Saturday Night Live is coming back for its 50th season this fall. The first episode this season will start on Saturday, September 28th.
I'm up for some nolstagia. Are you? Imagine if Chevy Chase and the whole Griswald family (Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Randy Quaid) did a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation skit during the holiday episode.
That would be hilarious!

The actors will play iconic figures from Saturday Night Live history. Directed by Jason Reitman, Saturday Night chronicles the hectic behind-the-scenes story of how the first ever Saturday Night Live broadcast made it to air in 1975, and it's set to feature actor portrayals of comedians like Chevy Chase (Cory Michael Smith), Dan Aykroyd (Dylan O'Brien), John Belushi (Matt Wood), Gilda Radner (Ella Hunt), and the other entertainers and executives, including Lorne Michaels (Gabrielle LaBelle), who made the show possible.
One way the show’s new season is bigger than the rest is that there’s a biopic film about the creation of the very first SNL episode hitting theaters on October 11, and there’s a 50th-anniversary special, which will be live and run three hours, airing on NBC on Sunday, February 16, 2025.
Creator Lorne Michaels has promised that SNL‘s 50th season will be a big one: “The 50th will be a big event. We’ll bring everyone back from all 50 years and hosts and all of that. It will be a very emotional and very strong thing."
Can't wait to laugh and relive those nostalgic feelings!
