Alexander Skarsgard Pretends to Have Saxophone Skills During 'SNL' Monologue (Spoiler: He Doesn't!)

Alexander Skarsgard is hosting this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live and he pretended to have musical skills during his opening monologue.

While opening the show on Saturday (January 31), the 49-year-old Pillion actor said that when he was growing up, his favorite part about the monologue was always watching the musicians in the background.

Well, Alex decided to feature the musicians for his whole monologue!

At one point, Alex picked up the saxophone and pretended to play, but it was pretty clear that he wasn’t. He kept taking his mouth off the instrument and the sound kept playing, but he kept up the act until the monologue was over.
