'SNL' star Ego Nwodim sports Crystal Palace shirt after cousin Eberechi Eze leads team to FA Cup win

During the closing credits of the show's season finale, "Saturday Night Live" cast member Ego Nwodim wore a Crystal Palace shirt with the name of her cousin, Palace player Eberechi Eze, on the back after he led the team to FA Cup glory.

"Saturday Night Live" cast member Ego Nwodim celebrated the end of the show's historic 50th season the usual way, by socializing on stage in Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

She was there with the host, Scarlett Johansson, the musical guest, Bad Bunny, and fellow cast members. But her heart may have been dreaming of celebrations on the other side of the Atlantic.

Nwodim made sure cameras captured her upper torso as she sported a Crystal Palace jersey with the name of her cousin, English soccer star Eberechi Eze, on the back.

Hours earlier, Eze had helped Palace win the first major trophy in its 120-year professional history, scoring the only goal in the Eagles' 1-0 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

In a 2023 interview for the Crystal Palace website, Eze revealed the family relation and said he had given Nwodim one of his jerseys.
