Jack White returns to Saturday Night Live tonight, April 4, as the show resumes its schedule after a three-week hiatus. The episode airs live at 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT on NBC, marking Season 51, Episode 16 and the 1,004th installment overall.
When and Where to Watch
The broadcast airs live across the United States on NBC, maintaining the show’s traditional late-night slot. Viewers can also stream the episode in real time through Peacock, NBC’s official platform. That dual access ensures both cable audiences and digital viewers can tune in simultaneously without delay.
Those outside the live window still have a clear path. Full episodes typically land on Peacock the following day, alongside individual sketches and musical segments. Clips are also uploaded across official channels, including Instagram and YouTube.
Host and Musical Guest Lineup
Tonight’s episode pairs White with Jack Black, who hosts for the fifth time, officially entering the Five-Timers Club as its 27th member. Black’s return follows his April 2025 appearance and continues a hosting history that dates back to 2002.
White’s appearance marks his seventh time on the show and his sixth as a solo act. His SNL debut dates to 2002 with The White Stripes, establishing a long-running relationship with the program. Ahead of tonight’s broadcast, he released two new singles, “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico,” both expected to shape the setlist.
What to Expect From the Episode
Promotional clips leaned into the “Black and White” pairing, with playful Easter- and Passover-themed jokes driving early buzz. One teaser featured Black, White, and cast member Marcello Hernández riffing on giving Hernández a “Jack”-inspired nickname.
