Saturday Night Live (SNL) pulled out all the stops for its 50th-anniversary celebration, bringing together a star-studded lineup of past and present cast members, musical guests, and Hollywood A-listers for an unforgettable night. Following the three-hour live special on NBC, the real party kicked off at New York's Plaza Hotel, where comedy legends mingled and reminisced about five decades of groundbreaking sketches and performances.
Among those in attendance were icons like Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Chevy Chase, and Adam Sandler, alongside modern-day stars such as Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman. Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Chris Pine also made surprise appearances, making the event feel like a who's who of entertainment.
Lorne Michaels, SNL's legendary creator, reflected on the show's legacy: "Fifty years ago, we had no idea what this would become. Seeing everyone here tonight is proof that SNL is more than a show—it's a cultural institution."
Fans were also treated to nostalgic moments during the special, including Miley Cyrus returning as a musical guest, Kim Kardashian making a cameo, and a touching tribute to late SNL stars who left a lasting impact.
As the night stretched into the early hours, one thing became clear: SNL's influence on comedy is far from over. Here's to another 50 years of live laughs from New York!
