Jack Black Returns to SNL, Delivers Energetic Performance

Jack Black returned to host Saturday Night Live for the first time in 20 years, bringing high energy and musical flair to the show. His performance included a lively monologue and various sketches tailored to his comedic style, such as a dating-show contestant and a musician leading a jam session. The cold open featured James Austin Johnson's well-received Trump impersonation, alongside a jab at Morgan Wallen, who exited the previous week's show unexpectedly. Critics noted that while some sketches felt familiar, Black's unique comedic rhythm kept the show engaging. The episode also featured musical performances by Elton John and Brandi Carlile, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Overall, Black's return was celebrated, with many hoping it won't take another two decades for him to host again.
