In 2019, Jack Black teamed up with Jack White on a Tenacious D song.
The Minecraft star and the former frontman of The White Stripes will team up again, this time on Saturday Night Live.
Black will host the show on April 4 with White as musical guest.
It comes less than a year after Black, who also starred in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, last hosted the NBC show. He appeared on April 5, ostensibly to promote A Minecraft Movie, with Elton John and Brandi Carlile as musical guest.
It seems that Black SNL appearances are like buses, none for ages and then two come along at once – the Shallow Hal star’s last hosting appearance before 2025 was in 2005.
It will also see Black enter the five-timer club as host – he has also appeared as musical guest with his band Tenacious D in December 2006.
When Black and White teamed up for the song Don’t Blow It, Kage, in 2018, they jokingly called it Jack Gray. The song is actually credited as a Tenacious D song with White as producer, having recorded it at the latter’s home studio in Nashville.
White himself has appeared on the show a lot. He appeared in 2002 with The White Stripes and then returned in 2012, 2018, 2020 and 2023 as well as appearing on SNL50: The Homecoming Concert.
