Jack White and Jack Black Reunite for “Seven Nation Army” on SNL

During the May 18 episode of Saturday Night Live, host Jack Black and musical guest Jack White shared the stage for a collaborative performance. The moment came during Black’s opening monologue, which celebrated his induction into the show’s “Five-Timers Club.”

The pair delivered a reworked version of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army,” with Black providing theatrical vocals and White on guitar. The performance was a one-off event for the broadcast, blending White’s signature riff with Black’s comedic energy. It served as a marker for both artists’ history with the long-running NBC program.

Such crossover moments on SNL are typically confined to the live show. The segment underscores how the platform can still facilitate unexpected, if brief, musical collaborations outside of standard promotional cycles.
