Two things on SNL 50th Anniversary made me choke up:

1. Jane Curtain and Larraine Newman holding up a photo of Gilda Radner at the end, so she could be at this event. Their faces were beaming.

2. Paul Simon assisting Garrett Morris stand up at the end.

playing Golden Slumbers live. It was nice to see the old guard there but the old characters they played pulled on my heartstrings. The characters are how we know on SNL.

50 years, one would expect that, but so many were lost early on.

I just noticed that the entire 50-season archive of SNL is available to stream on Peacock. That's nearly 1000 episodes, so those needing a break from politics or a need for some perspective from years past--might peruse those shows.
