Colman Domingo Playfully Roasts Euphoria Fans for Getting Creepy as Season 3 Drops
Colman Domingo stormed into his Saturday Night Live hosting debut with a jab at Euphoria’s creepiest superfans, landing big laughs just as Season 3 drops. The HBO hit from creator Sam Levinson returns with heavyweights Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Alexa Demie.
So, Colman Domingo finally checked 'host SNL' off his bucket list, and as you might expect, he didn’t hold back from poking fun at, well, pretty much everybody—including the entire Euphoria fanbase. That’s right, the HBO show is back for Season 3, and Domingo—aka Ali Muhammad if you’re a Euphoria devotee—used his SNL monologue to let the world know just how many pies he’s had his fingers in since the '90s.
Colman Domingo's Weirdly Perfect SNL Debut
Sunday night, Domingo took the SNL stage for the first time, opening with a rapid-fire spiel about all the places people might recognize him from. According to the man himself:
'I've been an actor since the 90s. So, you may be sitting here thinking, "Where do I know him from?" And it's probably because I've been in a lot of different things. You know, Fear the Walking Dead, Four Seasons, Lincoln, Sing Sing. I was Carly in iCarly. I was inside the C-3PO suit in Star Wars. And I am also your uncle.'
(If you’re confused, yeah, most of that was a joke, but honestly, Domingo’s IMDB page is wild enough that you start to wonder.)
Taking Aim at the Euphoria Fandom
Like any good SNL host, he wasn’t above roasting his own viewers. Domingo zeroed in on Euphoria fans—which, let’s be honest, is a demographic with range—and called out some, uh, patterns he’s noticed:
'The point is, I'm practically in everything, like raisins at a Caucasian cookout. I love how I can always guess what people know me from. You know, if you're a Latin bro, I'm like, "Oh, Fear the Walking Dead." But if it's a girl under 20 or a creepy dude over 30, that's Euphoria.'
Not exactly pulling punches here, Colman.
Quick Recap: Euphoria Season 3

- Created by: Sam Levinson.

- Reception: Rough waters so far. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes are at a not-so-hot 44%, and the audience score (the Popcornmeter, for those who love silly branding) hovers at 54%.
Final Thoughts
SNL hosting usually brings out the weird in people, but Colman Domingo genuinely seemed to relish skewering the Euphoria fanbase—and honestly, some viewers probably needed the reminder not to take themselves (or the show) quite so seriously. Meanwhile, Euphoria Season 3 is getting a chilly reception, which sort of makes you wonder if Domingo's monologue was also a bit of preemptive damage control.
Either way, between self-deprecating jokes and calling out 'creepy dudes over 30,' it's safe to say Domingo knows how to work a room—even if half that room is probably doomscrolling recaps instead of actually watching the new episodes.
