After the broadcast of the 50th Anniversary Special of Saturday Night Live on NBC, they are planning to air the special episode once more. This long-running late-night live comedy series, founded and overseen by Lorne Michaels since 1975, boasts an impressive 50 seasons and nearly 1,000 episodes – quite a remarkable accomplishment. Consequently, they chose to commemorate the show’s 50th anniversary with a three-hour special. Fortunately, for those who missed it, they have another chance to watch it in early June.
On Sunday, June 8th at 7:30-11 p.m. ET/PT, I’ll be excitedly tuning into NBC for a repeat of “SNL50: The Anniversary Special.” This special episode, which originally aired on February 16th on both NBC and Peacock, drew in millions of viewers who couldn’t miss the reunion of Saturday Night Live legends and other celebrities in Studio 8H. The event was a fantastic celebration of SNL’s impressive 50-season run on television!
What The Encore Airing Of SNL50 Means For Saturday Night Live
The Anniversary Special Was A Massive Success
As reported by NBC, the special anniversary episode of SNL, titled “SNL50: The Anniversary Special,” garnered a total of 22 million views across various platforms such as NBC and Peacock. Given its impressive ratings and positive reviews, it’s no wonder that the network is choosing to rebroadcast this show. Those who have already watched the episode may be eager to revisit the popular skits, including “Close Encounters” with Meryl Streep and “Scared Straight” featuring Eddie Murphy’s return. For those who missed the initial airing in February (or don’t subscribe to Peacock), this provides a second opportunity to catch it. This rebroadcast could potentially attract new fans as well.
Moreover, since Saturday Night Live season 50 concluded on Sunday, May 17, NBC might rekindle the SNL atmosphere by airing a rerun of the anniversary special. This special will be broadcasted on June 8. As we wait for the show’s 51st season, fans can enjoy repeats of previous episodes, including “SNL50: The Anniversary Special,” on NBC in the interim.
