However, he clarified that hosting the show is a different matter. The actor said that the thought of hosting SNL would make him wake up in a cold sweat every night.
He emphasized that a cameo is "perfect" because it allows him to dip his toes into the show, but hosting would bring him "a lot of sleepless nights."
The actor also cited his perception of himself as not being a funny person as a reason for his reluctance to host SNL.
According to Evans, he has friends who told him that he is not funny, and that idea stuck with him. He believes that hosting SNL would give him an "everyday anxiety" and "constant regret" that he could have been comfortable at home instead.
