Rami Malek made his “Saturday Night Live” hosting debut this weekend, and one sketch found him facing off against cast member Pete Davidson as they delivered hilarious impersonations of each other.

In the sketch, Malek and the “SNL” cast play various celebrities in the spoof game show “Celeb School”, with Kenan Thompson’s host quizzing a collection of celebrities.

These include Melissa Villaseñor as former “SNL” star Kristen Wiig, Chloe Fineman as Jennifer Coolidge, Mikey Day as John Oliver, Bowen Yang as George Takei (poking fun at his latest spat with “Star Trek” nemesis William Shatner), Chris Redd as Lil’ Wayne and James Austin Johnson as Adam Driver.
