Jack Black SNL Skits

Studio 8H lit up like a rock concert-meets-comedy club as legendary funnyman Jack Black made his triumphant return to the SNL stage, bringing his signature chaos, charm, and a whole lot of eyebrow wiggling to the hosting gig. And if that wasn’t enough star power, music royalty took the mic — Sir Elton John was joined by the powerhouse vocals of Brandi Carlile, delivering a duo performance that felt like a once-in-a-lifetime jam session.

With sketches that doubled as core workouts (from all the laughing, obviously) and musical numbers that gave us goosebumps and glitter, this episode wasn’t just entertainment, it was a full-blown Saturday night extravaganza. Let’s get into the madness, music, and magic.

Trump Tariff Cold Open

President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) hit the SNL podium to deliver a classic speech unpacking tariffs, the stock market, and a few unexpected tangents. 

Jack Black Monologue

Fourth-time host Jack Black kicked things off with heartfelt hilarity, calling his return to SNL one of the greatest moments of his life, right before breaking into a full-blown musical number about coming back to Studio 8H after 20 years. Cue the confetti cannons and electric guitar solos.

Indiana Jones

Love is blind, and apparently, so is judgment, in this chaotic dating show sketch, where Chloe Fineman plays a contestant choosing between three wildly unqualified bachelors (Jack Black, James Austin Johnson, and Marcello Hernández).

One Uppers

A chill lunch date turns into a full-blown humblebrag battle in this sketch where a group of friends (Jack Black, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, and Bowen Yang) just can’t stop one-upping each other.

The First Play

Lights, toga, action! A group of unsuspecting theatergoers (Jack Black, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, and Chloe Fineman) attend what’s billed as the very first play in ancient Greece, and let’s just say the reviews are... mixed.

Elton John and Brandi Carlile

Musical legends collide as Elton John and Brandi Carlile light up Studio 8H with two powerhouse performances, “Little Richard’s Bible” and “Who Believes in Angels?” It was soul, sparkle, and sheer vocal magic, leaving the audience with no choice but to give the pair a standing ovation. An SNL musical moment for the ages.

Flamin' Hot Commercial

Warning: Side effects may include laughing 'til it hurts. In this fiery fake ad, a miracle medication promises sweet relief for those who dared to tango with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and paid the spicy price.

Making Love

In a sketch that’s equal parts cringe and comedy gold, Jack Black and Sarah Sherman belt out a hilariously awkward song about making love for the first time.

Weekend Update ft. Marcello Hernández, Jane Wickline, and Ego Nwodim

Colin Jost and Michael Che kicked off Weekend Update with their signature blend of snark and sharp wit, diving into the week’s biggest news with a side of sass. Then, things took a hilarious turn when The Couple You Can’t Believe Are Together (Marcello Hernández and Jane Wickline) joined for some awkwardly relatable relationship banter, before Ego Nwodim dropped by to deliver a dose of comedic brilliance and chaos. You know, the usual.

Bass Lake

Big Ricky and the Minnows (Jack Black, Kenan Thompson, and Andrew Dismukes) turned a potluck into a full-blown jam session, inviting anyone to join their impromptu band — and anything goes.

Times Square Kiss

In this hilariously awkward sketch, Jack Black plays a nurse’s boyfriend who gets a front-row seat to history (and some unwanted drama) when she plants a kiss on a sailor (Michael Longfellow) celebrating the end of World War II in Times Square.

Goth Kid on Vacation

Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim, in full reggae glory, drop a tune about goth kids on vacation with their families, and it’s the ultimate vibe clash.
