The actors joined Wolfhard in his monologue last night (January 17), as he spoke about growing up on television and how he’s now an adult.
“My voice changed on camera, my first kiss was on camera, and the first time I learned what a woman looks like down there was on there as well,” he said, before the screen cut to a howling Demogorgon.
Then, His fellow Stranger Things stars came out to discuss how bizarre it is to become an adult onscreen, joking about all the things people would say about them on Reddit. At the end, they joked that they are now ready to star in ”adult films”.
Last night’s SNL episode also featured a sketch which imagined some Stranger Things spinoffs, including “Mike in Manhattan,” a Sex and the City-inspired series starring the three boys.
The sketch also included a scene from the rumoured ninth episode that started an internet conspiracy theory, and poked fun at Will’s lengthy coming-out scene in the show.

The finale saw the heroes of Hawkins face off against the evil Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), and some ambiguity surrounding the fate of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Many fans felt that some plot points were left unanswered, leading to an online theory named Conformity Gate, that proposed the idea that a secret, true finale was going to be released a week after the official final episode.
Fans expressed their frustration when that hypothetical episode never materialised, and Radwan admitted to being bemused by the theory. Describing it as “a little bizarre”, she asked: “why would they withhold that?”
In other news, in December, Wolfhard directed the first-ever music video for George Harrison‘s ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)’.
Last summer, Wolfhard launched his solo music career with the debut album ‘Happy Birthday’. He previously fronted the band Calpurnia and was one-half of the indie-rock duo The Aubreys.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, Wolfhard shared his dream to record at Abbey Road Studios like his heroes The Beatles, and said he had installed a studio in his house so he could record music every day.
“They’re the whole reason I got into music, and acting too, because with A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, that was like a switch in my head: ‘Oh, you can make music and be funny and be in movies’,” he explained.
