With the launch of Apple TV+ just a couple of days away, one of the stars of its first series to debut on Friday, See‘s Jason Momoa, made a surprise appearance on tonight’s Saturday Night Live hosted by Chance the Rapper, who also was a musical guest.

Momoa played a defendant in a First Impressions Court skit, a court TV show spoof featuring Chance the Rapper as Judge Barry who takes “no more than 10 seconds” to reach a verdict.
