--- --- # Watch Norman Reedus and His Crossbow Crash _SNL_'s Weekend Update by [Adam Carlson / PEOPLE](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Adam Carlson / PEOPLE Contributor Apr 6, 2015 12:30 AM UTC by [Adam Carlson / PEOPLE](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Adam Carlson / PEOPLE Contributor Apr 6, 2015 12:30 AM UTC After surviving [another season of undead mayhem](http://www.people.com/article/walking-dead-finale-recap-conquer-season-5-episode-16-wolves), _The Walking Dead_‘s Daryl Dixon, played by [Norman Reedus](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:NormanReedus,00.html), took on a new kind of enemy during this week’s _Saturday Night Live_: stoners. _SNL_‘s resident young person Pete Davidson learned the hard way that smoking weed can be bad for your health when he showed up to Weekend Update to recap the _Walking Dead_ finale for co-host Colin Jost. After a minutes-long spiel about the coming apocalypse (and jawbreakers), Jost assured Davidson that he was just being paranoid – he’d never really be mistaken for a zombie. And then – bam! In goes an arrow through Davidson’s chest and in walks a crossbow-wielding Reedus, having seemingly slayed the shuffling comedian before him. And while Reedus quickly learned that Studio 8H _wasn’t_ overrun by the undead (sorry, dude in the elevator), all was well: Davidson didn’t feel much pain, despite the chest wound; and he was happy to share his, um, medicine with his new zombie-slaying friend.
