With the incredible Pedro Pascal on hosting duty this weekend, late-night comedy showcase Saturday Night Live took the opportunity to put the co-lead of HBO’s The Last of Us to work in a new, equally gritty video game role.
I give you, HBO’s Mario Kart:

Aside from the shockingly high production values exhibited in the 3-minute skit (if you were very Online™ around 2010 you might pick up on the involvement of Mike Diva here), the trailer is packed with some genuinely funny gags. Honestly, I’d watch a full run of this show in a heartbeat, if nothing else than to see more of Pascal in the iconic overalls.
You can catch new episodes of The Last of Us every Monday at 1PM AEDT on Foxtel and Binge. Head here to see the full series schedule.
The show was also just renewed for a second season after drawing record-breaking numbers for HBO, and our latest peek into the upcoming The Last of Us multiplayer game has us believing it could be a two-player cooperative experience.
