Jake Gyllenhaal Belts Out Celine Dion Hit Throughout ‘SNL’ Monologue: Watch

Jake Gyllenhaal confirmed off his musical chops throughout his triumphant return to internet hosting Saturday Evening Reside.

Throughout his opening monologue on April 9, the 41-old-actor — who appeared on the sketch comedy present to advertise his new movie Ambulance — fondly recalled internet hosting SNL for the primary time in 2007 earlier than belting out Celine Dion‘s 1996 hit track “It’s All Coming Again to Me Now.”

“I by no means thought SNL would come calling once more. It’s been 15 years and I wasn’t certain I’d keep in mind easy methods to host,” Gyllenhaal stated. “However being right here tonight, it appears like all the things is instantly… coming again.”

From there, the actor dramatically delivered the tender opening strains of Dion’s Falling Into You opening tack, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Sizzling 100 in 1996. Halfway via his passionate efficiency, Gyllenhaal was joined by SNL‘s Cecily Robust, Chloe Fineman and Ego Nwodim, who supplied vibrant backup vocals.

The hilarious second recalled Gyllenhaal’s SNL monologue in 2007, when he appeared in full drag for a Dreamgirls spoof alongside sparkly backup singers Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig.
