Jack Black Joins SNL's Five-Timers Club

0:00On April 6th, Jack Black just dropped into Saturday Night Live's exclusive 5-timers club after hosting his 5th time on April 4th. That's the crew of Star As Hoove, MC the show 5 or more times, and now the clubs got 27 members total. Black first hit the stage back in January 2002, and this milestone puts him right up there with comedy legends. The club kicked off quietly with Buck Henry hitting 5 hosts by November 1977, but Tom Hanks made it official in the 1990s. Sketch, flashing a fake membership card, with vets like Steve Martin and Elliot Gould. Martin actually blazed and fastest, nailing 5 gigs in just 546 days while Alec Baldwin owns the record with 17 hosts. Fans love the tradition, especially the sketches where newbies get roasted by old-timers, think Jack is handed out and big reunions that hype the crowd. It's a nod to SNL's history, celebrating folks from original cast, like Chevy Chase, to powerhouses like John Goodman with 13 appearances.

1:02Lately, the club's been popping off with Emma Stone joining at 35 years old last December. Kristen Wigg and April, with cameos from Matt Damon. In others, Martin's short in December, and now Black reviving the vibe alongside Tina Fay and Melissa McCarthy, even musical guests like Paul Simon got honorary nods early on. This keeps SNL feeling alive, pulling in fresh energy from icons who keep coming back. Proof the show still got that timeless pull for anyone. Dropping bars on live TV.
