A Drag Race fan has infiltrated the Saturday Night Live writer’s room, and this time, Aquaman’s Jason Momoa is stripping to RuPaul’s “Freaky Money.”
Ever since Chris Pine slipped into an auto mechanic’s jumpsuit to lip sync for his life, Drag Race references have popped up on the long-running sketch show, in big ways and small.
Using “Freaky Money”, which features Big Freedia, is just one more subtle way SNL has managed to draw from Ru’s extensive catalog.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But there’s absolutely nothing subtle about the skit itself, titled “An Extra Christmas Carol”, which finds Momoa playing a stripping Christmas spirit who’s “extra.”
How extra is it, you’re surely asking?
Watch below and find out:
Moama was hosting to promote Aquaman, which arrives in theaters December 21.
He teased the gig on Instagram by stepping out of the shower and touring NBC studios:

IF ONLY THE TOWEL HAD FALLEN OFF GOING DOWN THE HALL. AND A THRONG WOULD HAVE WORKED IN THE SANTA CLAUS SNL SKIT.

I must point out the intro from SNL is wrong as usual. Scrooge is visited by four ghosts that evening, not just three. In addition to the various versions of Father Christmas, his partner Jacob Marley visits, as Scrooge himself states.
Also, Momoa removes what is clearly a robe in the skit, thus removes a robe to show a much smaller cape.

Jason Momoa’s a snack. He wasn’t naked on SNL, though.

Well, that was a lot less than promised.

I saw the entire episode and I have to say it was WAY better than I thought. I actually thought booking him on SNL would be more than he could chew but he pulled it off.

Why not. He’s pretty much a veteran to Hollywood. I remember him on Stargate Atlantis, game of thrones, and now of course Aquaman.

why wouldn’t he “pulled it off”? he’s not just a hot man, you know. he’s good at his job.
