message: Is there any stated rule that the "five times" have to be in the same field (hosting or musical guesting)? (IE: Why are Sting's 2 hosting gigs not counted to make him a 7-timer?)  TheHYPO 06:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not a real thing 

message: If you count hosting and musical act appearances seperate as the article alludes too. Then if you host and are musical act on the same show it should be counted as 2 instead of one.Aladdin Zane 13:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

===The "Five Timers' Club"===
The following performers have hosted SNL at least five times. A  indicates that the performers are the subjects of their own "Best of ..." videotape, DVD, or compilation special. If a  appears next to a person's name that means they were once a cast member on the show. The Five-Timers Club originates from a sketch which appeared on Tom Hanks' fifth episode.

message: From the table, I have removed mention of musical guests who have appeared 5+ times.  This article and the Five-Timers Club are about those who have hosted 5+ times.  Paul Simon seems to be the exception here, but Eminem, Dave Matthews, Sting, etc. shouldn't be included.  --  Wikipedical (talk) 21:56, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
