1 week Ago By Gina Vivinetto
"Saturday Night Live" fans may still be in a laughter hangover thanks to last week's uproarious episode hosted by Jack Black . The "Minecraft Movie" star returned to host for the fourth time on April 5, adding his zany touch to sketches and one heck of a musical monologue. More than a dozen A-list celebs — including Lady Gaga, Mikey Madison, Martin Short and Timothée Chalamet — have dropped by Studio 8H to host the show amid its 50th season.
Musical guests so far this season have included Chappell Roan, Hozier, Billie Eilish, Coldplay, Jelly Roll and last week's joint performance by Elton John and Brandi Carlile. But Season 50 isn't over yet. Here's what to know about the April 12 episode of "SNL.
" Is there a new episode of ‘SNL’ tonight? Yes! "SNL" is back with yet another live episode at 11:30 p.m. ET.
Jon Hamm returns to host the show for the fourth time with Grammy winner Lizzo serving as musical guest. Believe it or not, the last time Hamm officially hosted "SNL" was back in October 2010. But the former "Mad Men" star has made more than a dozen cameo appearance s on the show since then.
Hamm's comedy chops were already on display earlier this week when "SNL" unveiled a promo sketch that spoofed classic soap operas. Hamm played a doctor — with an evil twin, of course — who informed several cast members they were pregnant, only to end up pregnant himself. Hamm and Lizzo appeared together in other promos that also featured cast members Bowen Yang and Marcello Hernandez .
In one, Yang and Hernandez get the group talking about a few of their favorite things. "OK, everyone, on the count of three, say your favorite food. 1, 2, 3!" Yang says, before everyone screams, "mozzarella sticks!" in unison.
"Whoa, that's weird," says Hamm. "Not that weird," responds Hernandez. "It'd be weird if we all had the same favorite movie.
1, 2, 3!" On cue, all four shout, "'Angels in the Outfield,' the heartwarming 1994 sports comedy starring Danny Glover and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt." "OK, that was weird," observes Lizzo. "Weird and amazing," adds Hamm.
