"It is such an honor to be on this stage, especially considering my first job in show business was as a male stripper," Tatum said in his opening monologue. "That may sound like a joke but I really was a stripper for a year before I became an actor. So, the ground rules for tonight are, one, no touching…I can touch you, you can't touch me."
"Tips are appreciated. The only reason I'm hosting this show is to put myself through nursing school. Three, for my safety, Big Ronnie (Keenan Thompson) here will be with me all night long. I'm not ashamed of my past. I love stripping, I love my customers."
After pointing out a few women and men in the crowd that he'd given lap dances to, including Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig, Tatum treated the audience to some hip thrusting and butt popping…and tore open his shirt.
And that was just the beginning of Tatum's strip-downs.
