It was his hosting responsibilities. Back in 2001, the Yankees icon Derek Jeter got the chance to visit the SNL quarters both as the guest star and the host of the show. Despite feeling jittery at the beginning, it all turned out well for the champ at the end of the day.
Derek Jeter has been a part of several other television segments. Some of the notable ones include appearances in This Morning by CBS and Seinfeld. He is currently working as an analyst for Fox Sports. However, the SNL segment seems to hold a special place in the slugger’s heart.
Saturday Night Live didn’t fail to amaze Jeter with their own set of stars
Jeter starred in the show along with celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, and Will Pharell. Out of all the TV appearances he has made over the course of his career, he tagged this one as his favorite, by far. He is one of the select group of athletes to play a host in the show. The remaining list includes stars like Deion Sanders, Tom Brady, and Travis Kelce.
