That was when I realized something I should have realized a long time ago, acting is a really stupid job." "The last time I hosted was the year 2007. To kick off his most recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, Spider-Man: Far From Home actor Jake Gyllenhaal opened his monologue on the series by roasting the last time he was the host of the comedy sketch series.

The actor returned to 'SNL' more than 15 years after his hosting debut. During his monologue, he made a call back to his last appearance with some singing.

It’s made to go see in the theaters. “It’s made for the theaters. More than 15 years after making his Saturday Night Live debut, the 41-year-old actor returned to studio 8H to serve as this week’s guest host.

'Saturday Night Live' recap: Jake Gyllenhaal hosts 'SNL' season 47, episode 17, with musical guest Camila Cabello.

And "Bam Bam" is the second single, a tropical-inspired bop with a salsa-infused chorus and reggaeton flavor. Texts are exchanged, and Punkie asks Jake to read them aloud, giving him the opportunity to say "Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl" in a voice. "I have a normal body temperature of 108," he assures the concerned cowboys. When a weed ( Kyle Mooney) appears, he wants to choke the flowers. And Melissa Villaseñor in a decent-sized role! Gyllenhaal, Redd, Strong, and Sarah Sherman play flowers greeted by a horny bee (Yang). While the older flowers aren't thrilled that he's rubbing up against all of them, the youngest bulb (Redd) is excited when it's his turn. "You did the double tap," chides the host (Thompson). An embarrassed Gyllenhaal liked a photo of a bikini picture, despite having a girlfriend. It's the little things in life: zero unopened emails, not losing a Chapstick, meeting cast members from the original Real World. "I grew out of a peanut allergy," shares McKinnon. Yang hated Hamilton before it was cool. Gage and Rick (Mikey Day and Gyllenhaal) are designing a lakefront oasis for the milquetoast Pat (James Austin Johnson) and Lillian ( Heidi Gardner). The catch? "Acting is a really stupid job," Gyllenhaal continues. And with the ease of someone who has been on the show for many years. This is a straightforward, sort of banal yet well-intentioned tribute to Jackson's historic confirmation.

With a new episode tonight, here's a look at host Jake Gyllenhaal's past Saturday Night Live work as well as two Camila Cabello music videos.

So I'm going to do everything I can to see it carry on and carry on well," he continued. I'd like to see that through, and I have a feeling that'd be a really good time to leave," Michaels explained. During a tour behind-the-scenes of SNL's show night with CBS Mornings host Gayle King for his Kennedy Center honor before the end of the year, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels revealed that he had been thinking of retiring and thought it was a "really good time to leave."

'Spider-Man: Far From Home' was the movie Jake Gyllenhaal needed to stop taking himself so seriously and find the fun in acting again.

It’s all about the experience that you have with the people you’re making that film with. It’s refreshing, and it takes a load of weight off your shoulders to once again find the joy in what you love. I think I had really lost that sense of play and fun that I am.

The 41-year-old Ambulance actor returned to host the NBC sketch comedy series on Saturday (April 9). In his opening monologue, Jake reflected on the first time ...

Well, I’m finally embracing that joy again, and that’s why I’m back standing on this stage.” “That was like 400 Marvel movies ago,” Jake joked. “It’s pretend and it’s fun, and it should be filled with joy.

During his April 9 'SNL' monologue, Jake Gyllenhaal sang Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now."

Fortunately, Gyllenhaal does reportedly have a musical project in the works — so the dream may not be that far off. It’s pretend, and it’s fun, and it should be filled with joy.” To that end, Gyllenhaal wrapped up his SNL monologue with an emotional performance of Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” and it was beautiful. This time around, though, Gyllenhaal ditched the costumes and sang from the heart with help from Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim, and Cecily Strong. He even tweaked some of the ballad’s haunting lyrics for the occasion: “There were sketches I would never do again / But then, they’d always seemed right.”

Jake Gyllenhaal made his triumphant return to Saturday Night Live as a host, after a 15-year hiatus, and immediately put his musical chops to task.

Megan, you have a background in PR. Peggy, you were in the military. And Chucky, you did an ancient voodoo curse that when combined with a lightning strike transferred your soul to the body of a doll. The couple then come to the realization that their relationship isn't so bad after all. And unfortunately, the amount of machinery it takes to keep a 27-year-old cat with no kidneys alive really cluttered up the space,' Gyllenhaal replied. We show you a picture that you liked on Instagram, and ask you the simple question, "Why'd you like it?" I'd like to see you try, come through b***h, it's on sight,' she says into the phone, as the couple watch stunned. This song goes out to the folks in the middle, celebrating the little things.' 'Welcome to the flower bed, friend. So the question is, "Why'd you like it?" So the question is, "Why'd you like it?" Self deprecating: The actor touched on his reputation for being a method actor. 'And this is a photo of me from my monologue.

This week, Jake Gyllenhaal returned to the Saturday Night Live stage for the first time in 15 years, or “400 Marvel movies ago,” as he said in the monologue ...

Playing the tubercular Doc Holliday, a sallow, sweaty Gyllenhaal farts, coughs blood into a handkerchief and sneezes gallons of stage blood and snot onto Alex Moffatt and Andrew Dismukes. Body-fluid humor works approximately 1% of the time (see Dan Akyroyd’s Julia Child bleeding out on set and Cecily Strong puking wine all over “Weekend Update”). This wasn’t one of them. The film appreciation show Lights Camera Achoo celebrates “sick performances in film,” a dubious premise that plays out dubiously. So “you’ll always have something to remember me by,” he tells a nearby hooker. That co-worker: Chucky, the murderous doll from the “Child’s Play” horror series (Sarah Sherman). This workplace contretemps has an additional layer: Chucky’s offended because he overheard the trio in the restroom comparing him to Janet (Aidy Bryant), a co-worker everybody hates. You can see exactly where this is going, and what you envision is basically what you get—a cascade of childish sex and fetish jokes. In “Spring Flowers,” Gyllenhaal, Sarah Sherman, Cecily Strong, and Chris Redd play flora in a garden who sing praises to spring before a series of increasingly undignified events unfurl. In sending up the often highly manufactured conflicts that surface on these shows as a matter of course, the writing went to pleasingly weird and occasionally laugh-out-loud places. It’s a solid concept executed well: Janet being everyone’s problem is a fun twist, Fineman’s character attributes Chucky’s eavesdropping to the new gender-neutral bathroom policy, and Gyllenhaal is particularly good as the unctuous HR lackey, telling Chucky that he belongs at the company because “each of us has a different story,” even as the doll repeatedly stabs his leg. “I squeeze a load of goop out of my butt and people eat it. “Dream Home Cousins” was a solid takeoff on that cockroach of cable and streaming, the HGTV build-my-house show. This week, Jake Gyllenhaal returned to the Saturday Night Live stage for the first time in 15 years, or “400 Marvel movies ago,” as he said in the monologue. Is it possible he thought SNL was beneath him for a while?)

To Brent Ferdic.. 26 seconds ago. Jake Gyllenhaal went on stage for “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, smashing his candid enthusiasm and musical ...

After pulling out the mic, Gyllenhaal jumped out into the production of Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” with Chloe Fineman, Ego Nowadim, and Cecily Strong wearing fringed red dresses on stage. .. “Well, I’m finally re-accepting that joy, and that’s why I’m back on stage!” “But to be honest, I wasn’t very good at method acting,” he added. “ “He added. It was, “Gyllenhaal jokingly said.

In another universe, Jake Gyllenhaal could have been an all-time best cast member. A recap of all the sketches from Saturday Night Live's April 9, ...

But in “Dinner with the Dean” and “ Spring Flowers” he displayed how much he commits. (Jake: “Girrrr …” Punkie: “No! Don’t do that voice.”) Ego enters with a Super Soaker (which confuses the audience), but Punkie asks Jake to read conciliatory texts. (Jake: “Girrrl, why we count fish when our love the whole damn ocean?” Melissa: “Oh, Ted, is that really how you feel?”) This sketch is a lot of fun, and Punkie once again shows she can be one of the show’s biggest stars with more opportunities. YEAH HO, WHERE YOU AT?”) Punkie realizes this is the perfect opportunity to practice expressing their emotions and asks Jake to read her texts to her partner and say how he’d respond. The size of the cast just continues to plague the show. I wish SNL had played that more, but instead, the entire sketch was aimless, and they didn’t give Ketanji a point of view other than “happy to be there.” I’m as happy as anybody that she was confirmed, but this was SNL’s weakest cold open of the season. So it was a nice surprise to see Punkie star in the very funny “Couples Counselor” sketch, where Jake and Melissa’s session with Punkie gets interrupted by her unhinged phone calls. The 20th?” Ego: “Nope, just the third.” Keenan: “No further questions, Your Honor.”) We hit a little gold when Punkie comes on as Harriet Tubman. (“What are we doing in the White House? Did we get in trouble?”) Harriet then lets Ketanji know that if she needs help escaping, light two candles. For those who don’t remember, in that monologue, Jake says he told SNL no Brokeback Mountain jokes, only to immediately see Will and Jason dressed as cowboys in the front row. (“Are you thinking about it?”) Everybody is really good here. (Kate: “I bet the book was called Goodnight Cancun.”) SNL opens with James Austin Johnson’s Biden congratulating Ego’s Ketanji Brown Jackson on getting confirmed to the Supreme Court. (Ego: “I bet you can’t say that three times fast.” James: “I’m shocked I could say it one time slow.”) Biden is soon rushed off to a reception, and he tells Ketanji to take her time in the Oval Office. Kate immediately visits her as the Ghost of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Big ol’ YIKES to that one.

SNL host Jake Gyllenhaal kicked off his return to the late night show with a musical performance that called back to his first hosting gig in 2007.

He did a stint as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, and he was also Georges Seurat in Sunday In The Park With George. He has a beautiful singing voice. It's a career of make-believe and method acting is, for the most part, filled with people who consistently make working on set impossible for seemingly no reason. Gyllenhaal brought up his movie Nightcrawler where he lost weight, played a man who becomes a camera-man, and listens to a police scanner to get the perfect shot throughout the movie.

In his opening monologue, Jake Gyllenhaal performed a moving cover of one of Céline Dion's biggest hits as he celebrated his first time hosting Saturday ...

"The truth is, I was only doing that method stuff because I thought that's what you had to do to be a serious actor, and I kind of forgot how to have fun," he explained. "That's when I realized something I should have realized a long time ago: acting is a really stupid job. I wasn't sure I'd remember how to host.
