Only a select few entertainers have made it to "Saturday Night Live's" five-timers club for hosting. Consensus on Wikipedia shows 26 members in the club, while another site includes Sting, making it 27.

Redditor u/capt_argyle charted the timeline of the various five-timers in "SNL" history, and omitted three names from their list: Sting, Paul Simon and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

While some may consider Sting and Simon to be musical guests (and Simon only has four hosting appearances), Johnson has hosted five times, first in 2000 and a fifth appearance that came in 2017.

Among five-time hosts, Woody Harrelson is the only one who took three decades (33 years) to reach the mark, while all-round talents Buck Henry and Steve Martin, both, completed the feat within two years.

Former cast member Kristen Wiig was the most recent inductee into the club after she hosted for a fifth time in April 2024.

Notable actors that could join the club include Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz and Martin Short. If Charles Barkley is going to be looking for a new gig soon, then the least "SNL" producers can do is get him in too.
