NY Post
Live from New York, it’s Sunday night.
“Saturday Night Live” is having a 50th anniversary special airing on a rare Sunday night (Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. on NBC and Peacock).
Called “SNL50: The Anniversary Special,” the three-hour live telecast from Studio 8H will celebrate the sketch comedy’s show’s half-centennial on the air. It will include appearances from past cast members such as Adam Sandler, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, Chevy Chase, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, Jane Curtin and more.
Longtime “SNL” production designer Keith Raywood, who has been with “SNL” for 40 seasons since 1985, told The Post about his unexpected biggest task for the special.
“We [will] have about 450 people in the studio, which is essentially about 200 people more than we would normally have.”
This number is for the audience, since it will be full of the special guests’ friends and family.
