Eric McCormack’s Hilarious SNL Confession: He Didn’t Know Jay-Z in 2002

Eric McCormack’s Hilarious SNL Confession: He Didn’t Know Jay-Z in 2002

Eric McCormack, the Will & Grace star, recently shared a jaw-dropping tidbit: when he hosted Saturday Night Live in 2002, he had no clue who Jay-Z was—even though Jay-Z was the musical guest, performing with Beyoncé. This revelation is equal parts funny and fascinating, and it’s worth a quick dive.

Picture November 2, 2002. McCormack, fresh off sitcom success, is hosting SNL. Jay-Z, already a rap icon with The Blueprint in his arsenal, takes the stage with Beyoncé, then transitioning from Destiny’s Child to solo fame. They perform “’03 Bonnie & Clyde,” a track cementing their status as a power couple. Yet McCormack, a pop culture fixture himself, was oblivious. How does that even happen?

It’s a wild disconnect. By 2002, Jay-Z was everywhere—music, fashion, business. Beyoncé was unavoidable too, her star on the rise. For McCormack to miss them suggests either a charming ignorance or a laser focus on his own world. Was he too busy nailing his SNL sketches to notice? Or was hip-hop just not his thing? Either way, it’s a reminder that even celebrities can live in their own bubbles.

Imagine the backstage vibe: McCormack, all charm and professionalism, greeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé, maybe nodding along, secretly thinking, “Who are these two?” Did he bluff his way through? We’ll never know, but it’s a sitcom-worthy moment. Still, he pulled off the gig like a pro, proving live TV thrives on chaos.

This confession also captures 2002 perfectly—a time when entertainment spheres could still feel separate, before social media made every star unmissable. Today, not knowing Jay-Z would be unthinkable; back then, it was just plausible enough to be true.

McCormack’s story is a gem: a seasoned actor sharing the SNL stage with music royalty, unaware of their reign, and laughing about it decades later. It’s a standout detail that makes you appreciate his candor—and the unpredictable magic of that night.
