While it may have been delayed a bit due to an overly long NFL playoff game, when Saturday Night Live finally hit the airwaves last night it featured a bit in which guest host Adam Driver took his Star Wars: The Force Awakens character onto an episode of NBC’s Undercover Boss reality series. It’s not surprising that the show would go to the Star Wars well with Driver. The show has a history of having fun with the franchise from their Star Wars auditions bit from earlier this season to last year’s Star Wars trailer parody to all the way back to Carrie Fishers’ guest hosting stint in back in 1978.
