Nostalgic Clip and SNL Memories
During their conversation, Fallon showcased an old commercial featuring a young Black in a video game advertisement, eliciting laughter from both Black and the audience. The discussion then shifted to Black’s previous experiences hosting “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) in 2002, 2003, and 2005.

“Cray Cray” SNL Return
Describing his feelings about hosting SNL again, Black told Variety it feels “cray cray,” admitting to feeling the pressure of the live show. He further elaborated, “Just so you know, having lots of nightmares and night terrors and also fond memories flooding back. It’s crazy, very exciting,” highlighting the mixed emotions surrounding his return to the sketch comedy show.
SNL Cast and Collaboration
Referencing the current SNL cast and writers, Black joked about their potential state after the previous night’s show, suggesting they might be “in a dead coma.” He expressed admiration for the current cast, particularly the younger members, stating, “I call them kids because I was on that show before some of them were born — except for Kenan [Thompson], we’re around the same age. That’s about it,” showcasing his playful personality.
Upcoming “Minecraft Movie” Role
Looking ahead, Black is preparing for the release of “A Minecraft Movie” where he will star as Steve, an expert crafter. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Hansen.
Minecraft Gaming Experience
Prior to securing the role, Black was already acquainted with the Minecraft video game. “I did do some Minecraft gaming, yes! I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but yeah, I know my way around a Minecraft universe,” he shared with Variety, indicating his familiarity with the film’s source material.
Original Song for Minecraft Film
Adding another dimension to his involvement, Black performs an original song titled “I Feel Alive” for “A Minecraft Movie,” directed by Jared Hess.
Excitement for Original Track
Black expressed enthusiasm for the track, which features Dave Grohl on drums. He recounted the collaborative process, stating, “Cale [Boyter], our producer, was like, ‘We need a big song at the end, something that wraps up the whole movie.’ And I was like, ‘I can’t write a song that wraps up the whole movie.’”
Collaboration on “I Feel Alive”
He further explained how the song came to fruition: “I said, ‘Maybe if you could get those guys that wrote “I’m Just Ken,” they could do it.’ And he said, ‘Done!’ and made it happen.” Black was thrilled with the collaboration, describing the creative process as “heaven.”
