Before the actress joins the Five-Timers Club on Dec. 2, revisit some of her all-time best "Saturday Night Live" sketches — featuring candles, casts, and Andrew Garfield.
Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers Club is ready to induct a new member.
Emma Stone will host the long-running NBC comedy show for the fifth time Dec. 2, marking her official induction into the exclusive hosting club. The Oscar-winning actress has a long history with SNL, first hosting as a 21-year-old in October 2010 and making multiple cameos throughout the years. Not only has she appeared in some of the show’s most memorable pre-taped sketches, but she also has a personal connection to SNL: While hosting in 2016, she met her future husband Dave McCary after he directed her in a sketch, and the pair eventually married in 2020.
To celebrate Stone joining the Five-Timers Club, here are five of her most memorable SNL sketches.
"Wells for Boys"
In 2016, Stone starred in this instant-classic commercial parody, an ad for Fisher-Price’s new collection of toys for "Sensitive Little Boys." Every line is perfect, but Stone shines as the boy's fiercely protective mother, who understands that some kids "just long to be understood." Even better, "Wells for Boys" also sparked real-life romance: McCary directed Stone in the short, and the pair later married.
"The Actress"
Stone brings a dramatic gravitas to this ridiculous 2019 sketch, playing an actress who takes her craft seriously. Her breakout role? "The Woman Who Gets Cheated On in the Gay Porn." Stone goes full Method actor, desperate to unlock her unnamed character’s complicated backstory, and the resulting sketch makes perfect use of both her comedic and dramatic skills.
"The Christmas Candle"
SNL loves a holiday sketch, and this 2016 music video is another classic, featuring Stone, Kate McKinnon, and Aidy Bryant in enormous fur coats. Together, they sing a dreamy ode to the ideal Christmas gift: a lame peach candle, the kind you can gift and regift to people you don’t really know. It helps that the song itself is a bop, the kind that should get regular rotation on your local Christmas radio station.
"I Broke My Arm"
A 21-year-old Stone hosted her very first episode back in 2010, when she headlined this catchy Digital Short about a high school student who — you guessed it — breaks her arm and needs everyone to know about it. (Andy Samberg costars as the sticky grape jelly on the cafeteria floor.) The sketch’s inane lyrics and poppy melody feel like foreshadowing for Stone’s later appearance in the Lonely Island’s Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, singing "Turn Up the Beef" as pop star Claudia Cantrell.
"Spider-Man Kiss"
Stone didn’t technically host this 2014 episode, but she stopped by for a memorable cameo with her Amazing Spider-Man costar (and then-boyfriend) Andrew Garfield. The real-life lovebirds joined forces for this supremely silly Spider-Man sketch, following the actors as they try (and repeatedly fail) to execute a romantic kiss between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. It’s a profoundly stupid concept elevated by Stone and Garfield’s off-screen chemistry — and their willingness to be as disgusting as possible. The kicker? A final cameo by Coldplay frontman and musical guest Chris Martin, who shows them how to properly make out on screen.
