Colman Domingo wrapped up his first "Saturday Night Live" episode with an emotional closing speech, though viewers watching live didn't get to see it.
At the end of the April 11 episode of "SNL," the "Euphoria" star, 56, got reflective about the significance of hosting the NBC sketch show for the first time. He was joined on stage by Brazilian singer Anitta, the night's musical guest.

"Tonight is for the dreamers. Tonight is for the people who bring light into the world, especially Lorne Michaels and this beautiful cast."
He added, "Thank you to the band. Thank you to everyone who came, to come together in a dark room and just laugh, when we need more laughter in the world. This has been an epic night, and we want to send you away with a big ol' kiss and love, and to love on each other. Thank you so much to every single one of you in this building."
Viewers watching on NBC missed nearly all of Domingo's speech, as the broadcast suddenly ended and cut to commercial just a few words into his remarks. It's common for "SNL" goodnights to not air in their entirety because the show has run out of time and reached the end of its programming slot, though the cutoff isn't always as abrupt as it was with Domingo's episode.
