From Adam Sandler to Amy Poehler, A-list comedians are hitting the red carpet for SNL 50: The Anniversary Special in New York Feb. 16. See every star arrive.
You can feel the excitement in your funny bones.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, Hollywood stars are hitting the red carpet in New York for SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, a three-hour show livestreaming on Peacock and airing on NBC Feb. 16. The special will honor the best—and most hilarious—moments from the iconic sketch program over the years.
And several A-list comedians were a barrel of laughs as they got the party started on the red carpet, with comedians Tina Fey, Taran Killam, Andrew Dismukes, Sasheer Zamata, Rob Riggle and Jim Gaffigan among the first to arrive.
Several Saturday Night Live alums are also heading back to their old stomping grounds, including Adam Sandler, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, Chris Rock, Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis, Jimmy Fallon, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon, Seth Meyers and Will Ferrell, who are confirmed to attend the event.
But according to Amy, who joined SNL in 2001, even she will be surprised by what creator Lorne Michaels has in store.
“I’m not ready, and I know absolutely nothing. It is typical SNL,” she joked to Today Feb. 10. “Today is Monday, the show is Sunday, so of course nothing’s ready.”
“Maybe there’s a pet turtle that Lorne has told the show to,” Amy quipped. “But no, they are putting together a huge amount of ideas.”
But more than the sketches, she’s ready to reunite with old pals.
“It’s been so awesome to be back and with my class of people,” the 53-year-old added. “I love them dearly and get to work with them a lot, but just being around all the people that I love and grew up with is so exciting.”
Indeed, she isn’t the only one getting in on the action. Former hosts and celeb fans are joining the fun, ranging from musicians including Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus and Sabrina Carpenter to actors including Adam Driver, Ayo Edebiri, Pedro Pascal, Tom Hanks and Woody Harrelson.
And naturally, you can count on Scarlett Johansson to be on hand to support—or troll—her husband Colin Jost, writer and star of the “Weekend Update” segment.
Another celebrity who will be doing amazing on the red carpet? Kim Kardashian, who will also be making her grand return to Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center after hosting SNL in October 2021.
“It was such an amazing experience, like, euphoric,” Kim said on The Kardashians after her gig. “There’s just so many people, like, everywhere and it’s this rush.”
She added, “I’m just so excited that it’s over and I didn’t mess up one time, and I just had fun.”
Of course, it was also the setting of her meet-cute with Pete Davidson, who she dated for nine months until their split in 2022.
“It was a stage kiss, but it was still a little zing,” Kim said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in April 2022. “It wasn’t anything like a super, crazy feeling…A few days later, I was like, ‘Hmm, there is some BDE action.’”
In addition to Kim and Pete reuniting at SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, read on to see more celebrities celebrating the milestone show.
