NBC is gearing up for a star-studded celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live (SNL) with a special anniversary event that promises to be packed with A-listers. Among the celebrities confirmed for the SNL50: The Anniversary Special are Dave Chappelle, Tom Hanks, Kim Kardashian, Adam Driver, Ayo Edebiri, and John Mulaney, to name just a few. Other famous faces include Martin Short, Miley Cyrus, Paul McCartney, Pedro Pascal, Robert De Niro, Sabrina Carpenter, Scarlett Johansson, and many more.

This special event will serve as the grand finale of a series of celebratory moments throughout SNL’s landmark 50th season. Earlier in the fall, NBC aired two-hour specials, A Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving and A Saturday Night Live Christmas, revisiting some of the show’s most beloved holiday sketches. Additionally, a four-part documentary about the iconic show’s history, titled SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, debuted in January on Peacock, while Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music, directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, aired a few days later.

To further commemorate the anniversary, SNL is hosting SNL50: The Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall on February 14, with a livestream available on Peacock. Jimmy Fallon will host this epic concert, which features a diverse lineup of musical talent, including Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Post Malone, The Roots, and more.

Since its creation by Lorne Michaels, SNL has become a cultural touchstone, offering cutting-edge comedy and unforgettable musical performances. The upcoming anniversary special will be a tribute to the show’s enduring legacy.
