As his Ghosted co-star Ana de Armas gets ready to host Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, Chris Evans reveals he’s terrified of hosting.
Evans, 41, promoted Ghosted with the Armas in an interview with ET Canadawhen asked if he could come over for a guest appearance on SNL.
While the actor didn’t confirm or deny a possible cameo event on Saturday, he revealed he could handle that… but he couldn’t handle the hosting.
“Well, now a cameo I can handle. I’ve avoided hosting “SNL” like the plague for years simply because I’m so scared. It’s terrifying to me,” Evans admitted.
“For me, it would just be one of those things that would wake me up in a cold sweat every night,” Evans continued.

He added: ‘a cameo sounds great, that’s perfect. In and out… get your toes wet,’ although hosting doesn’t interest him.
“But hosting, I take my hat off to her. She’s gonna be great. But it would give me a lot of sleepless nights,” Evans continued.
Later in the interview, he added, “I’m not a funny person. Maybe I only feel that because I have really, really funny friends who once told me I’m not a funny person.”
“I just know how I would feel… it would just be a daily dread, constant regret,” he continued.
‘Why did I do this? I could have been comfortable in my house, in my bed, without having to worry about this,” he insisted.
Ghosted follows a man named Cole (Evans), who falls in love with a woman named Sadie (de Armas).
After she doesn’t return his calls and texts, he decides to follow her to London as a “romantic gesture,” only to discover that she is a CIA secret agent.
