Okay well more of a parody…
James Bond star Daniel Craig returned to SNL over the weekend for hosting duties. Starting his monologue by addressing Bond film No Time To Die and it’s delay due to Coronavirus, Daniel more than came through by offering eager fans a “sneak peek” at the new spy flick.

Playing upon fans anticipation in a hilarious and almost cruel fashion, SNL created a parody of a scene in which Bond walks into a casino to meet a contact, but forgets his mission when he gets on a winning streak at the craps table. The clip then sees Bond pass on his signature Vodka Martini for a Vodka Redbull, connecting with 19-23 year olds all across the world.
He then proclaims himself as Simba because he feels like “The king of the jungle” before the man working the table turns out to be an enemy agent and tries to kill him. But don’t worry, Bond manages to neutralise him before rolling another snake eyes for the onlookers.
As great as this clip is, we’re definitely bummed that No Time To Die has been delayed until November, but we’re sure that it’ll be worth the wait. You can definitely bet we’ll be the first ones in line when its released…
