‘Saturday Night Live’ Brings In Tom Hanks, Tina Fey And More To Induct Martin Short Into “Five-Timers Club”
Saturday Night Live lined up Tom Hanks, Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Melissa McCarthy and others to welcome Martin Short into the “Five-Timers Club,” or those who have hosted the show at least five times.
“I just want to say I am so happy to be here for this moment, so I would like to present to you the official Five Timer’s Club jacket in exactly your size — a women’s small,” said Jimmy Fallon.
Short then struggled a bit to get the jacket on.
“From the bottom of my heart, I just want to say, I love most of you so much,” Short told the star-studded grouping.
The cameos were in keeping with the show’s 50th season, which has featured appearances from hosts and former cast members.
Also appearing in the opener were Scarlett Johansson (shutting the door on Colin Jost), Kristen Wiig, Emma Stone, John Mulaney and Alec Baldwin.
Hanks noted at the outset that in December 1990, he created the SNL Five Timers Club, “an ingeniously lazy way to avoid writing a monologue. It has grown into one of the most exclusive clubs in our industry.”
The opener, in a bar lounge setting, was a bit of a roast of Short.
He said to Fey, “You are one of the rarest things in Hollywood — a writer who’s attractive enough to be on camera.”
“And you are one of the least rare things in Hollywood — a loud man,” she replied.
Short got in some roasting of Steve Martin, his Only Murders in the Building co-star, when Hanks told him that they were serving a signature cocktail, the Marty-tini.
“You know, it’s often paired with our Steve Martini, but tonight, we are serving it solo,” Hanks told him.
“And I bet it’s even better on its own,” Short replied.
There was one political reference during the skit.
At one point, Wiig revealed that she and Short “took a hot yoga class together, where we made love and got kicked out…And then we both voted for Trump.”
“Don’t tell them that,” Short shot back.
“It’s Ok. In this club you can be completely honest. Anyone else want to try?” Wiig said.
“I’ll go,” Rudd said. He then revealed: “Ant-Man’s powers aren’t good.”
“I’ll go,” Fey said. “It’s me that’s flying those drones. All of them.”
“I’ll go,” Hanks said. “I never had Covid.”
“I’ll go,” Johansson said. “I have Covid right now.”
“I’ll go,” Baldwin said. “I have way too many children.”…
