SNL 50: A Hilarious Trip Down Memory Lane with a Few Bumps!

Catch the highlights & lowlights from the monumental SNL 50th Anniversary special!

The Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary special was nothing short of a comedy extravaganza that doused fans in nostalgia for over three glorious hours. With a star-studded lineup featuring both past and present cast members, it promised a night of laughter, memories, and possibly even a few tears of joy. From iconic recurring characters to cheeky celebrity impressions, viewers were treated to a whirlwind of sketches that highlighted why SNL remains a staple in the comedy scene. However, with such a long runtime came some bumps along the way, with certain sketches receiving mixed reviews and leaving audiences wondering, "What just happened?"

Among the most memorable moments were the classic segments that brought everyone together, like Adam Sandler's musical number that had everyone singing along, echoing the unforgettable riffs of his golden years on the show. And let’s not forget the jaw-dropping appearances of iconic alumni and celebrity hosts—each adding their own flair and flavour to the jubilation. However, not all served as the comedy gold fans were hoping for; as with any show, the hit-to-miss ratio fluctuated, leading to a few sketches that felt rather flat amidst the revelry.

Yet, the sheer effort and dedication of the cast both old and new shone through, proving that SNL's legacy is built on resilience, creativity, and of course, a sprinkle of outlandish humour. Fans were left basking in the laughter of yesteryears while experiencing joyful reunions of beloved characters, which meant that even the flops couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces. For those who missed it, don't fret! You can still catch highlights of the best moments streaming online—perfect for a lazy afternoon binge!
