WATCH: Ego Nwodim celebrates cousin Eberechi Eze's FA Cup Victory by sporting a Crystal Palace kit on Saturday Night Live finale

During the closing moments of Saturday Night Live's season finale on May 18, 2025, cast member Ego Nwodim was spotted wearing a Crystal Palace kit. The SNL star was seen wearing the Eagles’ third jersey from the 2022-23 season just hours after her cousin Eberechi Eze and the club won their first major trophy by beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Not only that, her fellow cast member Marcello Hernandez stood with his arm wrapped around Nwodim's shoulder as the two pointed and tugged at the shirt to celebrate the achievement.

Crystal Palace's 1-0 victory over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium marked the end of a 120-year trophy drought for the south London club. Eze scored the decisive goal, cementing his status as a club hero and validating his emergence as one of the Premier League's most exciting talents. The win represents one of the most significant upsets in recent FA Cup history, with Palace defeating Pep Guardiola's dominant Manchester City side against considerable odds.

Crystal Palace will complete their Premier League season with fixtures against Wolves on May 20 and Liverpool on the final day of the season on May 24 while basking in their historic achievement. For Eze, his focus will be on finishing the season strong so that he earns a call-up to the England national team ahead of the Three Lions' World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Senegal scheduled for early June.
