Paul Rudd is all set to host Saturday Night Live again and as the actor joins the "five timers club." Ahead of the new episode releasing o December 18, the actor appeared in a new promo along with Charlie XCX who is set to be the musical guest for the evening. The actor who was recently crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive 2021 in the funny SNL promo spoke about his 'bizarre' Christmas wish. 

The Ghostbusters: Afterlife star appeared alongside Charli XCX and SNL cast member Ego Nwodim in the promo where he first made a joke about getting an entry into the 'five timers club' of SNL's hosts. He said, "No, no no. I was just arrested for the fifth time this week."

Further on, Rudd is asked to reveal his Christmas wish by Ego to which he says, "It's so bizarre and so utterly horrifying that if I say it out loud you two might never look at me the same."

In another promo, the actor hilariously also couldn't pronounce the name of the Charlie XCX after repeatedly getting it wrong.
