During the Season 49 finale of Saturday Night Live, the guest host Jack Gyllenhaal did not shy away from displaying his vocal prowess. His monologue turned out to be hilarious with features from SNL cast members Kenan Thompson, Ego Nwodim, Punkie Johnson, and Devon Walker. Their hilarious ad-libs to Gyllenhaal's SNL rendition of Boyz II Men's classic made it even more interesting.

Jack Gyllenhaal reacts to being the last choice for SNL's season 49 finale host in his monologue

He sang Boyz II Men’s End of the Road to the audience, amusingly changing some words so they could understand that the Brokeback Mountain star was not the first choice for hosting the last show of season 49.

While performing, Gyllenhaal sang, "They asked Pedro Pascal, but he wasn’t around. Zendaya said no because she’d be out of town. Even asked Gosling to come back again, just hosted three shows ago.”

In this musical monologue, Kenan Thompson, Ego Nwodim, Punkie Johnson, and Devon Walker also made cameo appearances dressed in typical R&B group sweaters and baseball caps that read 49.

"It's definitely one of the top 48 seasons...season 49," Kenan Thompson jokingly sings being on-brand. Watch here: 


The Southpaw star also joked about how much he wanted to host the fiftieth instead of the forty-ninth season finale. He recalled an incident where in a recent movie set, MMA fighter Conor McGregor accidentally punched him at one point. His latest movie is titled Road House.
