There’s nothing Queen Regina King can’t do, that’s including hosting Saturday Night Live which she did for the first time. The Oscar-winning actor and new director notes that “if you’re black, you probably know me from being in some of your favorite movies, and if you’re white you probably know me from Watchmen – or this monologue right now.”
Check out some of the best sketches from the night.
