Jason Mamoa was freaking hilarious in pretty much every sketch he appeared in. He really does seem like a very cool and talented guy, and not full of himself the way you might think a former Baywatch model/actor might be. He's one of the proverbial "good ones", who worked his way up through the ranks of celebrity the hard/best way!

Because sometime a few years back the show's writers forgot how to write anything that wasn't just a political attack skit. Even if you agree with their position that just becomes unfunny pretty quick. This bit just goes to show they can actually still manage to do some funny stuff when they put that crap aside for five seconds.
