The Power of a Promise: Glen Powell's Heartwarming Reunion with a UPS Driver
In a heartwarming twist, Glen Powell brought a very special guest to his 'Saturday Night Live' hosting debut - a UPS driver who played a role in a four-year-old promise.
It all started when Powell was initially offered the 'SNL' hosting gig, tied to the original release date of 'Top Gun: Maverick.' Amidst the celebration, a UPS driver happened to be delivering a package, and a selfie was taken to mark the occasion. Little did they know, this moment would become a four-year-long tale.
"The delay of 'Top Gun' due to COVID meant my hosting offer was rescinded. Lorne Michaels put it bluntly: 'Without 'Top Gun,' no one will know who the hell you are,'" Powell shared. For four years, that UPS driver, named Mitch, likely thought Powell was a liar.
But here's where it gets controversial: Powell decided to make things right. His sisters, described as "terrifying," tracked down Mitch's cell number, and Powell flew him to New York to clear his name. "He thought it was a scam, but he still came," Powell joked.
And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the selfie or the hosting gig. It's about keeping your word and the power of a promise.
"I had to wait my entire life, plus four years, to be here," Powell said. "But I've learned that the best things in life take time, and no one understands that better than UPS."
