In June 2022, Harvey's father [Steve Harvey](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2022/05/19/steve-harvey-celebrates-black-music-month-songs-every-moment/9820390002/) announced on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show" the couple had split. When Jordan pointed out her not-so-subtle wardrobe, she replied: “Sorry, I was just taking a walk around the studio, and I threw this on. Jordan may not need to be on the celebrity dating app Raya for long.

Michael B. Jordan made his 'Saturday Night Live' hosting debut and the cast members were all over him.

Then at the end, Punkie Johnson came in telling the night’s host he “looked fine as ever as always.” Jordan then reminded Johnson that she was gay to which she said, “I am but you’re Michael B. Chloe Fineman came in and said she was single but Jordan reminded her she was dating “that hot writer,” to which she responded, “Not if you’re available.” Closing his monologue Jordan said, “I just want to say, I’m so grateful to be standing on this stage. He said that most people say they will get in shape, but since he had just filmed the movie he was “in Creed shape” already. Jordan poked fun at himself saying, “I’m pretty sure I hit puberty mid-howl.” The Friday Night Lights alum then recalled that he went through his very first public breakup shortly after directing his first movie Creed III.

Jordan stands as one of the most talented actors of his generation and a modern movie star that he channeled into sketch comedy success. Following last week ...

The best sketch of the night - It will be interesting to see who the union negotiations with the post production workers who passed an authorization for a potential strike. The MVP of the episode was the host once again. Comparing Trump’s potential return to Facebook with Jurassic Park, connecting Swifties protesting at Congress with their insurrectionist fathers, or crafting a joke connecting TikTok with reproductive rights in the state of Texas, “Weekend Update” demonstrated a path to relevancy for SNL again. Sometimes the chemistry between a cast member and a host shines through on SNL. He radiated charisma and commitment throughout the show. The entire sketch rested on out-of-date references and cultural confusion between the titular Towel Guys and American tourists at a Dominican resort. The contrasts between the two created comedy. “Towel Guys” was a sketch that suffers from purpose and specificity. Jordan transformed from charming to sinister with ease and Mikey Day captured the paranoia of a man fearful of being replaced superbly. Jordan stands as one of the most talented actors of his generation and a modern movie star that he channeled into sketch comedy success. From sketch to sketch, Jordan exuded ‘it’ factor even when it was clear that he was not working with the best material.

Michael B. Jordan gets some love from the ladies of Saturday Night Live in his opening monologue where he discusses Creed 3 and his recent break-up.

It started with Chloe Fineman flirting with Jordan and when he asked about her boyfriend she made it clear that he'd be the exception. But the news of his break up is one that fans clung to because if there is one thing we know about Jordan it is that people love him. Like no matter how much he cries and is sad on the internet if you type in "sad Michael Jordan" in Google, the first thousands of results all pull up a picture of Michael Jordan crying instead of the actor.

The Creed star is a fine, if unspectacular, host for an episode that covers everything from FBI searches to Southwest airlines.

Despite a few chuckle-worthy moments, it makes for a paltry end to the show. The best sketch of the episode by a wide margin. Things grow increasingly dark, and soon we’re watching a dangerous stranger erotic thriller of the kind we used to get in the 90s. After helping a young family out with their policy, he sticks around, worming his way into their lives much to the chagrin of the jealous husband. A commercial for Southwest sees the airline apologize for stranding thousands of fliers over the holidays. Jordan talks about a recent breakup and fends off the ferocious advances of several members of the cast, including Ego Nwodim in a full wedding gown and Punkie B Johnson, who may be gay, but is also “Punkie B Curious.”.

Michael B. Jordan lets his guard down in an especially goofy episode. A recap and review of season 48, episode eleven of 'Saturday Night Live.'

Also: No shade to Please Don’t Destroy, the trio who have written some of the best sketches of the last few years (and may well have had a hand in this), but it’s fun to see a weirdo pretend-behind-the-scenes filmed piece that isn’t confined to a single office. • Is Chloe Fineman, per her appearance in the monologue, really dating a “hot writer,” and, if so, is that supposed to be an SNL writer? This is not a sophisticated sketch, but it’s mostly funny to see Gardner, queen of the outsized and weirdly accented character, do plenty of discomfiting baby-bump acting and nearly crack up Sarah Sherman by putting a firehose in her face. SNL recappers love to point out when certain tired formats get reused, so it’s only fair for me to point out that the format of janky local commercial that turns into a hyper-specific rant almost always slays me. She returns, for what we can only assume is a happy ending, reuniting with her old flame (and her husband Tommy’s in-ring opponent/assailant) Adonis Creed. Jordan has never done a good comedy, doesn’t seem to have one on the docket anytime soon, and is a big enough deal that he seems unlikely to become a five-timer anytime soon. That explains why following a standard cast-swoons-for-hot-host monologue, he immediately jumps into the heavy facial distortion of a [Sarah Sherman](https://www.vulture.com/article/sarah-sherman-snl-profile.html) sketch. The world of voiceover is a low-key source of fascination for the SNL writers; it’s not quite as frequent a go-to as game shows, talk shows, or commercial sets, but it’s getting there. (For these purposes, That Awkward Moment does not count as a comedy because it plays like someone trying to perform downtime in a Judd Apatow movie from memory.) So with old-fashioned star power comes an old-fashioned episode of SNL, with the majority of sketches aimed straight at throwing Michael B. Jordan’s star persona isn’t necessarily the intensely self-serious Method actor (he doesn’t have Jared Leto vibes), but now that he mentions it, he hasn’t done much comedy apart from putting a charismatically funny spin on a few Black Panther lines and doing a walk-on gag in an otherwise horrible Space Jam sequel. [Creed](https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/creed-ii-review.html), [Black Panther](https://www.vulture.com/2018/02/black-panther-review.html), [Just Mercy](https://www.vulture.com/2019/12/just-mercy-movie-review-michael-b-jordan-and-jamie-foxx.html)) and the films where it hardens into killing-machine tedium (see [Without Remorse](https://www.vulture.com/article/movie-review-without-remorse-starring-michael-b-jordan.html)).

Michael be vulnerable. “Hey, Michael,” repertory player Chloe Fineman said. Michael be joking.
