Landing the role of host on Saturday Night Live is a milestone moment in any celebrity's career, but some lucky A-listers get the chance to do it more than once. The SNL Five-Timers Club is a group of well-known faces who have hosted the much-loved NBC show at least five times. It makes sense that the biggest names in film and music are the ones who get to take the reins, especially when they get to showcase their talents - such as actor Timothee Chalamet, who fronted the program last month and performed a tribute to the legendary Bob Dylan.

But before these singers, actors and comedians were hosting one of the most successful live television shows, they were just regular high schools students with dreams of making it big. In fact, certain five-timers probably could never have dreamed that they would land such a gig when they were still studying for exams and posing for their yearbook photos. One five-timer in particular wasn't even born when Saturday Night Live first aired on the small screen back in October 1975 - and many of them were just young children at the time.

SNL will celebrate it's 50th anniversary on February 16 with a special Radio City Music Hall concert, and who knows, maybe some members of the Five-Timers Club will make a special appearance. Here, FEMAIL looks back at the A-listers who have been lucky enough to return to Saturday Night Live more than once, but can you guess who they are from their yearbook photos?. This Hollywood actor is pictured here in his senior year at Alfred G. Berner High School in 1976.

This Hollywood actor and father-of-eight became a member of the Five-Timer Club quite some time ago. He has actually hosted Saturday Night Live a total of 17 times, which is the most appearances for one host to date. The celebrity in question made his first appearance on April 21, 1990, and by the new millennium he had already hosted the program eight times. It's none other than Glengarry Glen Ross actor Alec Baldwin, who has received numerous accolades throughout his career including three Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards.

Throughout the years, Baldwin, 66, has impersonated the likes of Al Pacino, Marlon Brando and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on SNL. On September 29, 2016, it was announced that Baldwin would be playing Donald Trump for season 42, where he made his first appearance as Trump for the season premiere of the show. He appeared in every episode of that season except for the November 12, 2016 episode, December 10, 2016 episode, and the January 21, 2017 episode.

Baldwin continued to play Trump through seasons 43, 44, 45, and 46, though his appearances got scaled back season by season due to his busy schedule, and season 46 was the last season for Baldwin to play Trump.

Indeed, it is Never Been Kissed star Drew Barrymore - who was thrust into the limelight at the age of seven when she starred in the 1982 movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Barrymore last hosted SNL on October 10, 2009, but she has been impersonated on the program more recently including on the April 7, 2012 episode during the 'Bein' Quirky with Zooey Deschanel' sketch. Speaking about SNL last year, the mother-of-two said: 'For me the institution of Saturday Night Live is probably something that has been a huge part of my survival, my joy, my aspirations.'.
