Glen Powell recently hosted Saturday Night Live for the very first time, and he made the night even more memorable for eagle-eyed fans in Maine.

He did so by flying out Mitch, a UPS driver who became famous after Powell told him he would be hosting the show back in 2021, before having to postpone due to ‘Top Gun: Maverick' delays. During Powell’s November 2025 debut, the two reunited onstage and even recreated their original selfie during his monologue, proving he hadn’t been lying all along.

Powell’s original selfie with Mitch and company shows a Maine Chickadee license plate on the UPS truck in the background.

Confirming that the photo was taken during his time in Maine, Mitch even wore a Zephyr Ice hat on the show—a nod to the popular dessert spot in Portland.
