Jon Hamm Hosts SNL's April 12 Episode with Lizzo

Jon Hamm returned to host 'Saturday Night Live' for the fourth time on April 12, 2025, marking his first hosting gig in 15 years, alongside musical guest Lizzo. Hamm, known for his numerous cameos on SNL, humorously acknowledged this in his monologue, which featured a guest appearance by Kieran Culkin. The episode included sketches such as 'Check to Check Business News' and a 'White Lotus'-inspired parody called 'The White POTUS.' Despite strong performances and technical execution, the episode's timing felt off, leaving the various elements less cohesive. Hamm's return was well-received, with his comedic skills praised by fellow performers and critics alike. This episode also served as a comeback for Lizzo, who had faced public scrutiny but had a lawsuit against her dismissed in 2024.
