‘SNL’ Host Jack Black Joins Chester Cheetah In Flamin’ Hot Preparation H Commercial​on April 6, 2025 at 4:52 am

On this week’s episode of SNL, host Jack Black joins Cheetos mascot Chester Cheetah for a commercial selling a twist on a familiar product.

Voiceover sets the stage for what is just “another ordinary party.” Black (as “Stuart, Flamin’ Hot Freak”) then kicks the door down and takes over the party, with Chester in tow.

“Ordinary?” Chester (Andrew Dismukes) asks in voiceover.

“That’s for the other guy!” says Black.

We cut to a plate of mild wings, with Stuart insisting, “Mild? I ain’t no child. I need it wild!” and drenching them in buffalo sauce.

“And when it’s time to deploy some major snackage,” we hear in voiceover, “only flamin’ hot will do.”

“But let’s shoot straight, king,” says Chester. “All that in-your-face flavor can really mess up your butt. Inflammation, swelling, painful irritation. You need fast relief. You need the cooling touch of Preparation H.”

Black knocks the door down again, saying “Not this dog, dog. I need to take it to the extreme!”

His character introduces a new hemorrhoidal ointment called Flamin’ Hot Preparation H, which promises “20,000 Scoville units…packed into an easy-to-apply dark red cream.”

“Oh good lord,” Chester says, “why on earth would you put that on your anus?”

Stuart says “you need to fight fire with fire,” but Chester thinks this is “a horrible idea.”

Stuart insists “it’s science,” but of course winds up majorly regretting his decision to use this product.

Appearing to promote Warner Bros’ A Minecraft Movie, Black’s outing tonight as host is his first in two decades and fourth overall. Elton John and Brandi Carlile are the musical guests.
