Although he has never disappeared from the public eye, appearing in high -profile live action film projects for decades, the last time Jack Black was the host of “Saturday Night Live” was in December 2005.
The rest of about 20 years must have allowed the actor and the tenacious musician D keeping a private energy reserve for the fourth time as host. Looking to promote “a Minecraft Film “, the video game recently released for film adaptation that is already a surprise blowBlack proved to be reliably fun, silly and ready to launch a song at one time, which he did in multiple sketches, in addition to the monologue of songs and dances.
As with the recent episode of Lady Gaga, the sketches and video segments were successfully adapted to black and no sketches were repeated before. For his part, Black was fun as a dating presentation contestant Dress as Indiana Jones (but who denies that he is aware of the character); A cartoonist whose girlfriend (Heidi Gardner) Keep kissing other men for photographs at the end of World War II; And a romantic who Sing about having sex for the first time With Sarah Sherman, Bowen Yang and musical guest Brandi Carlile, who were suspended by cables.
Black also played a musician leading an open jam flooded by too many bassistsmember of a dinner where All are trying one of the others and a audience member For the first work never doneBack in ancient Greece. The sketches were more silly than usual, but in an environment with Black's comic rhythms and the will to simply do so. It is difficult to imagine any other host this season, for example, doing peaning justice so rubber to a very rude and very funny face “Flamin 'Hot Preparation H” Commercial Parody.
Based only on this week's performance, it shouldn't be another 20 years before Black returns to claim his 5 -timer jacket. Musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile made “Little Richard Bible“And” Who believes in Los Angeles? “Before the closing of Good Nights, a title card for Val Kilmer appeared, who was the host of” SNL “in 2000 and who died this week.
The Cold Open of the week had President Trump (James Austin Johnson) discussing the economy and causing the steep stock market fall of the week. Calling the tariffs “Abbreviation for 'Tariff Idea',” Trump said he is excited by Magda, or makes America a great depression again. “We will be those who eat the cats, the dogs, that will be very fun. Bajo and slow, stoafalos,” he said. Trump showed a large and expensive cardboard table of reciprocal countries and tariff Musical guest last week Morgan Wallen Leave the end of the show And publish that phrase on Instagram shortly after. (The incident was also mentioned in the “weekend update” this week, with Colin Jost commenting that the stock market is losing money faster than Wallen leaving the program during good night). Trump joined Elon Musk (Mike Myers), who showed a video of a new Tesla model that self -life. You can crush your own headlights, flatten your own tires and draw graffiti from penises, swastika or swastika with penises.
Black mentioned the long pause between accommodation concerts and used it as an opportunity to first announce that it was stressed and renouncing the show. But it was a trick to get to an adjusted version of “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith, which Black shook, running through the audience, and kicked after being united by Gardner, Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernández and a seven -people march band. It was an energetic way of making the show be after the cold quite quiet.
The best sketch of the night: my chemical romance meets a Jamaican getaway
What begins as a song about Jamaica with Thompson and Ego Nwodim takes an abrupt turn, because it is really an uncomfortable Gothic child (Michael Longfellow) on vacation. While the singers tell, use large black jeans and combat boots on the beach, comically. Goth Kid also plays Magic: The Gathering and is not crazy about the Sun. It is a fun and well -executed idea, but what really puts it above is Jack Black in Goth Gear singing a parody of my chemical romance “The black parade. “It is an absolutely specific and perfect surprise that helps to turn a good sketch into an excellent one.
Also good: Flamin 'Hot kicks it to the extreme
They will not all love this commercial version of the “Flamin 'hot”/”hot oons” madness, an increasing arms race of hot sauces and chips powders. But combining Chester Cheetah, Cheetos animated spokesman, with an overwhelmed pitcher for the preparation of Flamin 'Hot H produces an escalation and an inductor end of gasa that is as disgusting as hysterical. Even poor Chester is horrified. Maybe it is not the comedy more good taste, but we are not made of stone. It's fun.
Winner of 'Weekend Update': Ego Nwodim will allow you to finish that
Hernández and Jane Wickline He returned like Grant and AlyssaThe couple who cannot believe is together, but it was Ego Nwodim who delivered a piece that will probably be discussed all week: one in which he got the audience to scream a non -boiled improper on live television. Nwodim was responding to the cancellation of the Amber Ruffin comedian of the dinner of the white house correspondents, offering to organize the event herself, not as a roast of politicians but as an roast of the gastronomic experience of the night. That is a fun premise, but Nwodim took him several levels beyond that, creating a standing personality called Mrs. Eggy that uses words games and deviates on issues such as sex after 50. Like Colin Jost and Michael Che seemed to be losing their heads behind her, Nwodim made the audience complete the prayer, “Ms. Eggy no …” With the answer. ” Men are not … “And the audience responded with a word that begins with an” S “and went to the censors. Natodim, Nwodim gave:” We will receive a fine for that! Lorne will get angry with you! “Even with the excellent work of Jack Black, it was Nwodim who knocked the house with the best and most wild time of the episode.
