‘SNL’ recap: Emma Stone gushes about husband Dave McCary in monologue

Emma Stone made “herstory” during the Saturday, December 2 episode of Saturday evening live as the youngest member of the elusive five-timer club, but it’s not her top moment from the show.

“I’ve made so many memories and so many friends here, and I even met my husband here SNL,” Stone, 35, gushed SNL monologue with a big grin on her face, referring to husband Dave McCary. “I know he’s quite camera shy, he’s not an artist, but it’s such a special night for us. I’d like the cameras to be watching him, if that’s okay.’

The camera then panned to a straight face Lorne Michaelsthe longtime showrunner of SNLinstead of McCrary, 38.

“I love you so much, honey,” Stone joked as he blew a kiss to Michaels, 79.

The actress joined the five-timers club on Saturday after previously hosting the NBC sketch comedy series in 2010, 2011, 2016 and 2019. To celebrate her achievement, fellow members Tina Fey And Candice Bergen made special cameos during Stone’s monologue.

“At 35 years old, you are officially the youngest member. I’m the second youngest at 53,” Fey added before Bergen, 77, said Stone was making “restory.”

“Stick Season” singer Noah Kahan served as musical guest on Saturday, which marked his own debut in the variety series.

As stated in her monologue, Saturday evening live has had special meaning for Stone and McCary since they met on set in December 2016. At the time, he directed her in a sketch called ‘Wells for Boys’ when she was hosting, and months later in June 2017, they were linked.

Although the couple has maintained a low-profile relationship over the years, they have occasionally shown glimpses of their romance. McCary announced his engagement to Stone via Instagram in December 2019, posting a photo of the duo showing off her ring.

Stone and McCary quietly married in 2020. We weekly exclusively announced in January 2021 that they were expecting their first child, and they welcomed their daughter in March.

Before Louise arrived, Stone spoke of her desire to start a family. “My view of children has changed as I’ve gotten older,” she said Elle in September 2018. “I never babysat or anything. As a teenager I thought, ‘I’m never going to get married, I’m never going to have children.’ And then I got older and I thought, ‘I really want to get married, I really want to have children.’

During her pregnancy, which was still a secret at the time, Stone said Entertainment tonight in November 2020 that she was “feeling pretty good about starting my own pack.”

Stone ultimately chose to return to work after giving birth, which McCary fully supported. “For Emma, ​​quitting acting and being a stay-at-home mom would be like cutting off one of her limbs. That’s just not her,” a source said exclusively Us in September. “Acting is as important to her as breathing, it’s part of who she is – and Dave is behind her 100 percent.”
