Actor Glen Powell brought a heartwarming and humorous moment to “Saturday Night Live” when he invited a UPS driver, named Mitch, to join him during his opening monologue. Powell, best known for films like “The Running Man” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” shared a personal story about how this unexpected friendship began four years earlier. At that time, he had originally been chosen to host “SNL,” and the UPS driver happened to be delivering a package when Powell received the exciting news.

Glen Powell explained that he and his family were so happy about the hosting opportunity that they took a selfie with Mitch to remember the moment. But soon after, the COVID pandemic delayed the release of “Top Gun: Maverick,” and because of that, “SNL” canceled Powell’s appearance. Powell joked that producer Lorne Michaels told him that without the movie’s release, “no one would know who” he was. As a result, the UPS driver believed Powell had lied about hosting the show.

When Powell finally got a new invitation to host “SNL,” he decided it was the perfect time to fix the misunderstanding. He told the audience that his sisters worked hard to track down the UPS driver. They eventually found his phone number, and Powell called him personally. Mitch at first thought the call was a scam, but he agreed to come to New York. Powell then revealed that Mitch was sitting in the audience, surprising viewers.
During the monologue, Powell invited Mitch onto the stage, and the two took another selfie this time on live television. The moment felt special both for Powell and for fans watching at home. It tied together their first meeting from four years earlier with Powell finally achieving his chance to host the famous show.
