Watch Every Sketch From the SNL 50th Anniversary Show

Fifty years of laughs, legends, and live television magic culminated in SNL50: The Anniversary Special, a star-studded celebration of the iconic late-night show's legacy. From beloved recurring sketches to surprise guest appearances, the night was a nostalgic and hilarious tribute to the best of Saturday Night Live. If you missed it (or just want to relive the fun), we've got you covered with every sketch from the special. 

50th Monologue 

The celebration kicked off with a classic monologue, featuring Steve Martin, John Mulaney, and Martin Short reminiscing about their SNL moments. 

New York 50th Musical 

A musical love letter to the city that never sleeps (and never stops producing comedy gold). 

Black Jeopardy 

One of SNL's sharpest recurring sketches returns, proving once again that some contestants just don’t get it. 

Domingo: Vow Renewal 

Internet sensation Domingo takes center stage in a chaotic vow renewal ceremony. 

Weekend Update ft. Bobby Moynihan, Cecily Strong, Fred Armisen, Vanessa Bayer, Bill Murray 

Michael Che and Colin Jost welcomed back fan-favorite correspondents for a jam-packed Weekend Update segment: 

• The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With (Cecily Strong) and Drunk Uncle (Bobby Moynihan) had a lot to update us on — psst, a baby! — in their return to Weekend Update.
• Seth Meyers is back behind the Weekend Update desk to introduce Lorne Michaels' BFFs from childhood, played by Vanessa Bayer and Fred Armisen. What starts off on a promising note quickly spirals into a mini roast.
• And Bill Murray gave his definitive ranking of the best Weekend Update anchors, but Michael Che may have a tiny issue with it...

Lawrence Welk 

The delightfully odd Lawrence Welk Show parody made its grand return, complete with tiny hands and big laughs. 

Physical Comedy 

A tribute to SNL's finest slapstick and pratfalls — sometimes, a good fall is all you need for a laugh. 

Audience Q&A 

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took questions from the audience, leading to hilarious and unexpected moments. 

Digital Short: Anxiety 

Andy Samberg tells Bowen Yang not to sweat it. Apparently, everyone who’s ever worked at SNL is just a hot mess of anxiety, so welcome to the club. 

Chad in 8H 

Laraine Newman takes a trip down memory lane in Studio 8H with Chad (Pete Davidson), because who better to reminisce with than the guy who’s somehow still that guy? 

Close Encounter 50th 

Pedro Pascal, Woody Harrelson, Kate McKinnon, and Meryl Streep share their out-of-this-world alien abduction experiences. Even A-listers can't escape the cosmic weirdness. 

Commercial Parodies 

Alec Baldwin introduces SNL’s commercial parodies, reliving the hilarious ads that made us laugh... and then wonder why we ever bought anything. 

Debbie Downer: Bar 

Jimmy Fallon, Ayo Edebiri, Drew Barrymore, and Robert De Niro try to grab a drink, but Debbie Downer (Rachel Dratch) ruins the vibe by turning every conversation into a dark, uncomfortable TED Talk. 

In Memoriam 

Tom Hanks introduces SNL’s tribute to the canceled and cringeworthy jokes of yesteryear, proof that some things are better left in the past — like these sketches. Watch it on SNL's YouTube page.

Adam Sandler's Song: 50 Years 

Adam Sandler performs a heartfelt song celebrating 50 years of SNL, bringing nostalgia and laughs as only he can. 

Bronx Beat 

Two classic New Yorkers bring you all the gossip you didn’t ask for — and we’re here for it. 

John Belushi 

Garrett Morris takes us down memory lane with Tom Schiller’s 1978 film, Don’t Look Back in Anger, reminding us that even the original cast had their “why did we do this?” moments. 

Scared Straight 

Three ex-cons (Kenan Thompson, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell) try to terrify a group of teens (Mikey Day, Marcello Hernández, Michael Longfellow), but it turns out the real horror is their attempts at being intimidating. 

50th Anniversary Goodnights 

Martin Short wraps up SNL’s 50th anniversary special with a star-studded send-off. No one knows how to close a show with chaotic energy and a laugh-out-loud finale quite like him.
