## Transcript

It was Dwayne, the Rock, Johnson's fourth time hosting Saturday Night Live. And he showed why he's been invited back so many times. You like Israel? Yes! Oh, maybe you should go visit Israel. Aah! The Rock Obama made a return as the show's opening skit. The Furious 7 actor donned his macho manliness throughout the night. Though none of his roles may have been funnier than his Bambi impression. Now it's time for them to pay. [ LAUGH ] Dearly. The SNL gang also parodied a Starbucks race together campaign, an initiative that had Starbucks employees talk with customers about racial issues in America.

Instead of Starbucks and race issues, tough, SNL went with Pep Boys employees talking gender issues. If you're a guy and you want to be a girl, that's great. But me personally? [ MUSIC ] I could never cut off my [ INAUDIBLE ]. George Ezra graced the stage as the musical guest, singing Budapest and Blame it on Me. Birdman star Michael Keeton hosts next week with Carlie Rae Jepsen as a musical guest.
