Believe it or not, Saturday Night Live has been on the air for five decades. From coining the most iconic lines in showbiz — such as “I gotta have more cowbell” and “Can I have your number?” — to introducing hilariously memorable characters, like Marcello Hernandez‘s Domingo, viewers have been laughing along with each new cast of SNL since 1975. This year, NBCUniversal is commemorating the show’s 50th season with a program, which kicked off with the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Valentine’s Day! So, when is the actual SNL 50th anniversary special?
The SNL50: The Homecoming Concert was held live from New York (of course!) at Radio City Music Hall. Several celebrity performers dazzled the stage, all of whom have been a musical guest on SNL in the past.
News47.us has compiled all the info you need to know about the SNL 50th special below.
The SNL50 concert aired live on NBC and Peacock on Friday, February 14. Viewers can watch it again on Peacock.
Almost all of Hollywood — and SNL royalty — showed up for the event. Musical performances were even combined with comical sketches. Justin Timberlake couldn’t accompany Andy Samberg for their “D**k in a Box” sketch, so Lady Gaga filled in and brought her own spin to it.
The concert was packed with multiple musical performances from Gaga, Miley Cyrus, The B-52’s, the Backstreet Boys, Nirvana and Post Malone, Jack White and more.
