Kristen Wiig joins SNL’s Five-Timers Club with the help of a wave of cameos
Hamm! Forte! Rudd! Gosling! ‘SNL’ blows open the doors of the Five-Timers Club as Wiig returns to host.
I had a hunch we’d see a guest star or two when Kristen Wiig returned to host Saturday Night Live this weekend — but I had no idea the show was going to unleash what was possibly its biggest cameofest yet.
With this being Wiig’s fifth time hosting SNL, some kind of Five-Timers bit was always on the table for her monologue. As the Five-Timers Club has grown, SNL has turned it into a bigger and bigger thing. A host entering the club either gets a monologue filled with guest stars or a running joke about how their induction into the Five-Timers Club is missing that extravagance.
SNL found a way to do both for Wiig, poking fun at the weight people now give the Five-Timers Club while also eight celebrity cameos in the process.
