Jack Black and Jack White Perform Seven Nation Army Together During SNL Monologue

Jack Black and Jack White teamed up for a surprise performance of “Seven Nation Army” during the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, delivering a collaborative moment that leaned into the show’s rare double-booking of the two artists.

The crossover occurred during Black’s monologue, which marked his induction into the show’s Five-Timers Club — an honor reserved for hosts who have appeared five times. As part of the segment, Black was joined by several returning members of the club, including Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy, before the sketch pivoted into a musical performance.

White then entered the scene, joining Black for a reworked rendition of “Seven Nation Army,” the signature 2003 single by The White Stripes.

The performance featured altered lyrics referencing the Five-Timers Club and the night’s episode, while maintaining the song’s iconic guitar riff.

“The musical guest is my brother from another color, Jack White,” the similarly named comedian quips before breaking out into an air guitar solo. “And because I’m hosting the show for the one, two, three, four — count ’em — fifth time!”

Originally released on The White Stripes’ album Elephant, “Seven Nation Army” has become one of the most recognizable rock songs of the 21st century, known for its enduring riff and widespread use in sports and popular culture. White has continued to perform the track throughout his solo career, while also revisiting his catalog in various live settings

Black, meanwhile, is no stranger to musical performances within comedy, both through his work with Tenacious D and his previous appearances on Saturday Night Live.
