Jason Bateman Reveals He Was Almost Attacked by a Chimp When He Hosted 'SNL' in 2005 - Watch!

Jason Bateman is hosting Saturday Night Live once again!

The 51-year-old Ozark actor returned to host the sketch show on Saturday (December 5) for the first time in 15 years.

During his monologue, Jason looked back on hosting the show in 2005, and talked about being in a sketch with a chimp.

In his monologue, Jason revealed that the chimp tried to bite his face during the end credits.

“They hate that humans have faces and they want to remove them,” Jason jokingly recalled, before sharing footage from the 2005 episode where the chimp went in to bite Jason‘s nose.

“I am smiling but inside I’m thinking a monkey just attacked me and nobody cares,” Jason remembered. “They’re just hugging.”

He then showed another angle from that night, where you can see former cast members like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Seth Meyers smiling and hugging, completely unaware of what just happened to Jason.

Jason Bateman Knows the Ending of 'Ozark'!

Jason Bateman is teasing the end of Ozark!

The 51-year-old actor knows what’s in store for the fourth and final season of the Netflix drama, he confirmed in an interview with IndieWire.

Jason, who is not directing episodes of Season 4 and does not write the series, spoke about what’s coming next.

“I do know where everything is going to end,” he confirmed.

“The specifics leading up to it, I didn’t really grind him on. But I was interested in the big question he has the opportunity to answer: Are they going to get away with it, or are they going to pay a bill? What does he want to message to the audience about the consequences of what the Byrdes have done — or lack thereof? We had some great conversations about that, and he’s got really good ideas about that. Specifically, what kind of happens at the end of the last episode: I know, and it’s great.”

Jason Bateman is also on board to produce this highly anticipated movie…
