40 million I believe. Started the campaign himself online.

A role model and good guy of the NFL.

I can totally see him doing some hosting after his football career like Michael Strahan and Jesse Palmer

I did not know who he was (no surprise, I don't watch sports), but I agree he did a good job for someone not in "the business". However, I found all of the skits just really poor humor and fast-forwarded through most of it. SNL just isn't what it used to be and I watch it mostly out of habit any more, and hoping that there will be a new breakout talent.

I didn't catch much of the show as that is past my bedtime but what I had at least one eye open he is a natural for whatever his calling may be after football. I also thank him for all the incredible charity work he has done and I am sure will continue to do. God bless young man!

I love SNL, it always makes me laugh and that is a good thing! I enjoyed JJ Watts in his skits, he was very entertaining and I hope he comes back for a second appearance!!!!

JJ did a good job and was most enjoyable.

I wish they would bring back Peyton Manning to host the show. He did an outstanding job and had a real flair for comedy.
