Episode Details

Tom Holland reveals he’s turned down multiple hosting gigs on Saturday Night Live because of his dyslexia — the dreaded cue cards send him into panic mode. While he’s a seasoned performer and loves live TV, the pressure of reading lines on the fly, especially with last-minute script changes, makes him freeze. He’s found success memorizing lines in advance, but SNL’s unpredictable nature is too much to overcome. Despite his hesitation, he’s thrilled by the idea of hosting — and Poehler reassures him that even less-prepared hosts have pulled it off. Holland’s not alone — Whoopi Goldberg and Channing Tatum have hosted successfully despite dyslexia, proving it’s possible — but for now, the cue cards remain his biggest obstacle.
