NBC's Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th anniversary with a dazzling Homecoming Concert, featuring iconic moments and surprise cameos. The event included performances by Eddie Vedder, Post Malone with Nirvana, Lady Gaga, and The Lonely Island.
NBC's Saturday Night Live kicked off its 50th anniversary weekend with a spectacular show, SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert , setting a high bar for Sunday night's primetime celebration. The event was filled with numerous highlights, including Eddie Vedder 's tribute to famous SNL faces who have passed away and the surviving members of Nirvana (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear) joining forces with Post Malone for a performance of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit.
' Another memorable moment involved Andy Samberg and Lady Gaga. They initially planned a duet of 'Shallow' from Lady Gaga's film, A Star Is Born. However, after some 'tough love' from Lady Gaga, Samberg was encouraged to try something more challenging within his vocal range. 'There is one song, but Justin not here to do his parts,' Samberg realized before Lady Gaga intervened, stating, 'Andy, don't be a b**ch. I'll do it with you.' The duo then launched into The Lonely Island's 'Dick in a Box,' leading to appearances from Vedder, Bad Bunny, Chris Parnell, T-Pain, Lonely Island member Jorma Taccone, and more. This collaborative medley included other iconic Lonely Island hits like 'Motherlover,' 'Lazy Sunday,' 'I'm On a Boat,' 'Jack Sparrow,' and 'Jizz in My Pants.
