AceShowbiz - Jack Black earned his place in the prestigious Saturday Night Live Five-Timers Club during the April 5, 2026, episode, marking his fifth time hosting the iconic NBC show.
His induction ceremony featured a gathering with fellow five-time hosts Jonah Hill, Melissa McCarthy, Candice Bergen, and Tina Fey. Notably, Fey sported a unique SNL UK 1-timers jacket fashioned from Paddington the bear, adding a whimsical touch to the group’s reunion in the club’s cobweb-filled lounge.
During their time together, Tina Fey reflected on the recurring Five-Timers Club sketches, commenting that the concept has been extensively revisited since its inception. She noted, "What started off as a one-off joke in a Tom Hanks monologue has been brought back so many times that it has literally been run into the ground." This episode marked her fifth participation in a Five-Timers Club sketch.
In an effort to refresh the tradition, musical guest Jack White, who was also making his fifth solo musical appearance on the show, collaborated with Jack Black. White played guitar on the iconic track "Seven Nation Army" as Black performed vocals, injecting new energy into the lounge’s atmosphere.
Jack Black humorously acknowledged the worn-out state of the lounge, saying, "Everything about this lounge is so broken and wrong, but I'm gonna fix it by singing the world's most rockin' song." The performance served as a lively tribute to both the club and the enduring legacy of Saturday Night Live’s recurring sketches.
