SNL Screen Time Report: Scarlett Johansson and Bad Bunny (S50 E20)

Scarlett Johansson helped close out the 50th season of Saturday Night Live this weekend, becoming the first woman to ever host the show seven times. She appeared in just over one-third of the May 17 episode, adding four seconds to this season’s female host screen time average.

Scroll down to see how Johansson stacked up against each of the show’s named performers this week, including musical guest Bad Bunny and four unannounced guests.

Note: Our screen time calculation method has been developed in partnership with longtime SNL statistician Mike Murray, host of the Saturday Night Network’s weekly By The Numbers podcast. We prioritize face time, meaning that any contiguous (off-screen but in-scene) moments and practically all partial body appearances do not count. Screen time in the opening credits, bumpers, goodnights and cut-for-time sketches are not included, nor do those portions factor into our assessment of the episode’s total running time.

Scarlett Johansson – 21:21 / 33.77%

Johansson’s first SNL hosting gig in over five years was comprised of 12 segment appearances, each of which lasted less than four minutes. She even showed up for almost two minutes toward the end of “Weekend Update,” becoming the first host to appear during the news segment since Kristen Wiig on April 6, 2024.

Colin Jost – 10:27 / 16.53%

Johansson’s spouse finished Season 50 with at least 12 more minutes of cumulative screen time than any other performer. He has continuously ranked as this season’s most prominent cast member since April 5 and clocked in ahead of all of his fellow regulars in the last two consecutive episodes.

Michael Che – 8:59 / 14.21%

This was by far Michael Che’s strongest episode of the season as measured by screen time, with his previous record having been 6:40 on December 21. As was the case this week, his lengthy Christmas show performance involved a “joke swap” with Jost.

Bad Bunny – 8:58 / 14.18%

Bad Bunny logged practically equal amounts of sketch and musical performance time over the course of four segments. Though he is the only Season 50 musical guest who spent less than five minutes actually performing songs, Charli XCX still holds the record for shortest single music segment of the season (“360” on November 16).

Ego Nwodim – 8:16 / 13.08%

This week’s episode saw Ego Nwodim come within nine seconds of breaking her personal Season 50 screen time record, which she set on April 12. She spent over 34% of her time in the finale bringing Miss Eggy back to “Weekend Update,” albeit for about one less minute than last time.

Kenan Thompson – 7:32 / 11.92%

Kenan Thompson gave his longest performance of the night in “Mike Myers Elevator Ride,” playing Kanye West, who was previously impersonated several times each by ex-cast members Jay Pharaoh and Chris Redd. He was also seen for more than 100 seconds each in the live sketches “Local News Stories” and “Intimacy Coordinators.”

Bowen Yang – 7:09 / 11.31%

Bowen Yang made a memorable contribution to this episode as the star of “Bowen’s Still Straight,” a sequel to the Season 49 pretape in which he appeared with Sydney Sweeney. The latest entry ran about 45 seconds longer than the first, leading to a half-minute screen time increase for Yang.

James Austin Johnson – 6:48 / 10.76%

Following his 15th and final Season 50 cold open performance as Donald Trump, James Austin Johnson racked up nearly two additional minutes of screen time across three segments, the last of which (“Victorian Ladies at Lunch”) featured him in voiceover only.

Sarah Sherman – 5:56 / 9.39%

Sarah Sherman ended up as this season’s most prominent female performer by a margin of 14 minutes. Along with Jost and Yang, she is also one of only three cast members to have accumulated more than two hours of Season 50 screen time.

Marcello Hernandez – 5:37 / 8.88%

Marcello Hernandez had more than five minutes of screen time in 10 of this season’s 20 episodes, including six that aired in 2025. He earned the bulk of his time this week in “Couples at the Bar,” which also featured a nearly four-minute performance from Bad Bunny.

Mikey Day – 3:59 / 6.30%

Mikey Day’s nearly minute-long turn in May 17’s “First Class” pretape made him only the second male cast member to take part in a Please Don’t Destroy sketch this season. The first was Emil Wakim, whose performance in October 19’s “Skydiving” was similar to Day’s this week in that they both played aircraft pilots.

Heidi Gardner – 3:58 / 6.27%

Heidi Gardner was seen in five of this episode’s segments for less than 90 seconds each. Apart from the monologue, her longest performance was as one of the women in the night’s closing sketch, “Victorian Ladies at Lunch.”

Ashley Padilla – 3:52 / 6.12%

This was the 10th episode this season in which Ashley Padilla logged more screen time than either of her fellow featured players. In terms of cumulative Season 50 screen time, she also ended up being the only featured cast member to outpace multiple repertory players (Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker).

Mike Myers – 3:39 / 5.77%

Mike Myers’s fourth Season 50 sketch, “Mike Myers Elevator Ride,” was the first in which the former cast member played himself rather than Elon Musk. His mid-show performance this week was 26 seconds longer than his previous Season 50 record.

Emil Wakim – 3:21 / 5.30%

Including his latest performance as Saudi Arabian leader Mohammed bin Salman, Wakim appeared in seven cold opens throughout his debut season. He participated in all of this week’s first three segments but was totally absent from the final 10.

Chloe Fineman – 3:19 / 5.25%

Chloe Fineman’s appearance during Johansson’s monologue was more than long enough to finally put her past the one-hour screen time mark for the season. She was the last female repertory player to reach that milestone, as each of the others did by January 25.

Andrew Dismukes – 3:01 / 4.77%

Alongside Jost, Che, Nwodim, and Johnson, Andrew Dismukes is one of five cast members who consistently logged at least three minutes of screen time in each of this season’s final nine episodes. He spent over half of his time this week playing the server in “Victorian Ladies at Lunch.”

Jane Wickline – 2:54 / 4.59%

This was only the second episode this season in which the three current featured players were on screen for at least two and a half minutes each. Though Jane Wickline finished last among the group in terms of actual screen time this week, she boasted the most segment appearances, with four compared to Padilla and Wakim’s three apiece.

RaiNao – 2:08 / 3.37%

RaiNao, who is featured on the studio recording of Bad Bunny’s “Perfumito Nuevo,” joined him for a live performance of the song during which she appeared on screen for 15 seconds longer than Bad Bunny himself.

Devon Walker – 1:28 / 2.32%

Having already held the position for over a month, Walker cemented himself at the very bottom of the Season 50 cast member cumulative screen time list this week. At least seven minutes (or an average of nearly 12 minutes) separate him from the show’s trio of featured players.

Martin Herlihy – 1:09 / 1.82%

“First Class” was the sixth Please Don’t Destroy sketch to air this season and the second to be included in a season finale after 2023’s “Hangxiety.” It was also the second to feature a performance from Bad Bunny, after last season’s “Bad Bunny is Shrek.”

John Higgins – 1:09 / 1.82%

All three Please Don’t Destroy members finished this season with around seven minutes of screen time apiece. Last season, they each accumulated at least nine minutes across 10 aired sketches.

Ben Marshall – 1:02 / 1.63%

“First Class” was the longest Please Don’t Destroy sketch to air this season, surpassing December 7’s “Paul Mescal is Daddy” by a full minute. The average length of their Season 50 shorts is 3:30.

Michael Longfellow – 0:47 / 1.24%

Longfellow made his sole appearance this week alongside most of his castmates during Johansson’s musical monologue. He joked that he’s only been in four sketches throughout his three years on the show, but he actually showed up in 49 this season alone.

Emily Ratajkowski – 0:08 / 0.21%

Emily Ratajkowski made her second-ever SNL cameo over three years after appearing in the 12th and most recent “What Up With That?” sketch with Oscar Isaac and Nicholas Braun. In this case, the supermodel briefly played a version of herself at the end of “Bowen’s Still Straight.”

Gina Gershon – 0:07 / 0.18%

Fourteen months after cameoing as herself in “Bowen’s Straight,” Gina Gershon returned for its sequel, delivering a performance almost half the length of her first.
