Saturday Night Live is celebrating its 50th season, showcasing various hosts including actors, comedians, and surprisingly athletes. Notable athletes like Dwayne Johnson and Tom Brady have stepped onto the iconic stage, each bringing their unique flavor to the show. Although not always successful, their appearances attract attention, particularly after high-profile events, as demonstrated by Lindsay Shookus’s strategy of booking athletes post-Super Bowl. The exclusivity of being invited to host highlights the show's unique balance of entertainment and unpredictability, with only a select number of athletes making the cut.
Dwayne Johnson, the wrestler turned movie star known as the Rock, has hosted five times, the most of any athlete.
There is no guarantee an athlete's monologue will be successful or the sketches funny, but only about three dozen have received an invite.
