NBC and Peacock tonight are airing a three-hour special Saturday Night Live Show for its 50th birthday. It starts at 8:00 pm ET and 5:00 pm PT. "Its stars are calling the "greatest reunion show" in TV history." The "red carpet" starts at 7 pm ET.

There will be a slew of SNL "alums".Paul McCartney is the musical guest, and Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter and others will perform.

If you missed the “Ladies and Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music" show, it was pretty awesome. Here is a list of the musical guests it featured. It is still streaming on Peacock.

Long live SNL, with special thanks to Lorne Michaels.

This is an open thread for all things related to TV, movies, streaming and the like. (I just put up another open thread for politics).

And this time it won't be above freezing until next Sunday.

I'm prepared to not be able to leave my house for a week.
Last time it melted in a couple of days. Not this time.

Wed and Thurs will be the coldest days so far.

I'm ready for spring.

not used to this much snow. We just got 4 or more inches after getting snow 2 weeks ago and then it also snowed in December. In GA we usually only got snow every couple of years. Hubby is getting cabin fever bad though it is supposed to be 62 on Tuesday.

It's worse north and south of us. 8-12 was predicted we got maybe 2.
They plowed my street so I could go out but I could not get up my driveway and have park on the street and walk up a big hill.
I'm fine. For a few more days. I've been rewatching Ozark

I watched the entire show last night. (5.00 / 1) (#4)

It was pretty good. I was expecting a rehash or clips of old bits. But it was a completely new show. Picking out faces in the audience was fun.

than the "Paul, the cute Beatle" you first heard sing "Love Me, Do." Likewise, Paul Simon, who is not only suffering an aging voice but also sadly losing his hearing.
