I'm obsessed with her dress. She looks like an old Hollywood movie star.

[AmelieMews]

She did an excelent job: so natural giving the monologue live in english and spanish :)

[lizardquinn]

She is seriously like a throwback to old glamour Hollywood in that dress. I mean she's always beautiful but this is stunning. And talented beyond belief. Anya Taylor-Joy should do everything and I will be here for it.

[hirobeats]

I honestly didn't expect her to be THAT charismatic, being a first time host and sort of a newly minted star. She's awesome.

British accent to full on perfect Spanish was a nice touch. Great monologue.

[The_One-Eyed_Undertaker]

I'm an Argentinean fan of SNL since my teenage years in the 80's. It took me almost 40 years to listen to the host introduce the show in Argentinean Spanish with a Porteño accent, but you finally did it! Gracias totales, Anya! 🇦🇷

A lot of dramatic actors are really awkward in comedic monologues, but not her. She seemed very comfortable and confident on stage.

[hamilcross]

she’s like an ethereal creature, she’s so stunning

[maryruthlove]

She’s literally a natural. Not nervous and acted as if she’s hosted several times before.
***I guess she did talk fast and seem a bit nervous but she still did a great job!***

[KCNwokoye]

Such a stage and screen star. She seemed fully herself and very authentic. Kudos to her and her family for raising a wholesome person.

After seeing her in many dark horror movies and Thoroughbreds I knew she’d make it big. She has great range. This monologue was very clever and her delivery was adorable and snarky. She and Jodie Comer are QUEENS of accents.

[sgrant]

It actually means a lot to so many of us that she ended in Spanish. Great monologue, Anya!

[emira]

Wow she didn’t miss a beat. She was born to be in front of a camera.

[rgwak]

"Hey everyone! My name is Anya and I'm so excited to host SNL!"
Me: "Wait what, she's British?"
"Nosotros tenemos un gran show esta noche..."
Me: 😲😳

[lizyy]

The fact that she spoke Spanish in the monologue, even though it was just a bit, meant the world. Muchas gracias Anya! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[alanreyna]

Anya can just be standing doing nothing there and I still would be applauding.

[luluseatowngetdown]

She made Queens Gambit. I couldn’t stop watching her. She’s so talented and intriguing to watch. Stunning as always🤍🤍🤍

[crm]

she’s such a talented actress and she’s clearly got some comedic chops as well. i can’t wait to see where she goes in the future 😍

[alanreyna]

2:53 I almost fainted when she started to speak spanish... arrasando Anya!

[legorahma]

her hair, her dress her voice, her face, her cadence, she is wonderful!! i remember watching her for the first time in split and then in hozier's dinner & diatribes music video and i'm so glad that she's now getting the recognition she deserves. what a queen.
