Who is hosting SNL tonight (June 14, 2025)? Explored
As viewers tune in to SNL this Saturday, June 14, 2025, they will not find a new episode. Instead, NBC will rebroadcast the season 50 episode from April 5, 2025, featuring Jack Black in his fourth appearance as host, alongside musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile.
The encore will air in the regular 11:30 p.m. ET / 10:30 p.m. CT timeslot on NBC and will be available for streaming the following day on Peacock. As per the NBC report dated June 14, 2025, the show entered its customary summer hiatus after Scarlett Johansson concluded the season on May 17. Tonight’s rebroadcast fills the programming gap with one of the season’s most high-profile installments.
The April 5, 2025, episode garnered attention for the digital short Goth Kid on Vacation and a cold open featuring Mike Myers as Elon Musk. SNL tailored sketches to Jack Black’s musical-comedy style. Fans seeking fresh SNL content must wait for the fall premiere lineup.
Jack Black hosts SNL on June 14, 2025
The rebroadcast drops viewers back into SNL Season 50’s sixteenth outing, where Jack Black led a night packed with custom-fit material. The cold open paired James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump with Mike Myers’ Elon Musk unveiling a self-vandalizing Tesla, while Andrew Dismukes delivered Wall Street panic.
Black’s musical monologue followed, springboarding off an Aerosmith riff. Jack Black stated:
“How dare you play that riff? That’s not fair,” before launching into a Back in the Saddle parody with a marching band.
Sketches kept pace: Love Match: Indiana Jones framed Black as a whip-wearing bachelor who “doesn’t know” the famed archaeologist.
The First Play spoofed ancient Greek theatre etiquette. Bowen Yang, Chloe Fineman, and Sarah Sherman circled through One Uppers and Making Love, while Bass Lake crammed too many bassists into a single jam session. The night’s standout digital short, Goth Kid on Vacation, recast Michael Longfellow’s beach-averse teen with Black channeling My Chemical Romance over reggae.
Weekend Update sparked viral chatter when Ego Nwodim’s Ms. Eggy prodded the crowd into an uncensored expletive. Nwodim remarked:
“We finna get fined for that...Worth a damn,’ sucka. Y’all gonna have to pay for that. Lorne [Michaels] gonna be mad at y’all."
Musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile split the show with Little Richard’s Bible and Who Believes in Angels?, and the goodnights closed on a silent Val Kilmer tribute.
A brief look at Jack Black’s career
Jack Black’s path from child commercial actor to star spans four decades. Raised in Hermosa Beach, he parlayed a 1982 Pitfall! spot into early film work, later gaining wider attention with a scene-stealing role in High Fidelity (2000).
Headlining roles soon followed: School of Rock earned him his first Golden Globe nomination, cemented his live-wire reputation on SNL, and launched a run of comedy leads from Nacho Libre to Tropic Thunder.
His versatility extends to animation, voicing Po in the long-running Kung Fu Panda series and Bowser in the 2023 global hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Beyond acting, Black fronts the Grammy-winning rock duo Tenacious D, and his YouTube channel, Jablinski Games, has surpassed five million subscribers.
A recent resurgence includes the Jumanji sequels, Goosebumps, and A Minecraft Movie (2025). His award milestones range from a Children’s & Family Emmy to a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Frequent SNL hosting appearances underscore how the show remains a showcase for his comedic and musical range within the NBC lineup.
