Josh Brolintook it all off onSaturday Night Live!
TheDune: Part Twostar, 56, stripped down to his underwear during his opening monologue on Saturday, as he compared hosting the late-night comedy sketch series to taking a cold plunge bath.
“You know I’ve been doing cold plunges for 20 years, right?” Brolin asked audience members and viewers watching at home as he started unbuttoning his shirt. “And the only thing I can compare this show to is that. I mean, hosting is like jumping into an ice bath.”
As a crew member brought out a tin bathtub filled with cold water on stage, Brolin took off his shirt and jacket, sparking cheers from the in-studio audience.
“Scary, it’s exhilarating, your penis is in your stomach,” Brolin explained, adding, “There’s just no way to prepare for it,” as he took off his pants.
“So what you gotta do is just jump right in!” he then exclaimed. “Surrender to the discomfort!”
“You ready for this?” Brolin next asked the audience, as they cheered in response, prompting him to step into the bathtub.
“I am inevitable!” the actor then shouted, referring to the iconic phrase his character Thanos says in the filmAvengers: Infinity War.

Elsewhere in his opening monologue, Brolin reflected on his last time hosting the show back in 2012. “I love being here,” the actor said. “You know, it’s been 12 years since I last hosted and I’ve missed this place. I mean so much has changed … not really it’s the same,” he joked.
“… The first time I hosted was in 2008, [the] musical guest was someone I’d never heard of before …Adele,” Brolin recalled of his time hosting alongside the singer.

Brolin then poked fun at a poem he’d written in dedication to hisDunecostarTimothée Chalamet, as he said that he dabbled in writing poetry in the years since he last hostedSNL.
“I wrote an apparently super creepy poem about Timothée Chalamet. But I don’t think it’s creepy,” Brolin explained. “But you be the judge. Lights!”
The actor added, “I mean it’s weird yeah but, no, I don’t wanna sleep with [Chalamet]. I write poem’s about everyone I work with,” before reciting a second poem aboutSNLstarKenan Thompson.
