-Welcome back. I'm so happy you're back.

I want to talk to you about so many things.

I cannot wait for people to see "Aquaman."

You did -- It was un-- [ Cheers and applause ]

It's gonna crush.

I would go see it in IMAX if I had the choice

because it is so visually stunning.

-It's amazing. -It's really great.

I want to get into that.

I just want to say thanks again for coming back.

I don't know if you remember the last time you came here.

You were great. We had a fun time.

-Absolutely. -We played a game.

-Water Wars. -We played Water War.

-You wanted to go against Aquaman in Water Wars, yeah.

-I got to say, I had no idea how strong you are.

[ Laughter ]

The game is, you play the card game "War"

and the loser gets water thrown in their face.

To have this man throw a glass of water --

I just want -- Can we just look at the first time when I lost?

-[ Grunts ]

-That's fine. [ Laughter ]

Watch the second time when I lost the second time.

Watch this thing.

-What?!

-Oh! [ Laughter ]

-Dude, it sounded like a -- Dude, it sounded like --

It sounded like someone slapped a ham or something.

It sounded like you smacked me with water.

Can we see it in slow motion because I don't even know

if anyone can realize how, like --

[ Laughter ]

I've never seen that happen.

I almost -- I almost drowned.

I almost drowned.

That's my drowning face,

and then the third one, you just gave me the triple --

Look at the third one.

-Oh!

[ Cheers and applause ]

-I have so many people come up to me, and they're just like,

"That is the greatest thing you ever did."

They loved it.

-Dude, it's the funniest thing ever. I was like --

I haven't played since because my face is numb, still.

[ Laughter ]

How is "Saturday Night Live" going?

I'm so happy you're hosting "Saturday Night Live."

-It's the dream. Ever since last time I was here

I just was so stoked to take my kids so they could see it,

and now a year later --

-You're hosting. -I'm hosting.

I'm up there right now rehearsing.

It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

It's so intense.

-They love you. I heard the feedback.

-It's the dream.

-You're a big fan of the show. -Huge, man.

-We talked about it. -My whole life.

Yeah, like, they are my heroes.

I love the show and it's, like, I just want to be a part.

Just to be honored to be around the cast

and just be a part of it.

Hosting, I just love it so much. -No, you have to be in it now.

-I know, but it's amazing. -Really?

And you love the pieces so far

they're writing for you and everything?

-Yeah, yeah.

I mean, we did the whole Tuesday thing and now it's done.

-Yeah, isn't it great? -Yeah, it's unbelievable.

-So Thursday is -- -Right now we're rehearsing.

-Blocking, right? -Yeah, blocking into the promos.

-Dude, it's so great. I already love the promos, it's great.

I'm so happy for you, dude. Congrats.

Let's talk "Aquaman." -Yeah.

-Dude, I mean, last time we saw you it was "Justice League."

We just saw -- you know, we saw you in that.

This is your own movie.

This is all you, the whole -- This is like an origin story.

-Yeah, a beautiful origin story. We start when I'm a little boy,

but it kind of picks up for my character

right after "Justice League"

and he's going home to see his father and the world is in peril

And I have to kind of pull the two worlds together,

land and sea.

-Who directed this? -James Wan.

-Man. How do you even do that because it's clearly

you can't -- you're not underwater breathing.

-No, yeah, we're, like --

-Because your hair -- -We're like puppets.

It's like little strings and they hold us

and they put us all over in these little --

-But your hair is flowing in the water and --

-Nah, it's like slicked back

with little polka dots all over it

and it's all CG'd and they make it look like we're underwater.

-You're kidding me.

-Yeah, my beard's like that. It looks weird.

-No way! -It's not a good look.

It's hard to act against, you know what I mean?

-Yeah, exactly, right? -Creepy.

-But that's bizarre.

Anyway, it's such a well-done movie.

-Yeah. -Congrats on that.

I wanted to show everyone a clip.

Here's Jason Momoa in "Aquaman." Take a look at this.

There are too many of them! -Come on. Get inside.

They're from the depths. They're scared of the light.

You ready to jump?

-I mean, visually. [ Cheers and applause ]

What more do you want?

What more do you want out of a movie than that?

It's visually stunning. It's great.

You're fantastic in it.

I have -- I brought a little something,

a little memento from the film.

Yeah. [ Laughter ]

Do you -- this is the exact one you used in the film.

[ Laughter ]

Yeah, I think so, yeah.

This is great.

[ Laughter ]

That part -- that scene when you do that, it's great.

Do you have one of these? At home?

-Yeah, I got four of them, but they're not the child's toys.

This is a child's toy.

[ Audience oohs ]

Give me my real one!

-Really? You want to bring it on?

I'm afraid right now.

Okay, when we come back,

there's some real tridents when we come back.

Jason and I go head-to-head in a trident-throwing contest.

Everybody stick around.
