Jack Black is back on Saturday Night Live — and he has officially joined the Five-Timers club!

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie star kicked off his hosting monologue by addressing that it was his fifth time hosting the sketch comedy series, before he was joined by a starry lineup of guests who, too, have hosted the show (at least) five times.

“I am so thrilled to be back hosting SNL for the fifth time. It’s a huge honor to join the Five-Timers club,” he said. “I’m a five-timer!”

Black was first joined by his Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot co-star Jonah Hill, who was sporting a Five-Timers robe. “It is so good to see you. What have you been up to, man?” Black said, to which Hill joked, “Well, I’ve actually been working on Superbad 2!”

The two walked through a door to the Five-Timers lounge, which prompted Hill to tell Black, “Jack, we need your help. There’s something wrong with the Five-Timers Club. You see what I mean?”

“Yes, you’re right, it feels like there’s evil lurking around every corner,” Black said, before Tina Fey popped up. “Oh no, it’s just me! It’s just regular Tina Fey,” the 30 Rock star said.

Candice Bergen, who is notably the first woman to join SNL‘s Five-Timers club, also joined in on the fun, before Melissa McCarthy also made a cameo. Jack White, who served as the night’s musical guest, also appeared in Black’s monologue.

Saturday marked the Super Mario Galaxy Movie star’s landmark fifth time hosting the sketch comedy series. He appeared on the show one year prior, almost exactly to the date on April 5, 2025, which was his first time hosting SNL in two decades. On Saturday night, he was accompanied by musical guest White.

Elsewhere, Bad Bunny, Amy Poehler, Sabrina Carpenter, Miles Teller, Nikki Glaser, Glen Powell, Melissa McCarthy, Josh O’Connor, Ariana Grande, Finn Wolfhard, Teyana Taylor, Alexander Skarsgard, Connor Storrie and Harry Styles have already hosted season 51 of SNL.

Colman Domingo will lead next week’s episode, alongside Anitta.
