Jack Black Hosts SNL for Fifth Time as Jack White Returns as Musical Guest

Playful promos set the tone for a milestone night.

Overview

  • SNL pairs Jack Black with Jack White for Saturday’s episode after new promos hype the Easter and Passover show as “metal.”
  • The teasers trade quick lines like “Lamb’s blood!”, “Rising from the dead!”, and “Exodus!”, with cast member Marcello Hernández jumping into the bit.
  • Black reaches SNL’s Five‑Timers Club with this hosting turn, a long‑running tradition that often includes a symbolic jacket for the milestone.
  • White marks his sixth SNL appearance, building on a history that began with The White Stripes in 2002 and has usually kept him out of sketches.
  • The episode airs on NBC with streaming on Peacock, as Black also spotlights his Bowser role in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie released this week.
