BY BLAISE SANTI/MARCH 25, 2023 7:15 PM EST

"Saturday Night Live" began in 1975 and quickly became a cultural touchstone
of political satire, sketch comedy, and pop culture takedown. As is the
show's tradition, every episode includes a celebrity host and musical act
(sometimes the same person pulling double duty) who are heavily featured in
that episode's sketches and segments. Some of the show's most iconic guest
performers over the year have included Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Melissa
McCarthy, and Dave Chappelle.

However, some performers have only had the privilege of hosting "Saturday
Night Live" one time, despite having incredibly prolific careers and, in some
cases, being the best at what they do. Hosting "SNL" once is an honor for any
celebrity, but when other hosts recur enough to be inducted into the Five-
Timers Club, we can't help but wonder what's keeping some of these stars from
returning to the halls of 30 Rock and showing their comedic side.

From comedians to athletes to musicians to actors, these 15 faces hosted
episodes that included some of the most memorable moments in the history of
"Saturday Night Live." For some of them, they proved their talents lay beyond
their signature field, while others relished the opportunity to flex the
comedic muscles they've been known to have. Whether some of these performers
someday return to host or not, they can at least be satisfied with the
knowledge that on their very first time hosting NBC's legendary late-night
sketch comedy program, they impressed the audience both in studio and at
home.
