Overview
- Jack Black was inducted on Saturday, April 4, receiving the Five-Timers jacket on air from Tina Fey during his opening monologue.
- The sketch set the club as a cobwebbed lounge and featured surprise visits from Jonah Hill, Tina Fey, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy.
- Jack White joined the monologue for a reworked Seven Nation Army, then played new solo songs, in what some outlets counted as his fifth solo appearance and others as his sixth overall.
- Fey offered a meta-critique that the Five-Timers premise has been overused and joked that Black was “the first Black in the five-timers club,” nodding to the show’s diversity record.
- Black reached five 8,841 days after his first SNL appearance, tying Drew Barrymore for the longest path, as the club tradition dating to Tom Hanks’ 1990 monologue continued on Season 51.
