As Saturday Night Live marks its 50th anniversary, nostalgia is in the air! NBC is set to air a special this Sunday, featuring beloved cast members from both past and present. The show has been a cultural staple since its debut, launching the careers of stars like Chevy Chase and Eddie Murphy.
While opinions on SNL vary, with some fans swearing by its comedic brilliance and others finding it less appealing, the show remains a significant part of late-night television. With the rise of the Internet, fans can now easily access classic sketches on platforms like YouTube, making the show more accessible than ever.
Among the favorites shared by the Ars editorial team are memorable sketches like “Celebrity Hot Tub Party” from Season 9 and the clever “Papyrus” from Season 43, which humorously critiques font snobbery. As SNL continues to entertain audiences, it’s clear that its impact on comedy is undeniable!
