In live television, you know there's at least _one_ person in the control room whose job it is to ensure every sketch maintains the amount of time allocated for it. Starting out with an ovation for Tom Hanks that went on and on and on is enough to elicit sheer panic. Knowing there were ELEVEN others waiting in the wings? That's when they pull out the flask.
I read an article that was complaining about the cameos because they were a disservice to Martin Short. And watching the cold open, and knowing Martin Short’s style, it felt like an homage to a legend that all these people came for this opening out of respect and acknowledgment. He is also a “generous” performer who enjoys helping other people shine. I thought this was delightful and also gave great respect to a wonderful comedian.
Your analysis is exactly the vibe I took away from it, ten other legendary stars showed up I was impressed with the turnout, I'm sure he had a blast and wasn't in any way offended lol
I think the cameos would’ve been better received if they had been written better… the whole thing was awkward and it dragged on … it honestly felt lazy
I wanted Steve Martin come in carrying a drink on a tray and Martin Short takes a sip and spits it out and throws the drink in Steve’s face while ordering him to get him a new drink and to make it right this time.
@@Chelsea_E_Lindsay Thank you so much, Chelsea! That means a lot! It feels great to know people actually enjoy my stupid comments! Hope you have a wonderful holiday as well! 👘🙌
Steve Martin, his close buddy in comedy, wanted to be there but could not make it. Martin Short made a crack about it saying, "“He would’ve been here tonight, but he had a conflict with me not wanting him to be here." Steve Martin and Martin Short are great together, and" Only Murders in the Building" in their 70s is proving it beyond a doubt. It was nice that SNL pulled this lineup together to make this work for Martin Short's fifth hosting episode this week.
Just needed Steve Martin, they got an impressive bunch of 5-Timers!!! I loved all the jokes, especially Melissa spraying beer everywhere and crashing through the 5th wall, lol 😂
Imagine the respect for Martin Short that all these A list celebs went down to 30 rockefeller on a saturday night to do this cold open for him, what a legend
Oh my god, it felt SO FREAKING GOOD to see a full length Five Timers Club sketch again; as well as my boy Marty FINALLY getting inducted as a member! I swear, I was cheering so loud, I almost went COMPLETELY DEAF by the time they reached “Live from New York” 😂😁
@ Step aside hater. NOBODY, not even Mr. Steve "you so cringe" whatever his last name is or "dattgirl 'go to bed, Jesse' official" is bringing my mood down tonight! I’m on top of the freaking world and no ones ever gonna bring me down! 😁😁😁
Yep, he's the Scottie Pippin of comedy -- all about the assist and elevating his other cast members. Glad to see he's getting credit for a career of side-splitting jokes and skits.
I'm so happy the age of social media has brought back Martin short through his RUclips clip gold which wasn't even a concept back then. Except for VH1 clip shows I guess. But the control of the media has shifted to the viewer in some aspects and we say we love Martin short. Jungle to jungle wasnt great because of Tim Allen. It was Martin kicking up the comedic moments.
They made good hay of that over the years. In many 5-timers sketches, he had to serve drinks or provide the jacket. Having Fallon fill that punching bag roll going forward was a solid choice.
Every time he hosts, it's in December. Looks like they give him a hosting spot about once every ten years. (This is the first time he's hosted twice in one decade, with his last hosting appearance in 2022)
Happy to see Alec in this. After the last couple years and an incident he had no real control over, I hope to see him back on his feet soon. What a legend.
The only one I feel sorry for is that poor baby girl who has to grow up without her mother plus all of Baldwin's movies didn't make a major impact and are forgotten. I don't understand how he became a A lister
It took Martin 38 years to get there and he earned it! He took the longest to get in the club of anyone else and Steve Martin took the shortest (1 year 181 days).
When Scarlett was looking at her husband Colin, Did she tell him to leave? I thought I heard her say, "Colin, Will you get out of here?" I noticed he was smiling at her
9:15 Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but was this the first “live from New York” for Marty, Emma, and maybe others? Must’ve especially been a special moment for Emma, considering how much she loves the show.
Martin Short, Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost, Kristen Weeig, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthey and Jimmy Fallon in the same scene, wow 🤩it can be happening also at SNL!!😉🤩🤩 Now I’m dreaming a movie with all of them!😉😅
But dumbass, that would imply that Baldwin actually committed some type of murder ? and there's nothing that could be further from the truth. There was Zero evidence that there was a even a involuntary manslaughter or negligence involved. The man was 100% exonerated and declared not responsible for any of it. And I'm talking numerous different investigations and they all came up with that same conclusion eventually. Your comment reeks a pure unadulterated biased political jealousy
Wow my mouth is on the floor. So many great cameos! So many of my favorite people all in one sketch! I was not expecting any of that! This has to be my new favorite sketch!! SNL you killed it with this one!!!! More like this please!!!!!! 😱😮😁😊😂🥲

I think the cameos would’ve been better received if they had been written better… the whole thing was awkward and it dragged on … it honestly felt lazy
Where was Steve Martin?
My favorite subtle joke was Scarlett slamming the door on Colin then going back to make sure it was closed so he wouldn't be inside The 5 Timers Club.
aka >.
How was that a subtle joke? You have low standards.
😅 right? That was epic!!
The slam was JOST right!
Going back wasn't the subtle part, it was cause the door didn't fully close the first time haha
Paul Rudd’s “Who are you talking to?” was genius since he got his 5 timers award in front of no audience
😂😂😂😂
Too funny! I had no idea.
Remember he was giving away waters to those young voters waiting in line. They all voted for Trump
That's not even part of the joke but ok... Genius
Great reminder. Thanks 😂

@@jimrebr Yesss! They had me going for a second, when they mentioned Steve Martin...
It was one for the books It really was
Everything about this was fabulous! Scarlett slamming the door on Colin was so good as was Melissa McCarthy falling through the wall!
and getting splashed!
I was hoping she did not get hurt. She's the only one there that I truly like or get into.
She’s in one of my favorite Christmas sketches. She’s a dancer at the Mall with Keenan & Bowen. 😂
If by "fabulous" you mean lame, I completely agree. Though the current cast members joke was good.
I was reading comments just to find out who that was. Didn't recognize Melissa McCarthy at all. Kristen was almost unrecognizable too.
It’s Martin and Jimmy struggling to get the coat on and Martin shoving jimmy off that gets me 😂😂
This cast was absolutely stacked!
9:15 I love Tom Hanks jumping up and down in the background
I see Dan Akroyd’s own vodka brand bottles on the shelf. It’s the small things.
Aaawesome, haha.

I adore Martin Short.
He is finally getting the mega attention he has deserved all along.
I love how even after working with Paul Rudd for an entire season on Only Murders in the Building, he’s still like “full name Paul”
Yep, he's the Scottie Pippin of comedy -- all about the assist and elevating his other cast members. Glad to see he's getting credit for a career of side-splitting jokes and skits.
Jimminy Glick is the best character
I'm so happy the age of social media has brought back Martin short through his RUclips clip gold which wasn't even a concept back then. Except for VH1 clip shows I guess. But the control of the media has shifted to the viewer in some aspects and we say we love Martin short. Jungle to jungle wasnt great because of Tim Allen. It was Martin kicking up the comedic moments.
Even though...he's not a strong swimmer...
Honestly, the most surprising thing about this is that Martin Short wasn’t already a member. Bravo!
When I saw he was hosting, my first thought was that it would be his 6th time! I seriously thought he was already a member
It’s shocking to me that it took literal decades.
They made good hay of that over the years. In many 5-timers sketches, he had to serve drinks or provide the jacket. Having Fallon fill that punching bag roll going forward was a solid choice.
Every time he hosts, it's in December. Looks like they give him a hosting spot about once every ten years. (This is the first time he's hosted twice in one decade, with his last hosting appearance in 2022)
Don’t forget, it was Martin who served Timberlake a martini when he got his 5-timer
Happy to see Alec in this. After the last couple years and an incident he had no real control over, I hope to see him back on his feet soon. What a legend.
The only one I feel sorry for is that poor baby girl who has to grow up without her mother plus all of Baldwin's movies didn't make a major impact and are forgotten. I don't understand how he became a A lister
I smiled the entire time ❤
Nothing more fitting than 'JACKET BOYYYYYYY!'
It took Martin 38 years to get there and he earned it! He took the longest to get in the club of anyone else and Steve Martin took the shortest (1 year 181 days).
From waiter to Club member, way to go Martin Short!! So many great actors to welcome you!! 🎉🎉🎉 best SNL opening in a looong time
