Saturday Night Live veteran Tina Fey showed up in hologram form to help Felicity Jones, best known for her role as Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, get through her first SNL monologue.
Dressed in the white, flowing robes of a Star Wars princess, Fey encouraged Jones not to be nervous about her hosting gig. "All you need to do is go out there and do your best," she said. "Don't worry about what the reviews say." "Does this show get reviewed?" asks a worried Jones. "Yes! Way too much," Fey replies. "Also, no matter how it goes, the president of the United States will say that it's 'sad and overrated.'" Watch the full monologue below. Bonnie Kristian
