Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
Tom Holland has repeatedly turned down offers to host Saturday Night Live due to intense anxiety and fear of performing live comedy. Despite being a huge fan of the show and having a close relationship with SNL producer Lorne Michaels, Holland's stage fright and the pressure of live sketch comedy have prevented him from accepting. He has been offered the hosting gig multiple times but always declines, though he hasn't ruled out the possibility entirely if he can overcome his nerves.

Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to do it, but for now, I just can't.
