‘Saturday Night Live’ Host Jake Gyllenhaal Gives His Demands for Season Finale in New Promo

Jake Gyllenhaal is signing yearbooks and trying to make Mother’s Day even longer!
The 43-year-old actor is hosting this weekend’s season 49 finale of Saturday Night Live with musical guest Sabrina Carpenter, and he seems to have his dates wrong in the latest promo with cast member Marcello Hernandez.
The Roadhouse star insists that this week is the Mother’s Day episode, even though the holiday was last weekend. Hernandez explains that they flew in all the moms to New York City on May 12, to which Gyllenhaal demands, “Well, fly them back! I want them all here in wardrobe and off book, dammit! Now! Go!”
In another one of the promos ahead of this week’s Saturday Night Live, Gyllenhaal agrees to sign Hernandez’s season finale yearbook. The actor spends an agonizing amount of time scribbling in the yearbook, turning it every which way and getting emotional with Hernandez looking on, who is periodically checking his watch.
After Gyllenhaal finally finishes and gives the yearbook a kiss, he hands the book back to Hernandez.
“Enjoy, papi,” he says with a wink and click of his teeth.
“Papi?” Hernandez replies, confused.
He then checks the yearbook and finds a surprise: “B KEWL! -Jack”
When the unexpected pairing of Gyllenhaal and Carpenter was first announced, Taylor Swift fans reacted. Carpenter is friends with Swift, having previously opened for her during the Latin America, Asia, and Australian legs of her Eras Tour. Fans were shocked to see a collaboration between Carpenter and Swift’s ex.
Swift briefly dated Gyllenhaal in 2010, sparking speculation that the majority of her 2012 album, Red, was inspired by their relationship, a theory that has persisted for years.
The Saturday Night Live season 49 finale airs Saturday, May 18, at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams live on Peacock.
