Willem Dafoe gets intense as he predicts hosting SNL will be the best night of his life
Scrolling through the actor's IMDb page for hints about Dafoe's comedy style is little help

Sometimes, Saturday Night Live’s host is such a seeming mismatch of tones and expectations that it becomes appointment viewing. You know, if only to see if Willem Dafoe’s signature brand of crazy-eyed intensity will mesh with 90 minutes of knockabout sketch comedy. Thus we prepare for a Willem Dafoe-hosted SNL by running through just which of the acclaimed actor’s roles is ripe for some SNL-style, impression-heavy parody.
Could it his terrifying thug Bobby Peru, from Wild At Heart? Or his terrifying lighthouse keeper from The Lighthouse? Or how about his terrifying, finger-lopping thug from The Grand Budapest Hotel? Nobody’s ready for an Antichrist SNL sketch—honestly, the entire Lars von Trier oeuvre is probably out. Dafoe was uncharacteristically sort of lovely and not-upsetting in The Florida Project, but that seems unlikely, too. (That said, a sketch where Willem Dafoe plays the nicest, sweetest, most un-crazy psycho in the room might be a way to go.)
Dafoe’s long and convoluted history with the Spider-Verse is the most likely candidate for an SNL goof, especially if there are any of the untold screen Spiders-Men swinging around New York on show day.
