Scarlett Johansson closes out SNL’s 50th season with a reflective finale, marking her record-breaking seventh hosting stint. Catch the highlights of the emotional send-off and musical moments.
Saturday Night Live closed out its milestone 50th season with a heartfelt and reflective finale, hosted by none other than Scarlett Johansson. The Hollywood star, who has now hosted the show a record-breaking seven times, brought a mix of nostalgia, humor, and musical flair to the final episode, making it a memorable send-off.
A Musical Tribute to SNL’s Legacy
Set to the tune of Billy Joel’s iconic Piano Man, the performance was a tribute to the highs and lows of the season, touching on everything from political satire to viral sketches. The cast, including Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim, Mikey Day, and Heidi Gardner, joined Johansson in singing about the journey of the 50th season, celebrating the show’s enduring legacy.
Weekend Update: A Personal Touch
One of the standout moments of the night came during Weekend Update, where Johansson’s husband, Colin Jost, and co-anchor Michael Che continued their tradition of swapping jokes written for each other. In a surprising twist, Che was forced to publicly apologize to Johansson for a past joke comparing her to “Costco roast beef,” a moment that drew laughter and applause from the audience.
Behind-the-Scenes Shenanigans
The finale also featured a hilarious pre-recorded sketch where Johansson found herself entangled in a fictional affair with cast member Bowen Yang, who jokingly revealed he had only been pretending to be gay “for the clout.” The absurdity escalated when Johansson discovered Yang had also been secretly involved with other cast members and guest star Emily Ratajkowski.
Bad Bunny’s Musical Cameo
Adding to the night’s entertainment, musical guest Bad Bunny made a surprise appearance in a sketch parodying air travel. The skit, featuring the comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy, turned a luxurious first-class flight into a chaotic adventure landing at Newark Airport.
