\n\tScarlett Johansson kicked off the season 50 finale of Saturday Night Live<\/em> with a musical monologue set to the tune of Billy Joel<\/a>\u2018s \u201cPiano Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Jurassic World Rebirth<\/em> star, who hosted the May 17 episode alongside musical guest Bad Bunny<\/a>, opened the iconic sketch comedy show with a heartfelt cast singalong celebrating the show\u2019s five-decade legacy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s 11:30 on a Saturday, finale of season 50,\u201d Johansson sang. \u201cIt\u2019s chaotic and crazy, the whole week is hazy, but there\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 40-year-old actress was soon joined by cast members Bowen Yang, Sarah Sherman, Heidi Gardner, Mikey Day, Ego Nwodim and Chloe Fineman, who harmonized with her. \u201cSing us a song, it\u2019s your monologue, sing us a song tonight, as we made 50 years of great memories, every Saturday Night,\u201d they all sang.<\/p>\n

\n\tJohansson then teased a surprise appearance by the Piano Man himself, saying, \u201cLadies and gentleman, Billy Joel\u2026 wrote this song.\u201d Day, visibly disappointed, responded, \u201cI thought Billy Joel was going to come out,\u201d Johansson, a seventh-time SNL<\/em> host, said, \u201cOh, Mikey. So cute, so simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe monologue took a comedic turn as Fineman expressed her love for musical monologues, while Gardner noted her preference for audience questions. Kenan Thompson, pretending to be a fan in the audience, asked the Jurassic<\/em> film actress to introduce him to a dinosaur, prompting Johansson to jokingly regret calling on him.<\/p>\n

\n\tNew season 50 cast members Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim and Jane Wickline made cameo appearances, singing about their gratitude for joining the iconic show \u2014 only for Johansson to hilariously forget their names. She also gave shoutouts to cast members Marcello Hernandez and Devon Walker, calling them her friends, and acknowledging Andrew Dismukes and James Austin Johnson.<\/p>\n

\n\tToward the end of the number, Johansson dropped a surprise bombshell, singing that season 50 would be Sherman\u2019s last. \u201cWe\u2019re all gonna miss you next year,\u201d the cast sang in unison. A stunned Sherman replied, \u201cWait, what? Did you guys hear something or\u2026?\u201d The joke about the comedian\u2019s departure was not mentioned again during the episode.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the show, Bad Bunny delivered performances of \u201cNUEVAYoL\u201d and \u201cPERFuMITO NUEVO,\u201d both from his sixth album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>. Watch the performances here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
