<P> The Five - Timers Club is the group of performers who have hosted SNL at least five times . The club was first mentioned on the show on December 8, 1990 by Tom Hanks who, in his monologue, touched upon the fact that it was his fifth appearance as host: </P> <P> Believe it or not, this is the fifth Saturday Night Live I have been lucky enough to host . Now, the first time you do the show, you can't believe you're here . You just can't believe it . Your head buzzes with excitement . The second time you do the show, it means you were funny enough to be asked back - and you're pushing a movie . The third time you do the show, the second time didn't go so well, and you have something to prove to yourself . The fourth time you do the show, you're just blatantly pushing a movie . But the fifth time you do the show is the most special time of all, because you get this (holds up a card)... a membership card in the Five - Timers Club . Come with me...(walks off the stage) I'm gonna give you a chance to look in on one of the most exclusive clubs in the world . </P> <P> After Hanks gave his monologue, the show segued to a sketch featuring Hanks, Steve Martin, Elliott Gould, and Paul Simon in the richly appointed club . Martin and Gould were both five - time hosts; Simon had only hosted four episodes, but was accepted as a member due to his numerous appearances as a musical guest . The Five - Timers Club was mentioned to have a swimming pool with perfect 80 degree waters . The food that is served there is named after SNL performers . Then - Saturday Night Live writer Conan O'Brien portrayed Sean, the doorman of the club . Jon Lovitz appears as a club waiter . Ralph Nader appears as a former SNL host trying to get into the Five - Timers Club only for Lovitz to tell him and his group to leave . </P> <P> The second time the Five - Timers Club was mentioned was when Danny DeVito was inducted in 1993 . The Club was mentioned again after the mark was reached by hosts Alec Baldwin (1994), John Goodman (1994), Christopher Walken (2001), Drew Barrymore (2007), Justin Timberlake (2013), Ben Affleck (2013), Scarlett Johansson (2017), Melissa McCarthy (2017), and Dwayne Johnson (2017); Steve Martin appeared at the end of McCarthy's fifth episode to present her with a jacket, while Alec Baldwin did the same for Dwayne Johnson in the monologue of the season finale . McCarthy had previously mentioned the club on her fourth appearance, when she claimed to be eligible because she had also been in the 40th anniversary special . </P>
