1. Push in of Bobby Moynihan at you’re cordially invited carpet premiere event.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Bobby Moynihan, actor/comedian – on favorite SNL sketches:
“But I mean, like David Pumpkins always comes to mind as just like, the weirdest thing we ever got on. And like, I love the idea of future generations trying to figure it out as well. So, I’ll say that.

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Bobby Moynihan, actor/comedian – on favorite SNL sketches:
"There’s a really odd sketch. I don’t think it’s like a big famous sketch or anything, but it’s Fred Armisen and John Malkovich and they they are adult men, but they play little kids who are really hoping that they got calculators for Christmas and then they do get calculators. And it’s the weirdest–it’s one of my favorite SNL sketches in the world, but not a lot of people love it. There’s also another one called Time Traveling, Scott Joplin, about tennis. Yeah, it’s insane. It’s a tennis talk show. It’s insane. A lot of amazing, weird sketches I like.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Fred Armisen, actor/comedian – on favorite sketches
“There’s a Wizard of Oz, one that we did that actually John Mulaney wrote, where there’s like a new there’s this new footage of Wizard of Oz, of a character that got cut out of a movie, and it’s a weathervane and something about it. I just I really love that sketch.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) John Mulaney, actor/comedian – on ‘All In: Comedy About Love’:
"The Toilet Death Ejector. Also known as Dignity Toilet, written by myself and Simon Rich and Merika Sawyer, as well as a sketch called Monkey Judge by Simon Rich and myself. Those are two quality Simon Rich premises executed. Look at this guy right here. It’s AP news.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Laraine Newman, actor:
“I remember seeing there was a horrible reality show called ‘The Swan’ where they did this massive plastic surgery on people. And I think they did a parody of that with Amy Poehler and a bunch of other people. And I it was the first time I’d seen her and I was like, ‘My God, this girl is so good.’ And so, you know, ‘The Swan’ parody really stuck out for me. But as far as our show, I think that this one sketch called Plato’s Cave or the Beatnik sketch, is, I think, a really good representation of our show. And it’s the whole cast. And Steve Martin’s the host. It’s a great sketch.“

Push in of Seth Meyers posing

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Seth Meyers, Television Host, Comedian on favorite sketches: or sketches that should be in a time capsule:
“Cowbell… I think of you, you know what I mean? Like, there’s. It’s hard to imagine. I think, like, I think cowbell would work if English was your, like, 10th language. And. I might do that. I think that’s a safe pick. It’s you know, it’s like it’s Will Ferrell at the height of his powers. It’s a Christopher – it’s an all-time host Christopher Walken doing a thing that only Christopher Walken could do. Certainly, if I have to pick from the last a lot of the last 12 months, the the (Nate) Bargatze (George) Washington sketch is perfect comedy writing."
STORYLINE:

"SNL 50: The Anniversary Special" will air live for 3 hours on NBC and Peacock Sunday.
