SNL 50 The Anniversary Special 02/16/25: Whole show (Commercial Free) SKETCH LISTINGS : Steve Martin’s monologue: There’s a reason why Steve Martin has hosted more than anyone else. Martin’s monologue hit every single note an iconic “SNL” monologue should from topical political barbs like calling himself the show’s “newest diversity hire” and claiming he was vacationing in the “Gulf of Steve Martin,” to self-depreciatingly calling the very bit he was doing “the weakest part of the show.” Martin once again proved he was the best, and the surprise cameos from fellow greats John Mulaney and Martin Short were just the cherries on top. It has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The Lawrence Welk show sketch with Fred Armisen, Will Ferrell, Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Wiig. “Black Jeopardy 50th” Eddie Murphy playing Tracy Jordan next to the “30 Rock” star and Tom Hanks returning as Doug. Hosted by Kenan Thompson, “Black Jeopardy” has long been one of the most consistently funny recurring “SNL” bits, following in the footsteps of Will Ferrell’s “Celebrity Jeopardy.” At the end of the day, it’s just fun to see celebrities impersonating each other and to watch “SNL” legends pretend not to know what “Saturday Night Live” is. Appearance of Sally O’Malley, retrospective segment about physical comedy throughout the seasons. "Vow renewal” Sketch with Martin short, Molly Shannon Shannon, Chloe Fineman, singers Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny and many other SNL cast members.”Deep Thoughts" segment, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s Q&A: Seth Meyers put it best: “It kind of feels like this whole question-and-answer thing is just a way for you to give some airtime to celebrities who aren’t in other parts of the show.” Nailed it, Seth. And the fact that the “Late Night” host is in a sketch format he so strongly and publicly dislikes makes this particular observation even sweeter. Poehler and Fey’s Q&A was unapologetically a gimmick. But it also led to some of the funniest and most memorable moments of the special, from Poehler reassuring Bad Bunny that he’s genuinely funny as a hopeful Jon Hamm looks on, to Fey asking Ryan Reynolds “How’s it going?” leading to a defensive, “Great, what have you heard?” It struck exactly the right balance between broad and tongue-in-cheek that Poehler and Fey have perfected over the years. Digital Short: If the tone for the anniversary special could be summed up in one sketch, this would be it. The Lonely Island’s latest Digital Short is aggressively inside baseball as former cast member Andy Samberg reassures current cast member Bowen Yang that everyone who has ever worked on “Saturday Night Live” struggles with anxiety. Laced with a synthy ’80s beat and filled with references to the “Bass-O-Matic” and “Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood,” this song is truly just for the cast, crew and fans of “SNL.” In that way, it shares some DNA with Adam Sandler’s far more sincere 50th anniversary song. Miley Cyrus is showing love to the late Sinead O'Connor, years after she was involved in a public spat with the musician. Cyrus appeared with Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard to perform O'Connor's rendition of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U." The powerful performance officially laid to rest any lingering sparks of resentment the former Hannah Montana star may have had for O'Connor, who once kicked off a social media-fueled feud with her over a decade ago. The pressure was on for “Weekend Update” to deliver with Chevy Chase in the room, and the segment led by Colin Jost and Michael Che did just that. Some of the strongest and funniest bits from the evening came from Update, including the returns of Bobby Moynihan’s Drunk Uncle and Cecily Strong’s Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party, as well as Fred Armisen and Vanessa Bayer playing Lorne Michaels’ Best Friends From Growing Up. Naturally, it was former anchor Bill Murray who brought the segment home thanks to his personal ranking of all the former Update anchors over the past 50 years. “Close Encounter 50th” It’s always a joy to see Kate McKinnon return as Ms. Rafferty, a chain-smoking, splay-legged woman whose alien encounters are always a bit different than those of her peers. And for the 50th anniversary, this beloved sketch returned with a twist, introducing Meryl Streep as Colleen Sr., the mother of McKinnon’s character. Between Streep’s line delivery of “the devil wears nada” and McKinnon repeatedly groping Woody Harrelson, this reprisal came as close as possible to capturing the magic of the original. “Chad in 8H” When it comes to beloved recurring characters, less is often more. The latest “Chad” is one of the only sketches of the evening that took that advice to heart. When Laraine Newman returns to Studio 8H to once again gaze upon her former TV home, she’s met by Pete Davidson’s clueless but well-meaning Chad. Short and sweet, the sketch allowed Newman to whole-heartedly reminisce about the early days of this iconic show, leaning on Chad’s slack-jawed expressions and random interjections to carry the jokes. It also made room for Newman to comedically shine, particularly when the legend reflected on “all the partying and the sex” of those first seasons. “Adam Sandler’s Song: 50 Years” It’s a rare treat to see the sincere side of Sandler. That’s what the film and comedy legend displayed in an acoustic number that touched on everything from Lorne Michaels’ private bathroom to shoutouts for Eddie Murphy, Will Forte, Jan Hooks and Gilda Radner, just to name a few of the former cast members he highlighted. Packed full of inside jokes, the song felt a bit like something you would hear on the last night of summer camp. “New York 50th Musical” John Mulaney’s musical sketches have always felt a bit like a fever dream. In the case of the 50th anniversary special, that fever was a combination of the flu, COVID, RSV and the norovirus. The sketch starts in the grimy epicenter of New York in the ’70s as Pete Davidson and David Spade ask Mulaney for a hot dog with heroin. By its end, Lin-Manuel Miranda reprises his role as Hamilton as Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte and Kristen Wiig perform an homage to “Les Misérables” dressed as Times Square characters. It’s a truly wild 10 minutes of live television that begs you to laugh at its sheer audacity. But more than that, the now seventh (!!!) musical highlights a vital part of “SNL” that is often brushed over: “Saturday Night Live” is a New York institution. It’s as much of the city as it is a reflection of the city’s current state. What better way to honor that than through Broadway knockoffs designed to enrage The Walt Disney Company? Alec Baldwin, the show's most frequent host with 17 stints, appeared to do a parity of new nighttime sleep aid "after update" and also to introduce a highlights reel of commercial parodies though out the 50 years of SNL seasons. Mike Myers’ Linda Richman Surprises Amy Poehler & Maya Rudolph’s ‘Bronx Beat With Betty And Jodi’ On ‘SNL50,’ Talkin’ About Her “Zorch. Dave Chapelle introduces Lil Wayne and The Roots for a live performance. ‘SNL 50’: Tom Hanks Delivers “In Memoriam” Semi-Tribute To “Characters And Sketches That Have Aged Horribly” On its 50th anniversary special, Saturday Night Live wanted to have its nostalgic cake and eat it, too, owning up to the stereotypes it has perpetuated while also coaxing laughs out of the passage of time. In a send-up of awards-show “in memoriam” segments, a tuxedoed Tom Hanks soberly took the darkly lit stage during Sunday’s SNL50: The Anniversary Special. “As we celebrate the achievements of the past 50 years,” he intoned, “we must also take a moment to remember those who we’ve lost. Countless members of the SNL family taken from us way too soon. I’m speaking, of course, about SNL characters and sketches that have aged horribly.” Debbie Downer Is Back, Gets Choked By Robert De Niro. While Debbie could bring down the mood anywhere she goes with her grim remarks, she also is one of Saturday Night Live characters that have taken on a life of their own, with Debbie Downer now widely used as a nickname for a pessimistic person. Eddie Murphy joins Kenan Thompson And Will Ferrell In Crazy “Scared Straight” Sketch. Eddie Murphy returned for another sketch, this time as one of three prisoners trying to try to scare a trio of young male shoplifters “straight.” The sketch was a spoof of the documentary Scared Straight, the program in which prisoners scream and yell at teens in an effort to get them to avoid a life of crime. It’s become an occasional SNL spoof over the years. Garrett Morris introduces a look back at the 1978 film, shot by Tom Schiller, that features the entire original cast in Don't Look Back in Anger. Garrett Morris, one of the oldest original cast, introduced a clip where John Belushi, the first SNL cast member to die, took us on a tour where he was the last cast member to die. The irony when he says Garrett died of a heroin overdose, and John was the last one left, when he laments why me? Why did they die? So symbolic and poetic. It is just amazing this clip exists, and I know that's why they showed it. And also as tribute to John. A young life lost. Paul McCartney performs LIVE who was introduced to the stage by Martin Short, played a three-song set, performing the Beatles' "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight" and "The End.” After the performance, Short closed the evening, surrounded on stage by stars including McCartney, "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels, several generations of "SNL" casts, Pedro Pascal, Sabrina Carpenter and more. Several original cast members, including Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman and Jane Curtin, held up a photo of Radner, who died in 1989.
