Welcome to *Saturday Night Live *after dark.

This past weekend's *SNL *marked Jack Black's induction into the elite club of five-time hosts, to which he was graciously welcomed by fellow members Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen, and Melissa McCarthy.

The show was full of uproarious, often provocative sketches, per Black's unique gift for off-color material. But one sketch would have stood above the raunchy rest, had it not been cut for time. That's "Simon's Life," a racy little number featuring Black and cast member Andrew Dismukes dressed up in lace lingerie that is now live on the *SNL *YouTube page.

"Simon's Life" starts out with Please Don't Destroy member Martin Herlihy explaining that his "adult cousin" Simon has "trouble making friends" and "difficulty connecting with new people."

Herlihy then appears as Simon, hitting on a woman played by Jane Wickline by teasing such alluring aspects of his life as his "bed, which is shaped like a car!" Simon extends a dripping wet hand and introduces himself as "El Tigre" before exposing himself to Wickline's innocent shopper.

Simon, however, is a member of a queer polycule, which includes Ashley Padilla, John Higgins, and Chloe Fineman playing someone named "Chobani." Despite his weirdness, Simon's rich community inspires envy in his cousin, which is spiked with even more weirdness when Simon's mom's "weird boyfriend" introduces his big secret.

Dismukes then appears in soft focus, in a warmly lit bedroom scene, dressed only in a suggestive lingerie set from his bespoke line, Brian's Secret. "When it comes to lingerie, why let women have all the fun?" Brian asks.

The question eats away at Simon's cousin even more when he walks in on his girlfriend (Veronika Slowikowska) in bed with Jack Black, as Jack Black. "It's not her fault!" Black screams, sheets pulled taut to cover his own secret. Well, Brian's Secret too.

"No one can resist the power," he shouts, "the power of my lingerie!" Then Black throws the covers back, revealing himself dressed in a smart pink set, and vamps for the camera.

"Simon's Life" isn't the only cut sketch from Saturday's newest *SNL *that's now making waves.

Mikey Day appeared on "Weekend Update," where he shocked co-anchor Colin Jost by revealing a tattoo of his wife, Scarlett Johansson. "Well, this is awkward," he quips.

Jost dissolved into laughter, putting his head down on the table, as Day pleaded, "I'm a fan! I got it before you were married! I didn't know I'd be taking my shirt off!"

*Saturday Night Live *airs every Saturday on NBC, and streams on Peacock.
