Welcome to the club, Kristen Wiig!
On April 6, 2024, the actress, 50, became the latest celebrity to join SNL's Five-Timers Club, a.k.a. the group of stars who've hosted the show five times or more.
According to NBC, it was actually Tom Hanks who started the club, when he was "inducted" as part of a sketch on the Dec. 8, 1990 episode. But there were already five members when he joined — and there are now 25 in total, with more official fanfare around hitting the milestone, too.
Here, a list of every member of SNL's Five-Timers Club.
