welcome Kristen Wiig into the “Five-Timers Club.” But much to Wiig’s chagrin, most of them haven’t matched her feat of actually hosting “SNL” five times.... 

The former “Saturday Night Live” cast member made her fifth appearance as host... 

Soon more stars came out: Matt Damon, Jon Hamm, Martin Short, Will Forte, Fred Armisen, and Ryan Gosling. None of whom haven actually hosted five times yet.

Damon, who has only hosted twice, noted, “Lorne [Michaels] said the first time I hosted was so good, it accounted for three — and then second time not quite as good that only counted for two,” Damon said. “But by my math, that’s five. Maybe.”

Said Hamm, who has hosted three times — “the last time was in 2010 but I’m sure the fourth one is coming up, right Lorne?”

The guests weren’t just there for cameos in the open; Hamm appeared in a sketch parodying 1960s office culture — not playing Don Draper, but definitely revisiting the old “Mad Men” vibe.....

Jon Hamm Thinks Dressing Nice on Planes Is a Lost Art

In this installment, actor Jon Hamm tells Lisa Futterman about his love of airports, fear of being late, and why he’s a pro at packing light. 

In 2024, he’ll be flying frequently to the East Coast from his home in LA to star in his new Apple TV show, Your Friends and Neighbors. Here, he takes a few minutes out of his busy schedule to share his travel tips.

I'm on planes a lot. I've always loved planes—they make me feel like James Bond. I love an airport, and I especially love an international airport. I also love going to a new airport that I've never been to; it just signifies wonder and opportunity for me. The travel experience is pretty fun if you just take the good with the bad. I'm not a fan of waiting in line, that part of it stinks. But I love getting there.

Our honeymoon last summer was delightful. We went to Italy and Spain—Lake Como, Mallorca, and we finished up in London for Wimbledon. A beautiful trip. Once in a lifetime.

I was in Calgary, Alberta shooting Fargo from October to March in 2023. Boy was it cold. But it was a very nice place to be.

I don't wear sweatpants and flip-flops on a plane. I’m from the generation where we were taught to dress up for an airplane. I think that's kind of a lost art. I very much like dressing for the thing. I mean, I don't wear a suit. But I like looking nice for the occasion.

Window, middle, or aisle seat?

No one in the whole world would choose a middle seat. I am definitely a window person—I like to look out, and I don’t like to be stepped over. I’m not one to get up and wander around.

Pack light or overpack?

I pack light. I travel light. I try to keep it to a couple of T-shirts, a pair of jeans, one pair of shoes. My wife [Anna Osceola] likes to overpack.

Favorite way to pass time on a plane

I like screen time. I read a lot, so I’ll do that, too. But I also like to catch a movie or two, catch up on the new stuff.

Biggest travel fear?

I hate being late. I missed a couple flights recently and it was terrible. It is very important to me to be on time.

Best tip for fighting jet lag?

Jet lag is real, you just gotta gun through. I don’t have any tips. But jet lag happens because we get to where we are going very quickly now. So if you want to spend a month on a boat to Europe, you won’t get jet lag.

Favorite travel snack?

I’ll have a Sour Patch Kid every now and again, but mostly I’m a salty savory guy. I love a pretzel, a peanut butter pretzel combo, any kind of pretzel. Big fan.

Go-to drink order on a plane?

I’m a ginger ale or Bloody Mary mix kind of guy. I drink a lot of coffee on a plane. I’ll definitely dip into the booze if it’s on offer but I usually go for a softer drink first.

Must-have

I carry my Contigo travel mug. I usually have coffee in it. I’ve had it for the better part of the last 20 years—it’s been a constant fixture.

I wear a baseball cap, and usually I'll wear layers: a cardigan of some kind, something very soft and comfy that also looks kind of sharp.

I have come to appreciate a couple of luggage brands in my course of experience that I cannot travel without. They're super. Durable. Awesome. Efficient. Great.

I love that their zippers don't break and they don't snag on stuff.
