Momoa tosses his hat into the empty audience and twirls when cast memberEgo Nwodimsneaks up behind him with a puzzled look on her face — right as he silently thrusts towards the stage.
“Ego, I’m so happy to be back!” Momoa shouts with a big smile on his face.

“Yeah, hey, we love you, you just can’t be wearing your underwear,” Nwodim responds, gesturing to his nude bottom half, which appears pixelated on the screen. “This is a workplace.”
“No!” he sighs. “I’m sorry. When I get excited, I forget my pants.”
When Nwodim suggests they go and find Momoa some clothes to wear, the actor gets a sly look on his face and yells, “No chance!”

Turning back around to the stage with glee, he resumes his slow motion dance and spots featured player, Marcello Hernandez, walking with a script in hand.
He screams out his name and the two embrace before Momoa lifts him up into his arms.
