Jack Black hosted last weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live and was part of a hilarious skit about a goth teenager (played by Michael Longfellow) having a miserable time in Jamaica with his family. "Goth Kid on Vacation" began with cast members Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim singing a reggae song and morphed into a parody of My Chemical Romance's “Welcome to the Black Parade,” with Black portraying the band's singer Gerard Way.
The comedian/musician was hosting to celebrate the premiere of his latest film, A Minecraft Movie. The soundtrack includes a song by Black that features Dave Grohl. In actual MCR news, the band is gearing up for their Welcome to the Black Parade stadium tour, which kicks off this summer. Different special guests will be playing support on each date, including Violent Femmes, 100 Gecs, Wallows, Garbage, Pixies, Alice Cooper, Devo, Death Cab for Cutie, Thursday, IDLES and Evanescence.
