John Cena brought out his inner Gronk as host of Saturday Night Live this weekend. The WWE and Trainwreck star portrayed Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski for a game show sketch aimed at teaching “financial security to some of the world’s most ignorant millionaires.”

In the Jeopardy-style Where’d Your Money Go?, Gronk’s biggest problem is realizing the answer to every scenario is always no. “You’re like if Dave & Buster’s was a person,” Charles Barkley (Keenan Thompson) quips.

But Gronk isn’t alone: Alex Moffat dons a fur jacket, gold chain, and sunglasses to play UFC fighter and “angry little leprechaun” Conor McGregor, while Bobby Moynihan parodies golf star John Daly, who has his own alcoholic sports drink called Smirnoff Sport.
