Jack White and Jack Black Reimagine “Seven Nation Army” on SNL Performance
On April 4, Jack White and Jack Black took center stage as the musical guest and host on Saturday Night Live (SNL). This episode marked their sixth performance and fifth hosting of the iconic show, following a brief hiatus. Their collaboration was highlighted by a powerful choir-backed rendition of White Stripes’ classic song, “Seven Nation Army.”
Celebrating the Five-Timers Club
During Black’s opening monologue, he was joined by fellow five-timers: Jonah Hill, Tina Fey, Candice Bergen, and Melissa McCarthy. Together, they aimed to rejuvenate the cobweb-covered Five-Timers Lounge. The situation escalated when Jack White made a dynamic entrance, humorously knocking over Domingo, played by Marcello Hernandez, with a frying pan. To revive the lounge, Black suggested performing “the world’s most rockin’ song,” declaring, “Seven Nation Army” the perfect choice.
Additional Performances by Jack Black
In addition to the collaborative performance of “Seven Nation Army,” Jack Black showcased his versatility throughout the episode. He contributed a verse to the country ballad “Words to Live By,” portrayed a harmonizing husband, and even conducted a unique self-defense course.

Jack White also seized the opportunity to debut two new songs, “Derecho Dominico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs.” These tracks are significant as they mark his first new music since 2024, following the release of his latest album, No Name.
