Actor and comedian Jack Black appeared in many places this week. The events included a show where a piece of clothing fell off during the live TV incident, the long-expected movie release, and the guest star of Saturday Night Live. This is enough to make everyone want to know more!
The explosion of the week came on the 31st of March when Black was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Jack Black Laughs about Live TV Pants Drop Incident
Black first got the attention of those present at the Tonight Show by swiftly entering the stage with his red electric guitar. What he also though accidently gave to the fans was the image of his bare legs after his pants had actually slipped down during the performance. The incident that took place on national television was too funny not to become a sensation on social media for a short while.
Not losing a step, Black could not help laughing, readjusted his pants, and returned to the interview. He made fun of the situation and talked to Fallon about his new movie and the SNL show he would participate in that week.
“I showed America a little more than just my singing skills,” he smugly said. The mishap was all the talk over social media minutes later.
SNL Hosting Comeback After 20 Years
Jack Black will take the stage at the Saturday Night Live on Saturday, April 5, after a long furlough. This is his first appearance on the show in two decades.
Black fears he might have a nightmare during the performance and said live that he’s been having nightmares about it all throughout this week. He owned up to the fact that he’s terrified of returning to sketch comedy.
“I want it to be without a single mistake,” he confessed. “But in my sleep, it’s never like that.”
Black was willing to admit that although he felt fearful of the situation, he is looking forward to working with the newly cast and the old friends even more. His previous hosting date of drama was 2005, and everyone is eager to get him back on the Studio 8H stage.
A Minecraft Movie
Earlier in the week before his SNL appearance, the A Minecraft Movie hit the big screens on April 4. The main character is portrayed by Black, who is a pixelated hero from the popular game, Minecraft.
Jason Momoa also appears in the film with Black. While the animations were appreciated as being innovative and not reused, not everyone agreed. According to some reporters at The Times, the film was “the worst thing that could ever happen” and the reason was that it didn’t have a powerful story. The Financial Times, on the other hand, rated it two stars and declared it a film with a confusing plot.
What is true, however, is the fact that the audience is talking very much about this film. The Minecraft fans are buying tickets to watch a fantastic 3D version of their block world on the big screen.
Charity Music Release by Tenacious D
There is even more news about Jack Black; his music outfit Tenacious D is making a return for charity. The comedy rock band consisting of Black and Kyle Gass has just come out with a new song cover this week. The track is a cover of the REO Speedwagon song “Keep On Loving You” from the Good Music To Lift Los Angeles charity album.
The charity record is for the benefit of those affected by the most recent wildfires in California. The Tenacious D song is arguably the most streamed track in the compilation to date.

Well, it is more than just the music that Jack Black has performed as he has taken part in the filming of the new Anaconda, an adventure comedy remake. News is that his co-star, Paul Rudd, and Black are now in Queensland, Australia, working on the project.
It is anticipated that this project will be released towards the end of the year 2025, specifically during the festive season. The local newspaper reports that the movie will bring employment opportunities, new energy, and opportunities to the locality. Also, there is little information available at this moment regarding the character that Black is going to play, but rumors hint to a funny turn from the original thriller.
