Ego Nwodim, a cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” marked the end of the show’s 50th season in her usual celebratory manner. During the event, hosted by Scarlett Johansson with musical guest Bad Bunny at Rockefeller Center, she wore a Crystal Palace jersey showcasing her cousin, English soccer star Eberechi Eze. The significance of this attire was heightened by Eze’s recent achievement; earlier that day, he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final, leading Crystal Palace to its first major trophy in 120 years against Manchester City.
In a 2023 Crystal Palace interview, Eze confirmed their family connection, explaining that he had gifted Nwodim one of his jerseys. The shirt she wore reflects the club’s third kit for the 2022/23 season and has been sported by her on previous occasions. Both Nwodim and Eze share Igbo Nigerian heritage, with Eze hailing from South London and Nwodim from Baltimore.
Saturday was a historic day for both of them—while “SNL” celebrated its milestone 50-season run that began as a platform for folk music and psychedelic comedy, Eze secured victory in a prestigious sporting event at Wembley Stadium. Their achievements highlight a notable intersection of entertainment and sports, underscoring both family pride and cultural heritage amidst significant milestone celebrations.
