Galileo908 Sunday at 10:56 PM Share Sunday at 10:56 PM Quote The award-winning sketch show celebrates its groundbreaking 50th anniversary live from New York, featuring musical performances, former cast members, special guests, and all-time favorite sketches. Airs 2/16/25 The channel guide, and SNL itself, counts this as an episode in season 50, so there obviously should be a thread about it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151927-s50e13-snl50-the-anniversary-special/
