Jack White<\/a> and Jack Black<\/a> were the musical guest and host on this week\u2019s Saturday Night Live, which aired on April 4. The episode, which followed a brief hiatus, saw White and Black celebrate their sixth time playing and fifth hosting the show, respectively: an occasion that could only be marked with a choir-backed rendition of the White Stripes<\/a> classic \u201cSeven Nation Army.\u201d Check out clips from the episode below.<\/p>\n

Black and White\u2019s first collaboration came early in the episode, during Black\u2019s monologue. Joined by fellow five-timers Jonah Hill, Tina Fey (who hosted the premiere<\/a> of SNL UK earlier this year), Candice Bergen, and Melissa McCarthy, Black tries to spiff up the deteriorating and cobweb-covered Five-Timers lounge. After White appears with a literal bang, knocking Domingo (Marcello Hernandez) over the head with a frying pan, the Jacs decide that the only way to fix the lounge is with, in Black\u2019s words, \u201cthe world\u2019s most rockin\u2019 song:\u201d \u201cSeven Nation Army.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Black sung a verse on the country ballad \u201cWords to Live By,\u201d played a harmonizing husband, and taught a unique self-defense course. White also performed the two new songs<\/a> he shared earlier this week, \u201dDerecho Dominico\u201d and \u201cG.O.D. and the Broken Ribs.\u201d The songs mark his first new music since 2024, when he released his most recent album, No Name<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack White and Jack Black were the musical guest and host on this week\u2019s Saturday Night Live, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383469,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282,644],"class_list":["post-383468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tv","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
