Jack Black Joins Elite SNL Five-Timers Club
2 Apr
Summary
- Jack Black will host SNL for the fifth time, joining the Five-Timers Club.
- His promo video featured a unique fashion statement with kitty shirts and florts.
- The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reprisal has also hit theaters successfully.
Jack Black is scheduled to host Saturday Night Live this weekend, marking his fifth appearance and induction into the exclusive Five-Timers Club. This esteemed club, initiated by Tom Hanks in 1990, celebrates hosts who have reached this significant milestone. Black's induction follows a memorable skit featuring Ryan Gosling mistakenly believing he had already joined.
His promotional video offered a quirky glimpse into his preparation, featuring bold fashion choices like kitty-themed shirts and "florts." The video humorously concluded with him encountering cast member Sarah Sherman in the exact same distinctive outfit. Black will be the 27th host to receive this honor.
The musical guest for Black's hosting episode will be Jack White, whom Black affectionately referred to as his "brother from another color" in the promo. Seth Meyers has previously highlighted a "beloved" cut sketch featuring Black, suggesting a high likelihood of entertaining content. Black's previous hosting dates include January 19, 2002; October 4, 2003; December 17, 2005; and April 5 of last year.
This hosting appearance coincides with the highly anticipated release of "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," where Black reprises his role as Bowser. The film is projected to be the biggest box office debut of 2026, a feat that would surpass Ryan Gosling's "Project Hail Mary."
