The special 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live does not happen until Sunday night, live at 8 pm ET/17:00 PT and NBC and Peacock, but the holidays began early on Friday, only on time to show SNL some They want on the day of the Wine U.

Along with Recently released spectacular documentary series, looking at the history of "SNL", Peacock broadcast live at SNL 50: The Returning Concert ", an event with a live star in New York at Radio City Music Hall on February 14. Not only did the special event collect some of the biggest music acts from the five-decade history of the late-night comedy series, from Cher to Lady Gaga to Jackec White and more, but some of the show's actresses who make music bits-not to mention An amazing string of celebrities just have a good time looking at the lining of eclectic music.

If that is not enough to convince you to include Peacock now for the first time in months, then here are five damn good reasons to include "SNL 50: The Home Return Concert" right now.

Yes, it cannot be said that one of the best reasons to watch "SNL 50: The concert for returning home" is music, but you really do not know how amazing this concert is. First of all, the roots served as a house band, playing with a variety of performers throughout the evening and reminding you of how talented Questlove (in case someone forgets). But these are the collaborations among the artists who made the night incredible.

Miley Cyrus teamed up with Brittany Howard from Alabama shakes on the cover of "Crazy Little Work Called Loveubov", Bad Bani brought some Porto Riccan's fle At Tom Patty's "The Watching" and Jellel Roll covered the two classics of Johnoni Cash before joining Snoop Dogg for his transfer to "Last Dance with Mary Janeain". Plus, Arcade Fire, David Byrne and St. Vincent Everyone gathered with the jazz -saving gym for exciting performances by David Bowie's "heroes" and Arcade Free's "awakening" to a great effect.

But that's not all! Not even close! You have to see how the crowd will lose your mind when the Backstreet boys appear to perform "I love that", including very excited Heidi Gardner. Of course, Brian Litrell's voice was pretty rude, and he was tricky Jerry Seinfeld to sing part of the choir, but the energy for that performance was through the roof. Plus, legends like Bonnie Rayt and Cher have proven that they still have what is needed to reduce the huge scene like Radio City Music Hall. The B-52 and Devo received little help from SNL, Fred Armisen as their drummer, with the former bringing in Sarah Sherman and Bowen Young for a bit of action Bang Bang during the "Loveube Cottage".

There is even Nirvana's unification with a turnaround, as drummer Dave Groll and bassist and co-founder Krist Novoselic (looking like the father of your friend who won the match) came out on stage to play "smell like a teenage spirit". But who was the main singer? No one other than Post Malone, who joined the group under the ingenious simple name of the post Nirvana.

These are not all the songs or music acts that performed during the three -hour event. Believe me when I say there is something for everyone.

One of Bill Murray's most famous characters of his time in SNL is Nick Salon Singer, a second -city character, known for his Jazz for famous songs such as the theme of "Starwalks War". Murray repeated like the character nine times through his escape to "SNL", not to mention performances during the 25th and 40th anniversary Special for SNL. But even if he does not return to the 50th anniversary, he got his time to shine on "SNL 50: Concert to return home".

Starting around the 21:55th of the event, Murray presented a full name of the character, Nick Valentin, maintaining a little life of the character that is constantly changing his surname, allowing for an stunning banter between him and the accompaniment of piano secured by Paul Schafer. "We are here on the day of the Wine," Nick said. "I promise you, that's just a coincidence - the day doesn't bear the name after me. February 14th was the day of the Wine Utensens for many years, probably before I was born, I think it is probably longer. "

Nick then struck a little, as he tends to do, revealing that there are three beautiful women in life, brought by former SNL members, Maya Rudolph, Cecili Strong and Anna Gasteyer on the stage of Marvin Guy and Tami Terrell "" You are all I have to reach. " While Murray's voice is funny cute for this kind of gig, Kudos must be given to Rudolph, strong and gas for some truly beautiful harmonies among them. You wouldn't know that they were better known as comedians than singers. It was funny and wonderful at once.

Whenever Tracey Morgan appears, you know it will be an explosion. No, the "30 Rock" star is not known for his musical exploits in the show, but that did not prevent him from feeling disrespected because he was not invited to dedicate a song to Lorn Michaels. As he used to do Morgan several times at SNL, he had some electoral words that he pointed directly to the creator of SNL and the show -show in the crowd:

"You respected me, b ****! It's a night of great music and no one has asked me to sing. Well, now I got the microphone and I would sing. I don't care what Lorn Michaels think. He will be dead for one Sunday ".

It should be noted that Michaels fired throughout this little, which begins around the 40:14 mark of the event. Morgan, with a drink and a cigarette in his hand, continued to explain how he tried to sing on the special 50th anniversary so he could show Michaels how much he wanted. Morgan recalls: "He said:" I don't even know you! Go Park Tina (Jay) car. " It's disrespectful! He thought I was Tina's driver, which is funny because everyone knows Tina to her young and Dominican drivers. "

While you might think it was the perfect opportunity for Tracy Morgan's Dominican Lou, Morgan instead chose to sing "his hit", at what point he treated everyone in performance of Thematic song from the re -sketch "Asons Asons".

How do you follow the unification of Lorin Hill and Wickliff Jeanan? Will Ferrell and Anna Gastier took the scene together like Marty and Bobby-Mohan Culp, cheerful, tighter music teachers performing Medley on popular songs that were polar contrary to their stage faces. They returned a little about 1 hour and 14 minutes for a funny performance during "SNL 50: Return Concert", "Made a mix of songs like" Work B **** " is the denial of Rivera, "good luck, baby of Chapel Roan", "Sam Smith and Kim Petraas" "reluctantly" and "body" of Megan TEE stadium.

A pretty shocking moment came when he covered "Not like us" by Kendrick Lamar, which prompted Ferrell (like Marty) to call the quarrel between the performer at halftime at the Super Bowl in 2025 and the artist of hip-Hop Drake. "By the way, maybe you can both hug him on behalf of Loveube and socializing tonight. No? Not in hell. The message is received. "

However, perhaps the funniest part of the whole of little came after Marty and Bobby turned to their vision of weight loss after looking directly at solar eclipse. Marty noticed: "We have pretty significant floors right now, but it doesn't prevent us from looking at so many medium toes spicy and in the Upper Mezzanine and Orchestra section. It's just incredibly harsh. We're talking about you, Meryl Streep. We see you."

When the camera drops to Meryl Streep, well, let's say you won't be disappointed.

There was a great performance that took the cake. Well, in any case, manoly cakes.

The lonely island received its own massive Medley, which has bundles of some of the most famous songs of their digital short SNL reign in the show. The rise of the trio of Andy Samberg, Akiva Shafer and Ormormor Tacone (which appears as a dancing cup holding a laser cat) is currently being told The fun and insightful "lonely island and podcast on Seth Meyers". And for anyone who is a fan of their false rats, this was a real treatment.

The full performance is available above, starting with Andy Samberg to join Lady Gaga for the shameful performance of Avella's "shallow". Fortunately, Lady Gaga interrupted and changes her in the classic "D *** in the box", though Justinatin Timberlake could not be there to join. Therefore, they move to "Lubovnik Mother" before Chris Parell joins Samberg on the "Lazy Week" stage and from there, just getting better.

Tacone brings the laser cat into the dark interruption of the "lazy week", which has a fatal shot at the stage. This is a call for "shooting aka dear sister" SNL Digital ShortWhere Imogen Hip's song "Hide and Search" is repeatedly played after Andy Samberg, was Fader, Shia Labeuf, Kristen Wiig and shoot more in a parody of a dramatic scene than OK.

Therefore, the bad bunny is making an opera version of "I just had sex", T-pain sings a ballad remix of "I'm on the boat", and Eddie Weder takes Michael Bolton's place to sing on a small pirate ship for Jackack Sparrow. All songs are combined in a Lady Gaga marathon, dressed in a special gift.

When all this is said and done, the song ends with a perfect return call to the SNL Digital Short as a picture of Lorn Michaels fades into the Canadian flag waving behind everyone.

The fact that all this happened before the proper special "SNL 50" is a real treatment for hardcore fans like me, and I hope you take the time to enjoy it.
