Adam Driver should be higher, he literally makes SNL better everytime he's on. All of the skits are classics and you can tell he treats the show with reverence for whats come before. Its actually quite surprising he wasnt in the top 5 he brings something special

[@heluce174]

Totally agree.

[@nacole182]

Agree whole heartedly!!!!!

[@Wildflower5258_]

But he hasn't been on SNL long enough.

[@otterspotter]

Betty White was amazing for showing up. I actually did watch Golden Girls growing up. We didn't have cable and it was the funniest show on at the time. I loved her character. But Estelle was the best actress on that show.

[@sherrymcdonald6594]

My favorite host was Pedro Pascal he was so good in all of the sketches and his monologue was great.

[@chucky110]

That hospital bed sketch despite how stupid it was, hilarious.

[@JohannadRobles]

He should have been in the list… even as an honorable mention

[@shawnuel]

I have no problem with her not being on the list but I always thought Anne Hathaway was severely underrated for her hosting gigs.

[@TallSilhouette]

Adam Driver at 17 is a travesty. No one else has had such a high ratio and volume of hit sketches (maybe Melissa McCarthy).

[@tamarak9393]

The undercover boss skit is one of my favourites.

[@deementia6796]

Maybe Top 10, but he's got a LONG way to go to reach Martin, Goodman, Hanks, Baldwin and Walken. Steve Martin is definitely the best, considering he's done a great job just about every time he's returned .. a phenomenal 48+ years.

[@alanwong8195]

I can't believe you left Ryan Gosling off the list. Also, Kerry Washington has been pretty impressive when she's hosted, as has Sandra Oh.

[@csic123]

You left out Drake

[@jaylene.turner6524]

The late Chadwick Boseman was my favorite host.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

That’s a lie. But I get why you’re saying it lol. Trying to get likes

[@Bman32x]

God I laughed so hard at his sketches.

[@jodiramberg707]

Betty Whites monologue was the best I’ve ever heard!!! 😂

[@originalbk]

ADAM DRIVER IS WORTHY OF TOP 5 AT LEAST! I've been WAITING since January 2020 for him to host again.

[@LarryGonzalez00]

That's a pretty tight list. Honorable mention to Chance The Rapper. I had never heard of him until he hosted SNL. I presume that rapping is his bread and butter, but he's so funny you'd think he was a stand up or improv comic by trade.

[@garymeise673]

He absolutely killed it. I would have put them in the top 20

[@The_Keh27]

I know it's fairly recent but Pedro Pasqual was one of my faves

[@denisem8356]

❤ Betty White!

[@celticpoet21]

Good list. I hope Pedro Pascale hosts again. He should have at least been an honorable mention.

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! My all time favorite is De Niro and Pesci who came to The Joe Pesci show uninvited. 🤣

[@CarolHardesty]

My favorites are Melissa McCarthy, Justin Timberlake, Paul Rudd, Tom Hanks, and Pedro Pascal.

[@joeland87]

Pedro Pascal had one of the best episodes in the last five years. I’m surprised he didn’t make the cut.

[@julieta8683]

Both John Goodman and Bill Murray have to be my favorite SNL hosts 🤣💕📺

[@batgurrl]

Great list for a show In it’s 48th season. Betty White was indeed the oldest and she was hilarious. HM to George Carlin, comic Genius. who who hosted the very first episode and Robert De Niro. It would wonderful if you could so do a list with ex cast members as hosts like Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy

[@60_beats]

Betty white in “Man on the Moon” 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@amonrodriguez3518]

Paul Rudd is awesome and so funny in everything. Glad he got in big stuff so he could get on the show

[@DarttheLegend]

I didn’t realize Candace Bergen wasn’t a regular cast member LOL

[@dustinlapradd5456]

Lest we forget Melissa McCarthy actually WAS a cast member...if only for a single season.

[@louisdellalucca8969]

I still love the Oil Baron sketch

[@catl1783]

Awesome, right on point

[@22CaptainAmerica]

So excited to watch Pete Davidson hosting next Saturday

[@Gor85]

Paul Rudd,Betty White is fantastic😁,Adam Driver fantastic😁Dwayne Jonson,Scarlet😁Jon Hamm Ema Stone,Drew Barrymore great😁,Tom Hanks love it😁,John Goodman,Justin Timberlake,Christopher Walken legend😁,Alec Baldwin.

[@thebookhero5727]

Has Steve Martin ever not looked old?

[@jennifershappyplace6938]

I think he went gray at 19

[@Bman32x]

Seeing him without white hair is very jarring.

[@cynthiachristie1059]

Richard pryor was and always will be the goat

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Sounds like fun!

[@cynthiachristie1059]

thats why dwayne johnson is one of the most sucessful actors and wrestlers the greatest of all time

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

he still is

[@cynthiachristie1059]

[@marcjameswhelan]

Love your spam

[@chibiprussia5574]

I found Seth MacFarlane to be fricken hilarious as a host and wishes he could do it again

[@melaniesenf7175]

Baldwin is a better trump than trump himself. I loved that impression

[@shayes88able]

Travis Kelce, Ariana Grande and Rami Malek was my favorite hosts

[@Ottophil]

Ive seen almost every episode from every season ever. My favorite episode was Seth McFarline

[@EricThigpen]

18:36 Ummm, pretty sure this guy was a cast member on the show...

[@Lazalit]

Between Pedro Pascal and Christopher Walken, I stay with Walken. If you see his sketches for the first time, you never know what goes through his mind. It just comes out naturally.

[@tirissotheios9821]

I like Melissa McCarthy yet watchmojo broke their rules again 0:13

[@toshiro-kano]

Peyton Mannings episode was really good.

[@ericgaskins571]

Personal favorite is Christopher Walken. Always goes balls out. Non stop. Cow bell was priceless.

[@scribe56]

Pedro pascal was terrific. The hospital scene was hilarious but I think i'm absolutely in love with him In the steakhouse scene.

[@cmcisa01]

Adam Driver sketches didn't miss (no offense to Alec Baldwin) and should be in the top 10

[@callen8908]

McCarthy and Walken embody a commitment to comedy that makes me squirm *and* laugh

[@DrOcampo]

Chance the rapper is always amazing

[@williamwatson4354]

Paul Simon was one of the first Hosts and he deserves to be much higher.

[@ericgaskins571]

Believe it or not Sylvester Stallone was really good on it too. He did a great night at the Roxbury sketch and a funny frank Stallone gag as well

[@raisedonpopcornwithgrant9670]

how the hell is ryan gosling not on this list!!!

[@101shadeira]

Melissa McCarthy

[@TheCora79]

Please pass the mash….😂

[@cooking456]

Lizzo was so good!! She introduced herself as the musical guest!

[@ValentinaTepedino]

How is Pedro Pascal not on this list?

[@crystalshaw8744]

Paul Rudd is a vampire.

[@jawitten4]

STEVE MARTIN!!!! ❤❤❤

[@lyraabuck5059]

Will Ferrel was good too. But my recent fave is definitely Adam Driver.

[@jrburkh]

Will Ferrell was a cast member, which disqualifies him from the list...

[@Jenniferlwarm]

If you're going to talk about Justin why would you not include his iconic contribution to the Lonely island songs???

[@pauldegregorio6432]

Adam driver!

[@sabrinanix7671]

Pedro is the perfect host! The end

[@baylinkdashyt]

0:40 - Um... that SNL is shot in Studio *8*H is probably the most widely known piece of television inside-baseball in the world, folks...

[@masmith8308]

Pedro Pascal's episode was one of the funniest I've ever seen.

[@deeplyblue7299]

18:50 Chris really hated Victoria . She drains the life out of people

[@FDR_progressive_liberal]

Walken and SNL missed a golden opportunity to demand more "ooga chooga" in "Hooked on a Feelin" by Blue Swede. "You are doin fine, but, I need more OOGA CHOOGA!

[@strells]

Studio 6H? You have the wrong floor at 30 Rock. It’s studio 8H!

[@stingrey1571]

Ray Romano killed it when he was on.

[@rufinocoronator4228]

I figured he wouldn’t be on this list but chance the rapper is one of my absolute favorites

[@MissT0J0M0]

‘Let’s go do that hockey’ had me in stitches.

[@marissamay8527]

[@Dizz1991]

My favorite is Timothee’ Chalamet especially the second time around as host

No Pedro Pascal? No Oscar Issac? For shame, WatchMojo!

[@amonrodriguez3518]

Betty white was so good that I thought she hosted at least more than 2 times

[@bluebear1985]

You would think so. They asked her to host on at least a couple more occasions before she actually did, but she turned them down.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

@@bluebear1985 SNLs 2 biggest mistakes only have Betty White host one time, and only one host by Norm MacDonald. Now adays my has it fallen. Bad Bunny next week? Wtf has become of my beloved
