On April 13, 2025, Jon Hamm hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time. Despite hosting, Hamm himself had little screen time throughout the episode and was noticeably muted, appearing in a couple of musical faux interludes. It opened with a searing political parody, with James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump, lampooning his own economic malfeasance and likening himself to Jesus.
While Hamm's most notable role on social media was playing the parody Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 'White POTUS,' a comedic twist on HBO's popular The White Lotus. With a star-filled cast including Chloe Fineman as Melania Trump and Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka Trump, the segment of the comedy imagined political figures getting together at an exclusive hotel. Some viewers were taken aback by Hamm's modest involvement, given the ensemble's relatively small role.
The political satire and unexpected cameos were among the episode's highlights, but some thought that Hamm's abilities were underutilized. Although there was a noticeable chemistry between him and the actors, the host's absence of significant roles created a feeling of lost potential. It's still difficult to strike a balance between host spotlight and ensemble routines as SNL continues to mix pop culture parodies with political satire.
Jon Hamm hosted the latest episode of Saturday Night Live
On April 13, 2025, Jon Hamm made his eagerly awaited comeback to Saturday Night Live, taking over as host for the fourth time. Hamm, who is renowned for his ability to effortlessly blend dapper elegance with a humorous edge, excited both the cast and fans with his comeback. Viewers, however, had differing opinions on what transpired on screen.
Hamm made a fairly small appearance as the host of the show. His most well-known performance was as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the White Lotus spoof comedy "White POTUS." Even though the part was very humorous and included a number of celebrities, Saturday Night Live's Hamm wasn't given much to work with. He made brief appearances in other parts of the show, leaving his supporters hankering after more screen time.
During the monologue, he had an equally subdued stage presence. Hamm's hosting appearance felt more like a guest appearance because there was no memorable solo performance or intricate opening sketch. Although he and the actors remained close, critics pointed out that the show didn't fully utilize his comedic range.
Hamm last hosted Saturday Night Live in 2010, and he has been in a number of iconic skits, such as the well-known "Don Draper's Guide to Picking Up Women." For the Emmy-winning actor, this episode felt like a lost chance in comparison to his previous appearances.
