Jack Nicholson made a surprise appearance during Saturday Night Live’s star-studded 50th Anniversary special on Sunday night.

The 87-year-old rarely seen actor was accompanied by his 34-year-old daughter Lorraine, whom he shares with ex Rebecca Broussard.

From his seat in the audience, Jack introduced Adam Sandler, who performed an original ode to the sketch comedy and its 50 years on-air. 

‘Ladies and gentleman, Adam Sandler,’ Nicholson said, while dressed in a black beret with a New York Yankees logo on the front and purple-tinted, black-rimmed eyewear.

He wore a black suit and dress shirt while daughter Lorraine sat beside him in a brown, sleeveless dress.

And next to them were Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who also made a shock appearance amid the former’s ongoing legal drama with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.

‘Yeah, baby! Let’s hear it for Jack, baby,’ Sandler shouted before beginning his song. 

‘Jack made it out tonight. Love you, brother,’ he added.

Sandler and Nicholson notably starred together in the 2003 movie Anger Management. 

In addition to Lorraine, Nicholson shares son Ray, 33 on February 20, with Broussard. 

He also is father to daughter Jennifer, 61, whom he shares with Sandra Knight; son Caleb, 54, with Susan Anspach; daughter Honey, 44, with Winnie Hollman; and daughter Tessa, 31, with Jennine Gourin.

Tessa, is estranged from the Shining actor, and in a 2023 Newsweek article referred to herself as the ‘result of a womanizing actor’s fling with someone who was then a young waitress.’
