Jack Black Joins SNL's Five-Timer's Club with Tina Fey, Jonah Hill Induction
Jack Black became the newest member of Saturday Night Live's exclusive Five-Timer's Club after hosting the show for the fifth time. Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy welcomed him during his opening monologue.
Jack Black officially joined Saturday Night Live's Five-Timer's Club during his opening monologue, marking his fifth time hosting the long-running comedy show.
The induction happened in the traditional Five-Timer's Club lounge, though this time it was covered in cobwebs. Jonah Hill appeared first, telling Black that "something was wrong with the five-timer's club" before leading him to the lounge.
There, Black was greeted by comedy legends Tina Fey, Candice Bergen, and Melissa McCarthy - all previous Five-Timer's Club members. Black joked about fixing the place "the only way I know how: With the power of rock" and launched into a rendition of "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
The Five-Timer's Club is SNL's most exclusive tradition, dating back decades. Only a select group of entertainers have hosted the show five or more times, making membership a significant milestone in comedy and entertainment careers.
Black's induction adds another rock-comedy crossover star to the club's ranks, following his successful career spanning movies like "School of Rock" and his band Tenacious D.
The Five-Timer's Club is one of TV's most exclusive groups, reserved for celebrities who've hosted SNL at least five times. It shows which stars have real staying power in comedy and entertainment.
Black will likely return to host SNL again in the future, as Five-Timer's Club members often become recurring hosts.
