Jack Black is set to host the April 4 episode of Saturday Night Live, with Jack White serving as the musical guest. The announcement highlights their past collaboration on a 2019 Tenacious D track.
Saturday Night Live has lined up Jack Black as host and Jack White as musical guest for its April 4 episode. The pairing draws attention due to the musicians' prior joint effort: in 2019, White teamed up with Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D for the one-off recording “Don’t Blow It, Kage.” The source refers to the duo as Jack Gray and anticipates they may share the screen during the show, though this remains unconfirmed beyond that expectation. White released his latest album, No Name, in 2024. Separately, Kyle Gass noted in January that he and Black have reconciled after a Tenacious D performance involving a joke about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. In related developments, the new spinoff Saturday Night Live UK will premiere on March 21, hosted by Tina Fey with musical performance by Wet Leg, the Isle of Wight band.
