The 47-year-old The Last of Us Actor is hosting the popular late night show alongside musical guest Coldplay.

For his first debut on the stage, he delivered the opening monologue. During it, he joked about his HBO show, comparing the experience to what it is like filming The White Lotus, and talked about his family in Chile.

“I spent the last year shooting a show called The Last of Us on HBO. Some HBO shows you get to shoot in a 5-star Italian resort surrounded by beautiful people. But I said no, that’s too easy,” he said. “I want to shoot in a freezing Canadian forest while being chased around by a guy whose head looks like a genital wart.”

Pedro shouted out his 34 first cousins in Chile. “They’re very proud of me. I know they’re proud because they give my phone number to every single they know,” he claimed.

The actor also talked about his voice from The Mandalorian, which he said sounds “porny” without his mask.

His turn hosting comes after Aubrey Plaza and Michael B. Jordan welcomed the show back from its holiday break. They were joined by Sam Smith and Lil Baby, respectively.
