2 Newly Announced ‘SNL’ Hosts Just Got Closer to a Coveted Record

Saturday Night Live’s official 50th anniversary show may have come and gone, but the legendary sketch comedy series is keeping the party going—and just might need to invest in some new Five-Timer jackets.

On Wednesday, NBC announced its next three host/musical guest pairings: On March 29, Anora star/newly-minted Oscar winner Mikey Madison will lead the proceedings with (controversial) country music star Morgan Wallen as her musical guest. On April 5, Jack Black will take the stage with the impressive duo of Elton John and Brandi Carlile performing; the following week, Jon Hamm will team up with Lizzo for the April 12 episode.

It’s a solid lineup to be sure, and what could lead to a monumental achievement for both Black and Hamm: Entry into the Five-Timers Club—the group of celebrities who have hosted SNL five times or more.

Black made his first appearance on SNL all the way back in 1998 as part of Tenacious D, though they were just special guests (not the official musical act). On January 19, 2002, the Orange County star made his hosting debut, and returned on October 4, 2003 and December 17, 2005. On December 2, 2006, Tenacious D was the official musical guest (which doesn’t count toward the Five-Timers Club, as it’s specifically for five-time hosts).

While Hamm’s upcoming gig will mark his fourth time as host, he has been a very regular guest of the show—making 14 cameos between 2011 and 2024.

On April 6, 2024, Hamm helped to induct Kristen Wiig into the club—despite his not being a member (yet):

Hamm and Black will join Dana Carvey, Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, Charles Barkley, Michael Keaton, and Dave Chappelle as four-time hosts.
