Put Lorne Michaels on trial for crimes against his audience: attempted murder via overexertion. Screaming for this many cameos could pop a blood vessel, or deny the brain oxygen, or possibly even a third bad thing. Host Martin Short was finally inducted into the Five Timers Club by, arguably, too many fellow five timers. Here’s the full list:
➽ Tom Hanks
➽ Paul Rudd
➽ Tina Fey
➽ Alec Baldwin
➽ Scarlett Johansson
➽ Kristen Wiig
➽ Emma Stone
➽ Melissa McCarthy
➽ John Mulaney
Jimmy Fallon was also there.
Some secrets privy to only the denizens of Club 5 (and the cameras and studio audience that reside within): Paul Rudd knows Ant-Man’s powers are bad, Alec Baldwin knows he has too many kids, Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig have hooked up in the past, and very well may do it again in the future. Martin Short has done hot yoga, which ended in hooking up with Kristen Wiig.
Short took his time getting into the Five Timers Club, first hosting the show in 1986 — a joint venture with Steve Martin and Chevy Chase. Then one in 1996, 2012, and another collab with Steve Martin in 2022. Weirdly, Chase wasn’t present for that one.
