Stand-up comedian John Mulaney is more accustomed to performing as himself than in-character, but his third hosting gig at SNL over the weekend had him stepping into the role of a lifetime: Sailor Twink.

The sketch is set up as a clip from a ’50s film titled Say, Those Two Don’t Seem to Like Each Other, pitting Kate McKinnon against Aidy Bryant as they vie for the romantic favor of Beck Bennett.
