Saturday Night Live announced during this week's show that Mulaney is scheduled to return to host on Feb. 26 with musical guest LCD Soundsystem. It will mark Mulaney's return to SNL after his rehab stint. It will also mark his fifth time hosting, thus becoming the 22nd person to join The Five-Timers Club. Mulaney made his hosting debut in April 2018, he returned in 2019 and hosted two episodes in 2020. Mulaney won't, however, be the fastest person to join The Five-Timers Club. Buck Henry made his SNL hosting debut in January 1976 and joined the yet-to-be-established club in November 1977. Steve Martin joined the club a year and half after his October 1976 hosting debut. Additionally, Alec Baldwin, John Goodman, Elliott Gould and Tom Hanks all joined The Five-Timers Club in under five years.

John Mulaney learns SNL has changed since he last hosted 16 months ago

Watch Mulaney's promo for this week's Saturday Night Live, in which he joins the Five Timers Club.

John Mulaney sure was ageist in his SNL monologue the last time he hosted

In his last appearance in October 2020, "Mulaney joked about silencing his grandmother because of her age," recalls David Gittens. "He said older people should not be listened to because they’re “about to leave the restaurant.” He then told us how close he was to his grandmother — only to then dismiss her wish for a new driver’s license photograph. And that was funny because it’s laughable for older people to experience vanity, desires and emotions — you know, like real people. If Mulaney had told someone to shut up just because she was a woman, or because she was Jewish or Black, we would know he’s a bigot and no one would have laughed. But he only dismissed her because she was old. And in the current climate for comedy, that’s OK and everyone laughed." He adds: "So, to John Mulaney, Lorne Michaels and everyone associated with SNL: Yes, we get these are jokes. Yes, we get your intentions are not serious. But the consequences are. Ageism is a systematic prejudice exerted on a diverse group of people based on the sole shared characteristic of age. Ageism is the empowered abusing the disempowered. It’s bullying."
