It's April 4th. Welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI and packed with headlines. Jack Black and Anya Taylor Joy just set the record straight on hosting Saturday night live. It's straight fire, but scary as hell. These two are starring together in the upcoming animated Super Mario Galaxy movie, and they both tackled the SNL stage before. Black's done it four times already, while Taylor Joy jumped in back on May 22nd, 2021. They both spill that it's the ultimate thrill mixed with pure terror. Taylor Joy called herself terrified, yet pumped, and she's itching for round two, hoping it gets less intense. Black backed her up, saying it smoothed out after the first go. Growing up abroad in places like London and Buenos Aires, Taylor Joy didn't catch SNL live. She only saw clips on YouTube that made her debut feel like her big intro to America. She said those ten seconds right before showtime are the worst, but shout out to stage

manager Donna Richards, who's been magic making there since the 1990s. Richards hooks host up perfectly, even scribbling notes inside the dressing room door. Black got a pillow from her to crash between dress rehearsal and live air, because that week's schedule is non-stop chaos with barely any shut-eye. Black's back at it this week, hosting with musical guests Jack White on Saturday night live, airing at 11.30 p.m. Eastern 8.30 p.m. Pacific on April 4th, catch the madness if you can.
