It was a big night for Kristen Wiig Saturday Night Live When she joined the Five-Timers Club. However, she was welcomed into the elite group by a group of non-Five Timing Club members.

“I'm so happy to be back, and I'm so excited because it's my fifth time hosting the show,” the actress and comedian began her speech. So I'm officially in the Five-Timers Club!

She then took some time to honor the comedy show's cast, but soon after, celebrities began appearing, starting with Paul Rudd, who previously joined the club in 2021.

“I also heard a rumor that you might do one of those five-time sketches that feature cameos by hot celebrities,” Rudd said after his appearance in the Studio 8H audience. “So, is there a text or something I can look up?” Unfortunately, Wiig informed the actress that she has no plans to do one of those skits.

However, that didn't necessarily ring true as celebrity appearances continued, with Matt Damon standing in the audience wearing a Five-Timers jacket, even though he only hosted SNL twice.

“But we've hosted five times together,” Forte explained before Rudd jokingly interjected.

“What's going on here? I mean I was really excited to be in the Five-Timers Club, but now it's like, I don't know, it's not even that special,” Wiig asked, sounding frustrated.
