I remember watching that Don't Look Back In Anger short at the end of the Best of John Belushi SNL VHS tape I rented when I was obsessed with SNL as a kid. 

I enjoyed this. Loved seeing the old cast come back. I wish Ackroyd and Hader were here for it.

Sabrina Carpenter did a great job in deference to Paul.  I didn't know she had that in her.  She sang well.

Yeah that was good.  I assumed she was picked as the only person who wouldn't tower over Paul?

It reminded me of a bunch of super famous friends getting together and trying to make each other laugh. More of an hang than a structured show. Eddie thank goodness found his fastball for a night. His impression of Tracy Morgan and Scared Straight were the highlights of the sketches. 
 

Did I miss something? Chevy wasn’t on the show at all.

Eddie was the comedy highlight for me.  That fucker is still funny I guess.  Paul McCartney playing Golden Slumbers and the end of Abbey Road was the best part.  I haven’t seen any of his concerts but is that something he plays in concert?  His voice is shot but still that was awesome to hear it live.

The look in Belushi's eyes right before he dances is chilling.  Massive talent.

It was a lot of inside baseball that none of us will understand but I thought the Sandler song was solid. And I know he's an actor but I think he gets legit choked up when he sings about Farley. 

And Paul killed it for the coda.

Random thoughts: 

- I love Garrett Morris. I’m sad I don’t know him from more stuff. Just SNL and Two Broke Girls. What a weird show, 2 actresses that could never ever carry a show and all times greats Garrett Morris and Jennifer Coolidge. 
 

- Chevy was so damn funny on Community. I wish everybody could have played nice for 6 great seasons. 
 

- Everybody is talking about Hader and Aykroyd absences, but where was Kevin Nealon. One of the best Weekend Update hosts.

She sounded like shit in the other skit she was in. Like had me wondering if that was part of the joke, her not being able to sing on key.

I love Martin Short, but I associate him more with SCTV than SNL. Certainly don't mind seeing him, but he had several moments tonight that could have gone to more SNL-centric celebrities. 

Short did 1 season of SCTV and 1 season of SNL, but he did several of his SCTV characters on SNL, which drew much, much more visibility there.

Of all people to miss, Dana Carvey?

This one is the most baffling. That ensemble from the late 80s was my favorite. Hartman, Carvey, Miller on Update, Nealon, Hooks, and Lovitz. 
 

I only noticed a very brief appearance by Lovitz tonight.

That was very enjoyable. Recording cut off after the Belushi bit from the graveyard. Was there something after that? Sir Paul?

There was better, I know, but Sandler’s song brought the feels. The last two minutes were simply perfect. Loved that.

well, i laughed a lot 😄

agree that Murphy was the funniest...dude still absolutely has it 😆

Meryl cracked me up 😂

so Mulaney's crack about only 'two hosts committed murder'...i honestly thought he meant OJ and...Alec Baldwin, who was in the audience and i was like 

Ice Cube Movie GIF

but i guess he meant Robert Blake lol. but that still seems like too close and too soon with Baldwin right there, heh.

as far as singing at their ages...Simon > McCartney. iswis 😐

it was fun checking the audience, kudos to Ryan Reynolds laughing at himself. kind of surprised Timberlake didn't make a showing. 

i enjoyed it. pretty remarkable it's been around 50 years.

I saw the last 10 minutes on YouTube. Paul singing the medley from abbey Road and Martin Short thanking everyone from the first cast. Jane and Chevy were on the stage.

Interesting choice for Miley Cyrus to cover Nothing Compares To You. Obviously SNL took a lot of heat for Sinead’s disaster. But I guess time heals all wounds. 

I thought of this as more of a tribute to Prince. I always enjoyed Fallon's story about Prince making an impromptu performance at the SNL 40th after party.

Well, maybe the boy rape cover-up was the real disaster.

Yeah the arrangement was definitely closer to Prince's version, than Sinead's.  And much as I love Prince's music, I've always preferred Sinead's version of that particular song.

I think that song was absolutely chosen to acknowledge Sinead’s watershed moment on SNL. She lost her career over it basically — and was later proven to have been 100% right.

That's cool.  It was still Prince's version, more than Sinead's.

Agreed it was definitely Prince's version, but C-Man is right. I think that song was chosen for its association with Sinead. That was a HUGE event in the 50 years of the show.

I don't think I saw Darrell Hammond at all, which surprised me.

My favorite sketches:

  1. Scared Straight (Eddie Murphy had this sketch at a 10, then bringing in Will Ferrell? We're not worthy)
  2. Alien Abductees (Tons of guest talent but nobody upstaged anyone else)
  3. Robert Goulet (One of my all time favorite Ferrell characters)

Vedder was in the Saturday night concert, along with many others. Whole thing is on Peacock but a lot of individual stuff is on YouTube.

I think I saw Hammond in the audience, maybe with an eye patch? Audience was fascinating. I couldn't tell if Kevin Costner was annoyed by being in so many shots, or if he was pretending to be annoyed.

I'm a little worried about Tom Hanks. He looks like he drank from the wrong grail about a year or so ago. He's only 68.

Unvaccinated covid and I believe he has long covid on top of that. Aged him like a motherfucker

Brittany Howard was phenomenal.

That performance would have been so much better without Miley Cyrus. 

Brittany Howard is a bad ass - great voice and a really good guitar player.
