Glen Powell Proves Himself to UPS Driver He Called a 'Liar' After Years Waiting for SNL Hosting Gig
It's been roughly four years since Glen Powell first revealed his plans to host Saturday Night Live, and he had nothing but time on his hands to prove the good Samaritan who gave him a hard time about it. The actor finally took to the stage in Studio 8H, bringing closure to a promise that was once met with skepticism by a random UPS driver.
In an amusing twist of fate, Powell revealed during his monologue that he had been holding off on hosting SNL due to the release of Top Gun: Maverick, which was delayed by the pandemic. This led him to quip that without the film's release, no one would recognize him – a sentiment he'd now have to contradict in front of "Mitch the UPS guy," who had called Powell out as a liar when he first broke the news.
Miraculously, Powell's sisters were able to track down Mitch and arrange for him to attend his monologue, effectively giving him a second chance to prove that the actor wasn't lying about his SNL hosting plans. With a heartfelt thank you to Mitch, who finally knew the truth, Glen Powell was able to conclude his monologue by saying that if he's learned one thing in life, it's that even UPS knows that the best things take time.
Powell's moment of triumph marked an end to years of speculation about whether or not SNL would ever give him a chance. On Saturday night, he proved himself as more than just a charming actor – he was a man who held true to his word and gave credit where it was due.

I gotta say, this UPS driver Mitch is the real MVP! Who knew holding someone's PR account hostage would give them a front-row seat at SNL? 
It's actually kinda cool that Glen Powell showed mercy and invited him to his show, giving him a chance to clear the air. It just goes to show that even in the entertainment industry, personal growth and humility are key. 
I'm glad we got to see both sides of the story now – it makes me appreciate Glen's commitment to keeping his word all the more! 
He calls out Powell as a liar in front of everyone, and then somehow gets invited to his own monologue? Talk about a plot twist, right? 
.
what a crazy story! Poor Mitch the UPS driver didn't know the truth 
. Glad everything worked out in the end 
especially when Glen's sisters tracked him down to give him a chance to clear his name 
. Now we get to see what this talented guy is working with on SNL 
and btw, that line about ups knowing the best things take time is EVERYTHING 
like what even is up with that ups driver though? didn't realize being right could be so satisfying 
glen powell's just amazing tho, i was on the edge of my seat waiting for this moment and it did not disappoint 
i love how he acknowledged his mistake and gave credit to mitch the ups guy, that's what i call class 
it's like he knew he had a chance to redeem himself and took it, now he can finally move on from all the drama 
. I love how Glen Powell finally got the closure he deserved after that random UPS driver called him out as a liar. It's amazing how one person can make all the difference, right? And can we talk about how awesome his sister's detective skills are? 
I think it's great that Mitch got to attend his monologue and experience the truth firsthand. Powell's message of gratitude towards UPS is really inspiring - it just goes to show that even in the entertainment industry, humility and acknowledging others' contributions can take you a long way
