Saturday Night Live Shares a Look Back at What "SNL 50" Had to Offer

Wasting little time after the season finale, NBC's Saturday Night Live shared a compilation of the best that SNL 50 had to offer us.


As we continue to deal with our post-Season 50 finale blues, NBC's Saturday Night Live has been doing its part to help SNL fans process. For this go-around, we're getting a look at some of the funniest and hardest-hitting moments from the milestone season. It's also serving as a reminder that we're going to be dropping our Season 50 show ranking this weekend (cheap plug) – though we think we have a pretty good idea who this season's "Jacob Elordi" will be…

In addition to a look at Season 50 bloopers, we were also treated to two "Cut For Time" sketches earlier this week. In "Graduation Day," dental students (Scarlett Johansson, Bowen Yang, Sarah Sherman & Michael Longfellow) take a special "oath" during their special day. In "Weekend Update: Twins Bridgette and Paula Powers on Why Americans Should Move to Australia" (whew!), Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman portray twins and social media sensations Bridgette and Paula Powers, who tried to pitch Americans on moving to Australia. You can check out the Season 50 bloopers and SNL's two "Cut For Time" sketches waiting for you below:

Since its inception in 1975, the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. SNL makes headlines with topical humor reflecting politics and current events, features an array of characters with an unparalleled perspective on pop culture, and offers sharp political commentary through its signature "Weekend Update" segment. A variety show that is truly one of a kind, SNL also attracts the biggest stars of music to its stage for innovative viral performances.

The long-running late-night live sketch comedy and music series, which premiered Oct. 11, 1975, broadcasts live from NBC's famed Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center. Broadway Video, in association with SNL Studios, produces the program, which is executive-produced by Lorne Michaels.
