Martin Short appeared as a waiter in the “5-Timers Club” sketch alongside Justin Timberlake when the latter hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time in 2013. Interestingly, Martin has also achieved the same milestone as he was officially announced as a member of the SNL 5-Timers club. The last SNL episode was a highly anticipated one because it was not only the final episode of the year but also served as Martin Short's official induction into the SNL 5-Timers Club. After 38 years since he first hosted this event, he was finally inducted, and this places him in the league of other SNL hosts like Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, and Justin Timberlake, who were all present to celebrate Martin Short's induction. Singer Hozier was also present to entertain guests; it was a fantastic way to end the year. What happened at the SNL 5-Timers Club induction? Martin Short and Tom Hanks/Youtube An SNL 5-Timers Induction is always one to look forward to, and this particular event did not disappoint. The evening’s celebration began with Tom Hanks introducing Martin Short to the exclusive SNL 5-Timers Club. Joined by fellow club members like Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Tina Fey, and John Mulaney, the group celebrated Short’s achievement with their traditional sketch. Each member shared funny “confessions” from their time hosting the show multiple times. Tina Fey kicked things off with a joke: “In this club, you can be completely honest,” which led to several funny confessions by the comedians present. The sketch came to an end with Jimmy Fallon appearing to present Short with his official 5-Timers Club jacket, teasing, “I’d like to present to you the official 5-Timers Club jacket, in exactly your size, a women’s small.” Short struggled to put the jacket on, much to the amusement of the crowd, before joining the group for the ceremonial “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” shout.
