Jack Black Sparks Controversy with SNL Appearance: Fans Divided

Jack Black seems to be stirring drama yet again coming under fire for his Saturday Night Live appearance. Already posted is a behind-the-scenes photo of one of the infamous comic actors known for his antics and for “making himself at home” at SNL, with many uppity about it.

The official tweet went viral almost instantaneously. It’s all positive likes and retweets in the comment section Oh boy! love-hate relationship. Some fans sound excited, while others are just giving him the cold roast. One such comment was by @pinksnowkitten5 who said, “Jack Black and Elton John….who would have ever thought they would pair up but I’m so here for it! ❤️”. Then there was @Tom__Harry who responded to that: “Of course he feels at home there. Neither are funny” Ouch.

To make matters worse, @mookiewilson86 dragged Black’s entire career, stating, “He had his moment. Now he’s yuck and not funny.” Harsh? Maybe. But then again, comedy’s subjective, right? At least for some people, @BlackAt18592388 had given him some credit, writing, “Haven’t seen anything from him funny since Nacho Libre.”

And as it always happens, conspiracy theorists stay unmoved. @KJames9999 accused SNL of “artificially propping him up for some reason.” @njwfairhurst would suggest it was all a front to distract from Jack “publicly knifing his best friend, Kyle Gass, in the back.” Wow.

Some few, however, were positive. @ideas_reflectin wished for drama: “I hope he does something with Please Don’t Destroy… Super missed opportunity if they don’t.” @joseramonmarmtz was simply excited to see Ashley Padilla get any screen time and shouted, “Thank you for adding her on this week’s promo! She killed it last Saturday!”

Only time will tell if his appearance will make a grand comeback or a total failure on SNL. One thing for sure is that people are talking.
