“Saturday Night Live” has booked a bunch of guests for the 50th anniversary live special on Sunday, February 16th.
They include obvious stars like Steve Martin, Paul Simon, and Paul McCartney. Everyone they’ve announced are people who were never in the permanent cast, so expect almost everyone who’s been on the show including Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Tina Fey, and so on. The special will not disappoint.
One odd guest is Kim Kardashian. By reading comments online, no one wants her there.
Others on the list are Adam Driver, Ayo Edebiri, Bad Bunny, Dave Chappelle, John Mulaney, Martin Short, Miley Cyrus, Pedro Pascal, Peyton Manning, Quinta Brunson, Robert De Niro, Sabrina Carpenter, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks and Woody Harrelson.
I’ll be disappointed if Candice Bergen doesn’t make an appearance.
There’s also a sold out show Friday night the 14th at Radio City Music Hall celebrating the show’s music history.
Meantime, “SNL” offered fans a basketball bracket type game to name the show’s all time favorite character. The winner seems to be Bill Hader’s Stefon. Runner up is Chris Farley’s Mike Foley. I would have gone with Gilda Radner’s Roseanne Roseannadana, or Eddie Murphy’s Mister Rogers.
The fans have spoken!
