"Saturday Night Live," is 50 years old in 2025. This is impressive and tonight there is going to be a big special commemorating the occasion. I know, it is random the special is on a Sunday, but let's just go with it. I run hot and cold on my actual enjoyment of SNL depending on the seasons, casts, and even episode-to-episode can vary in quality drastically. That said, I always will love SNL and its variety-show style that has managed to stay on the air for a shocking amount of time in an era where most shows struggle to get a handful of seasons.
The red carpet introduction to the event is on right now and then the 50th anniversary special proper will start at 8PM Eastern. You can love SNL, hate it, or be indifferent to it. Regardless of how you feel, it has accomplished something special. It has launched so many careers and kept the show's head, Lorne Michaels, busy for quite a while (excluding the brief time he wasn't at the helm). Thank you, SNL, for being there for us. Whether you were great, good, or shockingly bad, you've been quite the mainstay these five decades.
