To celebrate its 50th season, “SNL” has prepared a special homecoming concert jam-packed with more musical guests than you can count.
“Saturday Night Live” has come a long way since its debut in October 1975 as a rag-tag sketch show trying to make a name for itself amid the political chaos of a presidential resignation and the end of the Vietnam war.
In the 50 years since “Saturday Night Live’s” inception, countless sketches have become common slang, cast members have become mainstream celebrities and the show, a weekly staple for many.
Read on to see who is set to perform at “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” airing on Peacock at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Feb. 14. Peacock is owned by TODAY.com’s parent company, NBCUniversal.
