Guess who just made SNL history? Our girl Scarlett Johansson crashed through the glass ceiling at Studio 8H last night!
The 40-year-old revelation just wrapped her seventh hosting gig, officially claiming the crown as the female star with the most SNL appearances ever.
Queen of Comedy
Before Saturday’s epic season finale, ScarJo was neck-and-neck with comedy legends Tina Fey and Drew Barrymore at six appearances each.
Her SNL journey kicked off way back in 2006, and she’s been dropping by regularly ever since.
Talk about staying power in an industry that’s always chasing the next big thing!
Memorable Monologue Magic
ScarJo didn’t just show up – she absolutely slayed! Her opening bit featured a killer Billy Joel parody that had the whole cast joining in.
Bowen Yang, Sarah Sherman, and the crew couldn’t resist jumping on this musical masterpiece that perfectly captured the SNL vibe.
Sketch Superstar
Throughout the night, Johansson morphed into everything from a straight-faced news anchor to a TV show moderator.
Her chameleon-like ability to transform into these characters reminded us why she’s been invited back so many times. Nobody commits to the bit quite like Scarlett!
Bad Bunny Brings the Heat
The musical vibes were immaculate with Bad Bunny serving as the night’s musical guest.
The 31-year-old sensation performed “Nuevayol” solo before teaming up with RaiNao for “Perfumito Nuevo” – both fresh tracks from his latest album with that super relatable title: “I Should Have Taken More Photos.”
Season 50 Wrap-Up
What a milestone season it’s been! From Jean Smart kicking things off last September to this epic finale, SNL’s 50th season delivered non-stop laughs.
The parade of hosts included everyone from Ariana Grande to Chris Rock, while musical guests ranged from Coldplay to Lizzo.
Triple-Threat Club
Let’s not forget those overachievers who pulled double duty this season!
Charli XCX, Timothée Chalamet, and Lady Gaga all hosted AND performed – because apparently being insanely talented in one area just wasn’t enough for them!
The Baldwin Benchmark
While ScarJo may now reign supreme among female hosts, she’s still got a ways to go before catching the all-time champ.
Alec Baldwin holds the overall record with a whopping 17 hosting appearances. Maybe by season 60?
What’s Next?
SNL will be back before we know it with fresh faces and sketches that’ll have us spitting out our drinks.
Until then, we’ll just have to rewatch our favorite ScarJo moments and wonder who might break her record next!
