Kristen Wiig is now officially a member of Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers Club, and she’s in some pretty exclusive company. Well, maybe not that exclusive.

The former SNL cast member kicked off her fifth stint as host on Saturday with a monologue where she celebrated her milestone achievement. But she was soon reminded that more than a few other celebrities have hosted five times as well, with Paul Rudd popping up in the audience wearing his Five-Timers jacket and hoping there’d be a sketch with a bunch of celeb cameos that he could join in on. Wiig told him they weren’t doing one of those, though, and he had to sit back down, disappointed.

An audience member played by Girls5eva‘s Paula Pell pointed out that SNL has been handing out Five-Timers jackets “like free maxi pads” lately, and to prove her point, Matt Damon stood up wearing one… even though he’s only hosted three times. (His first one was so good, it counted for three!) An annoyed Wiig turned to SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels for an explanation, but Lorne was flanked by more celebs in jackets — Jon Hamm, Martin Short, Will Forte and Fred Armisen — even though none of them have hit the five-episode hosting mark yet, either.

By now, Wiig was feeling not very special at all, even after Damon tried to give her his jacket — and got handed another one, while he was at it. Soon, the guys all joined Wiig on stage to serenade her, but she got distracted when she noticed Lorne Michaels giving Ryan Gosling his own Five-Timers jacket. And he’s only hosted twice! But Gosling rushed over to give Wiig her jacket, and even lint-rolled it for her, so all’s well that ends well.

Watch the full sketch above, and grade the SNL hosted by Kristen Wiig and featuring musical guest Raye in our poll.
