Kristen Wiig joined Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers Club during her April 6, 2024 hosting appearance, with a celebrity-filled monologue, a mix of new characters and returning favorites, and musical performances by Raye. Peacock identifies it as Season 49, Episode 16, with Wiig as host and Raye as musical guest.
What happened when Kristen Wiig joined the Five-Timers Club?
Wiig earned her Five-Timers Club jacket during the monologue of the April 6, 2024 episode. The club marks performers who have hosted SNL five times. The Los Angeles Times recap described the induction as the centerpiece of a monologue that brought together current and former performers, along with other celebrity guests.

The cameo roster included Jon Hamm, Paul Rudd, Martin Short, Will Forte, former SNL writer Paula Pell, Matt Damon, Fred Armisen, Ryan Gosling, and Kaia Gerber. They appeared across the monologue and episode; the recap does not place every guest in the jacket sequence itself.
Which sketches and characters stood out?
The Los Angeles Times recap highlighted Wiig’s range of comic roles, including several new characters and the return of a familiar one.
#1 Best Overall
- Tootie: a fast-talking secretary.
- The retirement-party smoker: a woman carrying an oxygen tank.
- “La Maison Du Bang”: a hyperactive French dancer.
- The Jumanji fear: a woman worried she might be “Jumanji’d.”
- The go-kart-track mother: a mother navigating a day at the track.
- Aunt Linda: Wiig brought back the character for a Weekend Update throwback.
The recap singled out the episode’s combination of fresh character work and a returning Wiig favorite, rather than presenting the show as only a Five-Timers celebration.
Who was the musical guest, and what did Raye perform?
Raye was the musical guest. The Los Angeles Times recap reports that she performed “Escapism” and a medley combining “Worth It” with “Let There Be Light.” Peacock’s episode listing confirms Raye’s billing as performer.
