His last appearance was in Dec. 2023. Mary Ellen Matthews/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty With his 13-time hosting track record, it's hard to believe that John Goodman didn't make the cut as an officialSNLcast member. However, theConnersactor was very candid about the fact that his 1980 audition was "the worst thing he had ever done in front of people." "I just knew they'd hire me because I'm a good guy," the actor joked while onTheTonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."I wrote something about 15 minutes before I went over and, God, it was awful." Will Heath/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Tom Hanks' comedy chops are tried and true, so it's no wonder the folks atSNLcan't get enough of him. TheForrest Gumpactor has hosted the show 10 times and is credited for having coined the "Five-Timers Club," into which he was inducted during his fifth time hosting back in 1990. Al Levine/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty But before there was a Five-Timers Club to even aspire to, Buck Henry was the first actor to reach the benchmark. The actor hosted the show a total of 10 times. His last hosting gig was in 1980; he died in 2020. Dana Edelson/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty HostingSaturday Night Liveisn't just work for Scarlett Johansson — it also introduced her to her husband, Colin Jost. Theymet during her first appearance back in 2006, but didn't begin dating until 2017. She would go on to host the show five more times and will be adding a sixth with tonight's episode, earning her the title of seven-time host. (Just don't look for the two of them to kiss on camera!) Will Heath/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty An in-house talent (who began his career in theSNLwriters' room), John Mulaney has hostedSNLa total of six times. Now known for brilliant comedy specials such asBaby J, The Comeback KidandKid Gorgeous and Radio City,plus his new live talk showEverybody's Live with John Mulaney,Mulaney was on staff from 2008 to 2013. Herb Ball/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty It's hard to believe thatChevy Chaseonly did one season ofSNL,and that's partially because he's hosted the show eight times since his departure. The actor — who pioneered the role of the anchor for the "Weekend Update" segment — last hosted in 1997. NBC AnSNLfavorite,Christopher Walkenhas hosted the show seven times, taking part in iconic sketches such as "Meet the Family," "Colonel Angus Comes Home," and "More Cowbell." He last hosted in 2008. NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Many will rememberElliot Gouldas the bumbling, oft-inappropriate father to Ross and Monica Geller onFriends,but the actor has also lent his talents to the NBC late-night show. He hosted six times, his last appearance being in 1980. Dana Edelson/NBCU Photo A belovedSNLlegend,Tina Feyrose to prominence as head writer and cast member on the show. She also served as a "Weekend Update" anchor from 2000 to 2006, before leaving the show. She's since made several comebacks, having hostedSNLsix times. Raymond Bonar/NBCU Photo Danny DeVitohas also hosted the show six times, first in 1982 and most recently in 1999.
