Ana de Armas is all set to host the upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live” on April 15, but her co-star from “Knives Out” and “Ghosted,” Chris Evans, seems to have cold feet about the idea of hosting the show. In an interview with ET Canada, Evans revealed that he has been avoiding hosting “SNL” for years now as the idea of doing so terrifies him.
“I’ve avoided hosting ‘SNL’ like the plague for years now just because I’m so scared. It’s terrifying to me,” he said. However, Evans is open to making a cameo appearance on the show. “A cameo sounds great, that’s perfect. In and out… get your toes wet,” he added.
