Owen Wilson killed it on #SNL. Bonus: judging by the audience reaction, I had no idea there were so many "Cars" fans.

@nbcsnl I wish #OwenWilson had a Twitter account so I could tell him how awesome he was on SNL last night.
He plays all characters so well.
Oh, well, maybe you can pass it on to him.— Mary Rose Adler (@TikiRose) October 3, 2021
His monologue was great and he shined in some of the skits, but I don't think the material overall was stellar. He's funnier than he came off tonight. Still I'm a top fan of SNL and Owen Wilson…I really liked the skit where he did a studio reading for a new Cars movie release!
