After singing and dancing her way into the show during her monologue, host Aubrey Plaza sat down with Michael Shannon for a very sane conversation about her hosting duties to that point. It played out in a parody of one of the year’s weirder films, “The Lighthouse.”
In the skit, the duo played lighthouse keepers who just don’t get along, and when Plaza sees Shannon writing something in his log and asks him what he’s writing, Shannon tells her, “Nautical things.” She grabs the log and sees that he clearly didn’t like her opening monologue — and he especially didn’t like that she called out Shia LaBeouf and his career in her opening.
