Pedro Pascal Monologue - SNL 

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is SO relatable to hear him talk about that.

If the CIA hadn't assassinated the Democratically elected President (Salvator Allende) in his country 1973 and installed the Terrorist General Pinochet -his family wouldn't have had to flee Chile and immigrate here (and he wouldn't be a big actor hosting Saturday Night Live! )

They came for that American dream. They were lucky because for most, it's just a dream.

To be fair, they also fled their country because of the American supported far-right coup. His parents were socialists and supporters of Allende, they would have likely been killed.

Me too... So genuine 💛

Somebody started cutting onions here.

He’s a real treasure. So humble, I feel like if a fan met him that was not being rude and obnoxious he would probably be very gracious and kind.

Last time my wife and I were like this was the last episode of the Mandalorian. Damn Pedro knows how to pull on heart strings!!!

Pinochet was a brutal leader in Chile. He ordered the torture of thousands and thousands of citizens for not having the same views that he demanded the people have. And the death toll/people missing is well over 3,000 souls. Those were people that Pinochet's government arrested and brutally tortured and murdered for Pinochet's political gain. When he said his parents took him and his sister out of the country "fleeing Pinochet" - he was acknowledging that his parents risked their very lives to ensure he and his sister had a better life. I can see why he got choked up - the trail of dead bodies pinochet left was staggering. Sting wrote a song about pinochet's deadly rule. The song is called: "They Dance Alone" - gut wrenching.

And really funny in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent!

Let's not forget "Narcos"

And by far the best thing about WW1984

@@cyrollan dude I still need to see that movie

Seriously. He’s so good! ❤

Same!!! I was like, welp we know who speaks Spanish in the house tonight

The beauty of NYC❤

I have really enjoyed the characters he has played. His character Obryn Martell in Game of Thrones was my favorite in the whole show after Tyrion. I really liked the Mandalorian too. I wasn't so sure about the Last of US at first but it's quickly becoming a favorite also.

We chileans are always gonna support him, we love and appreciate him not only as an actor, but as a voice for the people ❤

yes

This is the last season.

He and Austin Butler’s always choke me up

@@brittanygarrison2068 say it isn't so...

​@@bluemoon6380 Of course it's not lol

@@brittanygarrison2068 uhm? Proof/ link?

This is the way.

Well said!

He seems like such a decent guy.

I agree that their immigration story is admirable. Pedro seems like he turned out well given all of the hardship and turmoil. Buuuut I feel like people don’t know how gross his father is. He was a fertility doc who swapped fertilized eggs and gave them to all different women on purpose. He then fled the country until 2022. Not the kind of person to idolize.

That’s so true 😢

Agreed! It was also the polar opposite in quality to last week. Last week with Micheal B Jordan was probably one of the worse SNL shows I've seen in awhile. All the live skits were pretty bad. It felt like Jordan refused most of the ideas that the writers pitched to him. So we ended up with skits about how Jordan was hot or cool, or taking the opposite of that and thinking we'd find it funny.

Totally agree.

@@gtd9536 🤔 Interesting opinion. I heard a lot of people enjoyed it last week.

He’s very personable

@@My_Fair_Lady ok random? although Pedro's body language and blouse were indeed zesty. 😸

Trivia note: The U.S. reality show The Amazing Race has been on for 34 Seasons, & they have traveled to Chile for 4 of them; 7, 11, 16, & 23.

According to the captions though it was just "non-english" >.

Are you one of the Chileans texting him? Loool😂

😂😂😂😂😂 nobody cares

My great great grandfather from Chile and feeling proud of having a Chile connection though distant but feeling proud for Pedro :)

My husband is Chilean, and his family also fled during Pinochet, they fled to Brazil.

It got nominated so step 1 is done

Me too. If the CIA hadn't assassinated Allende in Chile 1973 and installed the Terrorist General Pinochet , his family would not have had to flee Chile and immigrate here (but then he would not be a famous actor hosting Saturday Night Live! Amazing.

And let us never forget that it was the US who supported that coup.

Yeah, moved to the country that backed Pinochet’s regime

@@roguewan6732 well, it certainly was safer, so his parents apparently put safety first. Pedro was still a child when they immigrated. Also Pinochet's coup was specifically under Nixon. If you want to point fingers, get your facts straight.

@ It was Nixon, the CIA, the FBI, and it wasn't supported through any democratic process in the Estados Unidos. "US" is too broad a brush, especially for something 50 years ago, during the Cold War.

His mom committed suicide in '99. But I'm sure she's wishing she was alive to take in all the greatness that is her son. If only people knew that things do get better :'( And I'm sure he wishes his mom were here too

@@mirandazamora9778 i didn't know that about his mother, that's heartbreaking. No doubt she's smiling down on him with pride 💜

Hahahaha! You are sooo right!

Great guy like that, he can be picky! Might even be with someone on the dl but wants privacy, understandably.

@@KM-ek9or makes sense!

I volunteer

Great comment, thoroughly agree 👍

These emojis i cant 😂😭

Beautiful indeed, but Pedro is too masculine to wear this type of tops, doesn't fit his style at all. It's more for Harry Styles and Timothe Chalamét types.

He's not proud of you lol

@@jetrifle4209 just wasn't necessary was it

@@jetrifle4209 I bet your parents are proud of you. Pedro will do in one day what you accomplish in a decade. You’re just jealous, I hope you can get past it.

@@cameronsene4717 no shit Pedro's an amazing actor. 😂 someone likes making stuff up in their head....sad life

@@jetrifle4209 What’s wrong with them being proud of him?? Either you don’t understand Español so you didn’t actually understand what the original comment meant entirely, or you’re just a jerk for the sake of being one. Being proud of Pedro isn’t them “making something up in their head”. I don’t know him, I’ve never met him, but I’m definitely proud of him, and how far he’s come in his career. This, hosting SNL, was an amazing accomplishment, and I and other fans of his have every right to be proud of him for that and cheer him on. So I don’t know what your problem is, but don’t bring it in here.

It’s nice to meet a fellow Alex Z

That’s daddy fr

Ayyyy you are first
