Rapper Jack Harlow made his debut as a host on Saturday Night Live where he roasted himself during his monologue.
The “First Class” singer took the stage of Studio 8H and immediately started poking fun at himself.
“A lot of people have been saying I’m the goat,” Harlow started. “They don’t mean greatest of all time, they mean that one from Narnia.”
Harlow continued, “I don’t know what it is about me but people on the Internet, they like to roast me. I don’t mind, I think it’s funny.”
He went on to talk about “one guy” that said, “I don’t know why y’all think Jack Harlow is so special. You can find somebody who looks like him at any local gas station.”
“I’ve heard them say, I look like if you tried to draw Justin Timberlake from memory,” he said. “I think my favorite one might be — Jack Harlow looks like the guy who rips the tickets in half at the movie theater.”
