On Saturday Night Live this week, professional wrestler/actor John Cena served as the show’s host.
In one segment, Cena, who played Division III football in college, appeared as an Alabama football player.
Alongside two other students, Cena, portraying a star Crimson Tide player, gives a presentation on bananas while the others have to give much more detailed reports.
The professors give Cena a perfect score so he’ll play in the school’s bowl game, simultaneously grading the other students much more harshly.
The entire segment, which pokes fun at the lenient academic requirements on student-athletes, can be seen above.
