From star-studded cameos to resurrected sketches,where churches have become temples of cheese, fitness and eroticism alien abduction stories to a full-circle Domingo moment, SNL's 50th anniversary special was one for the fans.
Aired on NBC on Sunday night after Friday's anniversary concert (and available to stream on Peacock), the three-hour episode featured a colossal amount of former and current cast members and hosts. Sure, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey's audience Q&A took an awkward Ryan Reynolds turn, but the sketches were nostalgic, celebrity-filled, and chaotic.
SEE ALSO: 'SNL's 'Weekend Update' is full of special guests, but missing a major starIn no particular order, here are the sketches from SNL50you should watch, from a "Bronx Beat/Coffee Talk" mashup to the revival of "Black Jeopardy."
SNLbrought back its "Close Encounter" sketch series, with alien abductee Colleen Rafferty (Kate McKinnon) introducing her mother, played by Meryl Streep. Pedro Pascal and Woody Harrelson joined in as fellow alien encounterers, trying to convince the Pentagon officials (Aidy Bryant and Jon Hamm).
SNL's viral Domingo sketch came full circle with one hell of a cast, including Short n' Sweetsinger Sabrina Carpenter.
SNLbrought back its Black Jeopardysketch with a star-studded throwback featuring Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Jones, Kenan Thompson, Chris Rock, and Tom Hanks.
Kristen Wiig's canine-toothed character Dooneese rode again alongside Will Ferrell, Scarlett Johansson, Kim Kardashian, and Ana Gasteyer. There was a Kardashian percussion moment.
Molly Shannon's iconic '90s/'00s SNLcharacter Sally O’Malley returned to the stage, joining Emma Stone to present a history of SNL's physical comedy — but first they needed to "KICK, STRETCH, and KICK!"
Anxiety? A banger? Only Andy Samberg and Bowen Yang could make it happen.
SNLlegend Laraine Newman took a stroll through Studio 8H with Pete Davidson's recurring idiot character Chad. There was nudity.
"Weekend Update" hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che ran through the segment's history with special guest appearances including Seth Meyers, Bill Murray, Cecily Strong, Bobby Moynihan, and more. But one notable favourite was missing.
In a mashup purely for SNLfans, "Bronx Beat" met "Coffee Talk" as Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Mike Myers declared it "sweater weather."
If you love Broadway but prefer it intact, avoid this chaotic musical segment. Everyone else, come with us, Pete Davidson, David Spade, and John Mulaney through a star-studded tale of New York City.
Ayo Edebiri, Drew Barrymore, Robert De Niro, and Jimmy Fallon's plans to celebrate SNL50were foiled by Rachel Dratch's iconic character Debbie Downer. But you know who hates home truths? De Niro.
A piece of shit car, this is not. Adam Sandler's SNL50th anniversary song was a moving moment dedicated to its cast.
