The series stars Pedro Pascal, who has just made his debut as a Saturday Night Live host. It was an opportunity too good to pass up – so this happened.

“A little guy in a cloud comes and uses a fishing pole to put you back on the road.”
The SNL Twitter account shared it, and it even got the seal of approval from Naughty Dog, who made the game.
