Someone finally told Daniel Craig that a clip of him from Saturday Night Live in March 2020 made him a weekly meme.
When the popularity of the viral moment was brought up in a new interview with the New York Times, Craig’s response was a question.
“What is that?” the 53-year-old asked after writer Dave Itzkoff brought up the fact that the SNL clip of him floods his timeline every Friday.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Weeknd,” Craig says in the video. It’s taken from Season 45, when the James Bond actor hosted and was introducing the superstar musical guest to the stage. Right before the clip ends, Craig offers a sort of exhale-and-shrug that observers have taken as a hat tip to the literal weekend, and applause can be heard from the studio audience.
When Itzkoff explained the meme is a way to usher in any given weekend, Craig was still inquisitive.
“They do? It’s amazing. I don’t know what that is, but thank you,” he said. “That’s lovely. I suppose I’d have to have social media to know what that was all about.”
Even the Weeknd had a laugh about it the SNL meme on Twitter in May.
