NBC’s months-long celebration honoring the 50th anniversary of “Saturday Night Live” is nearing its climax. The network hosted numerous celebrities at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night for “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” which serves as a prelude to the weekend, culminating in the 50th anniversary special airing on NBC, fittingly, on Sunday evening.

A number of famous faces were spotted at Radio City Music Hall on Friday evening. The guest list included Tom Hanks, Jason Momoa, Peyton Manning, Josh Gad, Ray Romano, Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, Judd Apatow, Jack McBrayer, Willie Geist, Al Roker, Phil Rosenthal, Savannah Guthrie, Jerry Seinfeld, Lester Holt, Keegan-Michael Key, Billy Crystal, Jim Gaffigan, Woody Harrelson, Natasha Lyonne, James Franco, and Jon Hamm. Notably, former “SNL” cast members were also present, such as Adam Sandler, John Mulaney, Molly Shannon, Kevin Nealon, Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers, and Punkie Johnson. Even the head of “SNL”, Lorne Michaels, was seen hurrying through the lobby before the show began.

At a live-streamed concert, Martin Short and Meryl Streep were spotted sitting together. In the shot, Paul Rudd, Kevin Bacon, and Kyra Sedgwick were also visible. Donna Langley, who has recently expanded her position to chairperson of NBCUniversal Entertainment and Studios, was also present in the audience.
