Jack White Gives A Thrilling Performance On 'SNL' — On 2 Days' Notice

This week's Saturday Night Live musical guest was supposed to be Morgan Wallen, before the country singer got himself disinvited . On Friday morning, SNL creator Lorne Michaels announced that Jack White — whose best-known band, The White Stripes , releases a greatest-hits album in December — would show up to perform in Wallen's place. Though we're only two episodes into Season 46, it's hard to imagine that White's turn won't come out near the top when it's time to rank SNL 's 2020-21 musical guests. Unencumbered by new material to promote, White cranked out a few scorching career highlights, including 2014's solo hit "Lazaretto" — which he performed with a guitar designed for him by the late Eddie Van Halen — and uncorked a fantastic medley. YouTube That medley fused unexpected pieces in remarkable ways, kicking off with "Don't Hurt Yourself" — the song he co-wrote and performed on Beyoncé 's Lemonade — before shifting into a version of The White Stripes' "Ball and Biscuit" that
