SNL50: The Anniversary Particular aired this previous Sunday, and to say that it was eventful can be an understatement. Loads of stars have been current in Studio 8H to witness what was arguably one of many largest occasions to hit the 2025 TV schedule so far. The jokes have been definitely flying as effectively, with Colin Jost delivering fairly a zinger of his personal. Jost’s jab centered round imprisoned rapper Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and was delivered throughout a particular version of Weekend Replace, which additionally introduced again veteran host Seth Meyers.
Early within the Weekend Replace section, Colin Jost addressed the very fact that there have been so many well-known previous hosts and musical company in attendance. With that, he addressed that some folks needed to sit within the close by Studio 8G in addition to the Metropolitan Detention Heart in Brooklyn, at which level a photograph of Diddy popped up. After the viewers responded with a wave of “Oh’s,” Jost quipped, “Oh, you went to the events, OK.” You may try the second for your self in addition to the remainder of the section within the video under:
Watch On
For individuals who aren’t conscious, Sean Combs was arrested in September 2024 months after his properties have been raided in connection to a federal investigation into sex-trafficking. He nonetheless stays within the aforementioned facility and is dealing with a number of federal fees in addition to a number of lawsuits. On the identical time, a lot has been mentioned about Diddy’s wild events or “Freak Offs.” As for a way Combs connects to Saturday Evening Reside historical past, he famously carried out on the present, as soon as in 1998 and a second time with Diddy-Soiled Cash in 2010.
The P. Diddy joke was removed from the one notable side of this iteration of Weekend Replace. Seth Meyers’ return was additionally a welcome shock and becoming, contemplating he hosted the present inside a present from 2006 to 2014. Veteran host Invoice Murray additionally returned for a humorous bit that concerned him rating the perfect anchors within the section’s historical past. Murray’s Colin Jost-less High 10 featured his brother, Brian Doyle-Murray at No. 1.
And, if that weren’t all, among the most iconic Weekend Replace company have been readily available to ring within the festivities. One in every of them was Cecily Sturdy’s The Lady You Want You Hadn’t Began A Dialog With At A Occasion, who appeared pregnant (as a result of Sturdy’s real-life being pregnant). It was then hilariously revealed that the daddy of her youngster was the returning Drunk Uncle (performed by Bobby Moynihan). On high of all that, Vanessa Bayer and Fred Armisen returned to play their recurring “greatest buddies” characters, this time showing as childhood pals of Lorne Michaels.
Everybody was truthfully firing on all cylinders right here, and a few A+ stars have been chosen to take part. It was notably apt that Bobby Moynihan appeared, on condition that Colin Jost created and loves Drunk Uncle as a personality. Actually, the one parts that might have made this portion of the particular higher would’ve been an look from Invoice Hader’s Stefon and/or a fast savage joke swap from Jost and Michael Che.
I received’t argue with what followers obtained, although, and everybody deserves a spherical of applause for making this particular Weekend Replace work. As for the Diddy joke particularly, I wouldn’t be shocked if extra jokes are made on the rapper’s expense as his authorized proceedings proceed.
