We're mere days away from SNL50: The Anniversary Special.

How to Watch

Watch Saturday Night Live Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and Peacock, streaming next day on Peacock.

The highly anticipated, star-studded event takes place next weekend, on Sunday, February 16. The special will fete a half-century worth of sketches, cast members, Hosts, and other collaborators, in what will surely be a historic and hilarious evening.

While SNL50: The Anniversary Special is the ultimate Saturday Night Live reunion, the celebrations have been in full swing since late December, when 50 Seasons in 50 Days kicked off, presenting one sketch a day that represents an entire season of SNL. Selected by the people who make the trial-blazing sketch series, you can watch them all here.

Both the four-part docuseries Beyond Saturday Night and the documentary Ladies & Gentleman ... 50 Years of SNL Musicco-directed by Oz Rodriguez and Questlove, debuted in January and are available to stream on Peacock now.

No.

On February 8, NBC will be re-airing the November 16 episode where Charli XCX pulled double duty as both Host and Musical Guest. This marked the "Apple" singer's first time hosting, but third turn as Musical Guest.

In the episode, Charli starred in a sequel to Ariana Grande's "Domingo" bridesmaids sketch, and showed her range with impressions of Adele, and her friend Troye Sivan. She also exchanged some brutal insults with the Please Don't Destroy boys, and appeared in a musical digital short with Andy Samberg.

The 2025 Grammy winner also slayed the stage with performances of her Brat tracks, "360" and "Sympathy Is a Knife."
