Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00][music] [applause] [cheering] >> Thank you.

[00:00:09]>> [applause] >> THANK YOU.

[00:00:13]THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:00:15]>> [applause] >> IT'S GREAT TO be here hosting Saturday Night Live for THE FIFTH TIME.

[00:00:20]>> [cheering] [applause] >> NOW, AS YOU KNOW, tomorrow's Mother's Day, so if you don't mind, I'd like to deliver a special message to my [music] mother.

[00:00:36]Mom, growing up you always taught me that honesty was the best policy. So now for Mother's Day, I've decided to give you the gift of truth.

[00:00:51]Do you remember that blue vase with the hand-painted buttercups on it?

[00:00:55]And you never figured out what happened to it?

[00:00:58]Well, I was playing catch in the house and I broke it.

[00:01:02]Okay, that wasn't so bad. Let's keep on going.

[00:01:05]Mom, you know how in second grade when I told you I lost my report card?

[00:01:10]Well, I threw it out cuz I failed spelling.

[00:01:13]And you remember the time you left me in the parking lot for the weekend locked in the car with the windows all rolled up?

[00:01:19]>> [laughter] >> I'm the one that broke the side window.

[00:01:23]It was just so hot in there.

[00:01:27]I couldn't breathe.

[00:01:30]Also, I changed all the stations on the radio.

[00:01:33]Oh, and you you know that time you made me go to school for a week wearing a dress because you wished you'd had a girl?

[00:01:41]Well, I have to confess I only wore it for the first 2 days.

[00:01:44]The other days I changed at the gas station.

[00:01:47]Not in the pants or anything, but another dress, one that was more flattering.

[00:01:51]And Mom, you remember how you kept Grandma locked in the basement because she was bad.

[00:01:59]Well, I used to sneak her food.

[00:02:02]I'm sorry.

[00:02:03]And one last thing, the time you took me for that long drive in the middle of the night and then dumped me on the side of the highway and as you drove away you screamed, "See you, I'll see you, wouldn't want to be you."

[00:02:17]Well, the truth is I I didn't walk home, I hitched and I know you told me never to hitch.

[00:02:23]Sorry.

[00:02:26]Well, there you go, Mom. I hope you have it in that great big heart of yours to forgive me. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you.

[00:02:34]Now, this going to be a great show. The Pretenders are here and we'll BE RIGHT BACK.

[00:02:39]>> [applause] [cheering] [cheering] [applause] >> THIS IS TRULY truly an honor for me to be hosting Saturday Night Live for, can you believe it, the seventh time.

[00:03:01]>> [applause and cheering] >> Which is it's kind of special and let me explain why. Now, when you host five times, you become a member of the five-timers club and that's great cuz you know why?

[00:03:11]You know what that gets you? 50% off at all participating Red Lobsters.

[00:03:17]And when you host six times, it gets even better.

[00:03:21]Lorne personally hands you the keys to a brand new Mercedes convertible SL.

[00:03:26]And then he has you drive him to the opera.

[00:03:29]But, the seventh time, that's the best.

[00:03:34]Because you don't have to do the monologue.

[00:03:39]That's right.

[00:03:40]You can use this time to do anything you want.

[00:03:43]>> [laughter] >> Like right now, I want to sit down.

[00:03:57]>> Why, thank you. You have a receipt, sir?

[00:03:59]Thank you, supermodel Elle Macpherson.

[00:04:03]>> [applause and cheering] [applause] >> She's a 10 and I'm a 7.

[00:04:12]>> [applause] [cheering] >> Great.

[00:04:16]Now, I'm just going to kick back and enjoy my beverage of choice.

[00:04:20]A 7 and 7.

[00:04:22]>> [laughter] >> Ah.

[00:04:25]This reminds me of my movie King Ralph, which seven people went to see.

[00:04:29]>> [laughter] [applause] >> Coincidence? I think not.

[00:04:40]>> [laughter] >> You know what's really cool when you host 7 times?

[00:04:44]You get to play with Lauren's secret remote control.

[00:04:48]Now, watch this.

[00:04:52]There's the control room. Cool, huh?

[00:04:54]That's Molly rehearsing her lines. Oh, yeah.

[00:05:00]That's Tim. I don't know what he's doing.

[00:05:05]Ladies room, cool.

[00:05:09]Here it goes, Nancy Walls.

[00:05:13]And that's Mark McKinney.

[00:05:15]>> [laughter] >> I've seen that one already. What else?

[00:05:21]Oh, yeah.

[00:05:23]That's Norm getting ready FOR UPDATE.

[00:05:27]WE GOT A GREAT [cheering] SHOW, EVERYBODY HERE, >> [applause] >> so stick around.

[00:05:33]>> [cheering] [applause] >> Thank you very much.

[00:05:39]>> [cheering] [applause] >> Thank you.

[00:05:48]I just want to say I I hosted the show numerous times.

[00:05:52]This is NUMBER 13 NOW.

[00:05:55]>> [cheering] [applause] >> I ALWAYS LIKE COMING HERE. IT'S IT'S LIKE FAMILY, like coming home. But it feels extra special to be in New York right now.

[00:06:09]>> [cheering and applause] >> You know, the the city the city is just so resilient.

[00:06:16]And the best example of that is the New York Yankees.

[00:06:21]>> [applause] >> How about them coming from behind the bottom of the ninth with two outs, not once, but twice to win the game?

[00:06:29]YOU KNOW, >> [cheering and applause] >> I FEEL A LITTLE SORRY FOR THAT ARIZONA relief pitcher, Kim, who gave up both home runs, but you can't help but be happy for New York. And the Yankees have inspired me so much by their last-minute heroics that I decided not to plan on anything for the monologue. I just come out here and >> [laughter] >> at the last minute something would happen.

[00:06:55]>> [applause] >> Here we go.

[00:06:58]Here we go.

[00:07:01]>> [cheering] >> Starting to feel it.

[00:07:05]>> [laughter] >> Going to get my lightning in a bottle.

[00:07:10]>> [sighs and gasps] >> This isn't working.

[00:07:12]>> [laughter] >> Starting to feel shooting pains up my arm.

[00:07:16]>> [laughter] >> Be like the Yankees. Be like the Yankees.

[00:07:21]Wally, they lost 15 to 2.

[00:07:24]>> [laughter] >> It's not good.

[00:07:28]This isn't working out.

[00:07:31]Maybe I can help you out, John. Who are you?

[00:07:34]I'm Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher, YOUNG YOUNG KIM.

[00:07:39]>> [applause and cheering] >> ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS RELIEF PITCHER Young Young Kim, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Arizona tonight? I'd rather not talk about it.

[00:07:51]>> [laughter] >> I just thought I could help out tonight.

[00:07:54]I think you've helped New York enough.

[00:07:56]Have a seat and enjoy the show. Oh my god, thank you.

[00:08:00]Everyone in New York has been so nice to me since Thursday.

[00:08:06]That's great. Just cross it off.

[00:08:08]>> Okay.

[00:08:09]Why?

[00:08:10]>> [applause] >> Have a great show.

[00:08:12]We have a great show. Ja Rule is here, stick around, we'll be right back.
