Celebs who have hosted Saturday Night Live are in a special club â and recently, theyâve made headlines for lifting each other up.
It all started when Regina King shared a cute post-it note message from the previous weekâs host, Dan Levy. The director shared the simple encouragement (âYou got this!â) on her Instagram Story with the caption:
âAwww. Youâre the best @instadanjlevy You crushed it! #snlâ

The next week, Bridgertonâs RegĂ©-Jean Page revealed his own note from the acclaimed actress, which read:
âRegĂ©-Jean, You got next and you are going to be amazing!!! Iâm a big fan!â

Carrying on the pattern, the next host Nick Jonas snapped a selfie with his post-it from the Netflix star, which advised:
âJust have the BEST time Nick!â
Thatâs the plan! Thanks for the note @regejean ???????? @nbcsnl pic.twitter.com/la4XE2kkbn

So cute!
The Schittâs Creek creator got a lot of credit for starting an adorable tradition. But in an interview with Today late last week, he admitted:
âI feel the need to clarify this⊠I didnât start [the tradition]. I kind of continued it.â
In fact, the 37-year-old decided to write his own note after finding one from Woody Harrelson to Phoebe Waller-Bridge from the previous season in his dressing room. He explained:
âSo I asked if I could leave a note for Regina because the process is such a strange experience. ⊠Strange, wonderful and intimidating experience that like, a little note from the person that had just done it felt like such a sweet vote of confidence.â
Considering weâre in SNLâs 46th season, itâs likely these arenât the only instances of host-to-host contact. (Woody himself has hosted four times, so thereâs even a good chance heâs been leaving these notes for years!) But weâre gonna give Dan credit for revitalizing the trend â and we hope other hosts continue to share their sweet messages with us!
