Jack Black Returns to SNL Tonight with Elton John & Brandi Carlile
Tonight is a big one for Saturday Night Live fans, and yes — SNL is airing a brand-new episode this Saturday, April 5, 2025! As the iconic sketch comedy show winds down its milestone 50th season, it’s pulling out all the stops with a power-packed lineup that’s both nostalgic and exciting. Buckle up, because Jack Black is back to host, and the legendary Elton John is hitting the musical stage alongside the brilliant Brandi Carlile. This is one episode you won’t want to miss.
Jack Black returns to Studio 8H for the first time in two decades, marking his fourth time hosting. While he’s no stranger to the SNL stage, it’s wild to think it’s been 20 years since his last appearance. In the promo teasers, Jack brings his trademark energy and chaos, jokingly confusing cast members Ego Nwodim and Ashley Padilla by treating the set more like a dinner party than a live television show. From preparing soggy asparagus to demanding Michael Longfellow remove his shoes, Jack’s antics are already setting the tone for what’s bound to be a hilariously unpredictable night.

He’s also got a lot going on outside of SNL. Jack currently stars alongside Jason Momoa in the upcoming Minecraft Movie , and fans still love him for classics like School of Rock , Kung Fu Panda , and The Super Mario Bros. Movie . His comedic timing, musical flair, and chaotic charisma make him the perfect host to usher in the final stretch of Season 50.
And the music? Absolute fire. Elton John and Brandi Carlile are tonight’s musical guests, fresh off the release of their new joint album, Who Believes in Angels? , which just dropped on April 4. Brandi described the collaboration as “life-affirming,” and honestly, it shows. Their creative chemistry is electric, and getting to see them perform together live on SNL feels like witnessing a piece of music history. Carlile, who already performed at SNL: The Homecoming Concert , is no stranger to the stage — and paired with Elton’s legendary catalog and stage presence, tonight’s performance is shaping up to be unforgettable.
So if you’re wondering what to do tonight, wonder no more. Set your reminder, grab your favorite snacks, and tune into Saturday Night Live at 11:30/10:30c on NBC — or stream it next day on Peacock. With Jack Black bringing the chaos and Elton John & Brandi Carlile bringing the soul, this is SNL at its absolute best.
