Jack Black and Jack White traded biblical metal references in promos for this weekend's Saturday Night Live. Black called Easter and Passover the two most metal holidays of all time. The episode marks Black's fifth time hosting and White's sixth as musical guest.
In newly released promos for Saturday Night Live, host Jack Black and musical guest Jack White celebrated the upcoming Easter and Passover holidays with heavy metal flair. “It’s the Easter show, baby!” White declared, as Black added, “And the Passover show, homey — the two most metal holidays of all time!” The duo then riffed on biblical imagery, with Black flashing the horns sign while shouting “Lamb’s blood!,” White responding “Rising from the dead!,” and Black capping it with “Exodus!” SNL cast member Marcello Hernandez attempted to join in with “The Easter Bunny!,” but Black shut it down with “No,” and White lamented, “You ruined it.” Elsewhere, Hernandez described White as “the opposite of Jack Black,” while Black hailed White as legendary. This Saturday's episode is Black's fifth hosting gig and White's sixth musical guest appearance, following his debut with The White Stripes in 2002. Black is promoting his role voicing Bowser in the recently released The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. His earlier track “Peaches” from the Super Mario Bros. Movie reached No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023. Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC and streams on Peacock.
