Hosting the May 18 season 49 finale episode, which featured musical guest Sabrina Carpenter, the Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Tony Award nominee prefaced his impromptu performance with the following speech:

“When you think of historic television seasons, the first number that pops into your head is 49. I mean, sure, you know, one more episode and I would have been hosting the premiere of the 50th season, but who cares?

“I know we’re all waiting for Season 50, but you can’t get to 50, without a little bit of 49. And we’re here at the finale, the end of the road.”

Gyllenhaal recently starred in Prime Video’s “Road House,” where he played a former UFC fighter struggling to make ends meet, and he will appear in a new eight-part Apple Original Series called “Presumed Innocent” next month.
