Glen Powell’s SNL Promo Channels Walken, Goes Viral Ahead of Debut

New York, NY — Glen Powell‘s upcoming debut as a host on Saturday Night Live has taken the internet by storm, thanks to a hilarious promo that showcases his impressive take on Christopher Walken‘s famous “Weapon of Choice” dance.

The promo has already gone viral, with Powell dancing his way through Studio 8H, captivating fans who eagerly await his SNL episode on November 15. In the clip, Powell hears music coming from a cleaning cart and decides to channel chaos rather than simply walk by.

While most actors might ignore the tune, Powell slides, struts, and even attempts a daring flip, evoking Walken’s signature moves. “If gravity had any say, he’d be the first to fly,” one fan remarked, praising Powell’s energetic performance.

Powell’s tribute to Walken is not merely imitation; it is a commendation of a cultural icon. Known for hosting SNL seven times and memorable sketches such as the “More Cowbell” skit, Walken’s influence looms large over comedy.

“The promo made me feel like I was watching an art piece—his devotion to Walken’s energy is something else,” said longtime fan Lisa Green. Many comments on social media similarly declared Powell’s performance as “achieving Walken energy.”

As the anticipation for his SNL appearance grows, Powell himself seems ready. Posting the promo clip, he reflected humorously: “Spy Kids 3D finally paid off,” highlighting his earlier career in film.

The excitement has led fans to speculate about what will happen during the episode, with requests for impressions, dancing, and Walken references being thrown around. Glen Powell’s SNL hosting gig is set to be a memorable one, and many believe he’s already earned his place in the Five-Timers Club.
