    Scarlett Johansson and the cast of Saturday Night Live paid tribute to the show’s 50th season with a musical opening monologue that riffed on Billy Joel’s classic hit “Piano Man.”

    Back for her seventh time hosting, the Jurassic World Rebirth star kicked off the night by proclaiming how “excited” she was “to be hosting the finale of season 50.”

    “I’m so proud to be a part of it.” she said. “You know, I first hosted the show when I was 21 years old, so it’s crazy to be back here, what, like 3 years later. Man, time really flies.” After that, she launched into song.

    “It’s 11:30 on a Saturday, finale of season 50,” she sang. “It’s chaotic and crazy, the whole week is hazy, but there’s no place I’d rather be.”

    Johansson started the monologue solo before she was slowly joined by more of the show’s cast members, beginning with Bowen Yang. “Scarlett, that was beautiful, you mind if I take the next verse?” he asked. “Oh well, it’s sort of my monologue,” she said before the Wicked star also launched into a tune of his own.

    “Sometimes we play likable characters, other times we play J.D. Vance,” he sang. “It’s not always funny, we don’t do it for money, or else Sarah would buy better pants,” they both sang as fellow comedian Sarah Sherman joined them on-stage.

    The Eleanor the Great director closed out SNL‘s 50th season on Saturday night alongside Bad Bunny. Johansson returned for her seventh hosting gig, while the three-time Grammy winner served as the musical guest for the third time after notably doubling as host and musical guest during his last appearance in October 2023.

    Season 50 saw an array of hosts and musical guests, including the likes of Ariana Grande, Charli xcx, Timothée Chalamet, Lady Gaga, Mikey Madison, Morgan Wallen, Jack Black, Jon Hamm, Quinta Brunson and Walton Goggins, among others.
