The second season of HBO's zombie drama The Last of Us premieres in just a couple of weeks, on Sunday, April 13. After the hugely successful first season, which was quite possibly the best video game adaptation in history, hype is sky-high. And now, info about the premiere episode is leaking out. According to screenshots of HBO's schedule posted on The Last of Us subreddit, the season 2 premiere is entitled "Future Days." It will run for an hour and feature "Adult Language," "Adult Content" and "Violence."

Interestingly, when I actually go to the HBO schedule to try and confirm this, all I see is a blank spot where information on the season 2 premiere should be:

Eddie Vedder and Stephen Marley have shared new covers of two Neil Young classics from Harvest for an upcoming tribute album benefitting the Bridge School.

While “Rockin’ in the Free World” has become a Pearl Jam live staple, for his contribution, Vedder covered “The Needle and The Damage Done,” Young’s devastating 1972 song about heroin addiction. The Pearl Jam frontman plays the cover pretty straight (not that that’s a bad thing), with just acoustic guitar accompaniment and a vocal performance that’s distinctly reminiscent of Young’s soft, quivering tenor.

A cover of Neil Young’s “The Needle and the Damage Done” by Eddie Vedder has been released as the latest single from the upcoming compilation album Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young Volume I, arriving today along with a cover of “Old Man” by Stephen Marley.

Vedder’s take on “The Needle and the Damage Done” conveys the hard-earned wisdom of the 1972 composition, and showcases the Pearl Jam singer’s signature gravelly baritone. It also isn’t the first time he’s sung the song — Pearl Jam first covered it in 1995, and it’s appeared a few times in their setlists since then. In 2009, Vedder dedicated a rendition of it to Michael Jackson, two months after the pop star’s death.

As for Marley’s cover of “Old Man,” it augments the rootsy sound of the original with a easy-flowing reggae vibe, with the pièce de résistance being the warm,...

Jack White and Bill Murray randomly found themselves seated next to each other during a baseball game in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18th.

As White recounted on Instagram, they both attended the first game of the Tokyo Series featuring the Chicago Cubs against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Adding to the coincidence, Cubs superfan Eddie Vedder had just gifted White a vintage jersey before the game.

In the caption of a photo gallery, White gushed: “You know what it’s like when you go to see an MLB game between the Cubs and the Dodgers in Tokyo, Japan wearing a game worn Cubs jersey from the year you were born (’75) with your favorite number on it that Eddie Vedder gifted you before the game and you walk to your seat and realize that Bill Murray is by the randomness of the universe sitting next to you to watch that game.

Tokyo, Japan is the place to be at the moment, and not just became the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs are in town to kick off the 2025 MLB Season with the Tokyo Series. Jack White is also playing a pair of shows in the city over the weekend.

As an avid baseball fan, White no doubt lined up those gigs so that he could attend the Tokyo Series. It appears fellow rock legend and Chicago Cubs super fan Eddie Vedder made similar travel plans, as he, too, is in Tokyo and happened to make a surprise appearance during White’s concert on Saturday. Together, the two teamed up for a rip-roaring cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World’,” a staple of Pearl Jam’s live show that White himself also recently played at SNL50.

Jack White’s fans at his show at Toyosu Pit in Tokyo on Saturday were treated to a surprise performance by Eddie Vedder.

During White’s encore, which included the White Stripes songs “Hypnotize” and “Seven Nation Army,” White launched into Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” with his band. White delivered the first verse before the Pearl Jam frontman surprised fans when he sauntered on the stage to join in during the first chorus. At one point during the performance, Vedder freestyled with lyrics that included “There’s only one Jack White.

Eddie Vedder is bringing his love for Seattle and San Diego to Major League Baseball! On Friday, MLB announced that the Mariners and Padres will compete for the Vedder Cup every year, and will partner with the rockstar’s charity to support Epidermolysis Bullosa research.

Just four days after his surprise reunion with R.E.M. at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, Michael Stipe performed at the annual Tibet House benefit at New York’s Carnegie Hall on a packed bill that also included Patti Smith, Jackson Browne, Laurie Anderson, Gogol Bordello, Orville Peck, Allison Russell, the Philip Glass Ensemble, Angélique Kidjo, and Tenzin Choegyal.

Stipe delivered stunning renditions of David Bowie’s 1970 classic “The Man Who Sold the World” and “No Time for Love Like Now,” which he co-wrote with the National’s Aaron Dessner...

When reality is stranger than fiction, Hollywood takes notice - these films prove it.

I caught “Last Breath” in theaters this weekend, and wow - what a ride. Beautifully shot, intense, and suspenseful - and incredibly, it’s all based on a true story. It follows a deep-sea diver who gets stranded 300 feet below the ocean with only minutes of air left… and the rescue mission to try and save his life. After the movie, I got to thinking about other great scripted movies that have associated documentaries. There are some incredible films out there that take real-life stories and turn them into gripping, cinematic experiences. So, here are my top 7 favorite scripted movies inspired by true-story documentaries.

Top 7 scripted movies inspired by documentaries

No. 7: ‘Into the Wild’

No. 6: ‘The Fighter’

No. 5: ‘Lords of Dogtown’

No. 4: ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’

No. 3: ‘The Walk

No. 2: ‘Foxcatcher’

SNL50: The Anniversary Special, itself the climax of weeks of celebratory documentaries and live specials celebrating Saturday Night Live, was brought to a rock and roll close by Paul McCartney, who performed a Beatles medley including “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight,” and “The End.” That final song might have been a direct nod to one of McCartney’s most famous appearances on SNL, opposite Chris Farley.

In the February 13th, 1993 episode of SNL, McCartney was the show’s musical guest but also made an appearance on “The Chris Farley Show” (one of the most relatable sketches ever produced if you’ve ever interviewed a celebrity). In the sketch, an awkward Farley asks McCartney a series of awkward questions, ending with a query about the lyrics from the song “The End”: “‘In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.’ Is that true?”

If you thought all the big musical SNL50 moments had already happened at the Radio City Music Hall Homecoming Concert on Friday, were you wrong. The proper Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special kicked off with the iconic Paul Simon duetting with Sabrina Carpenter on Simon & Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound.” Watch the performance below.

Simon noted he’d last song the song on SNL with George Harrison in 1976. “I was not born then,” joked Carpenter. “And neither were my parents.”

Simon may largely be retired from live performances, but it makes sense that he’d pick up the guitar for SNL50. He’s a close friend of creator Lorne Michaels, and has served as musical guest 13 times in addition to hosting on four occasions. Pairing him with a Carpenter, who performed on SNL last spring, shows how the 50th anniversary special seeks to celebrate the...

Live from New York, it’s … Sunday night?!

Saturday Night Live, NBC’s perennial late-night sketch comedy series, usually airs on Saturdays (hence its name), but the highly anticipated SNL50: The Anniversary Special is asking viewers to stick around an extra day. Read on for everything to know about the must-see event that’s five decades in the making.

When is the SNL50 anniversary special?

The three-hour show will air live on Sunday, Feb. 16 beginning at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt. That airdate is approximately 49 and a half years since the Saturday Night Live pilot originally debuted on Oct. 11, 1975.

The 50th anniversary special of "Saturday Night Live" doesn't happen until Sunday night, live at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt on both NBC and Peacock, but the festivities kicked off early on Friday, just in time to show "SNL" some love on Valentine's Day.

Along with the recently released spectacular documentary series looking back at the history of "SNL," Peacock aired a livestream of "SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert," a star-studded event that unfolded live in New York City at Radio City Music Hall on February 14. Not only did the special event bring together some of the biggest musical acts from the five-decade history of the late night sketch comedy series, from Cher to Lady Gaga to Jack White and more, but it featured some of the show's cast members doing musical bits -- not to mention a stunning array of celebrities just having a good time watching the eclectic music line-up.

Kicking off with a tribute to the Blues Brothers from the evening’s host Jimmy Fallon, last night’s “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” pulled out all the stops in celebrating the show’s rich musical history, as well as the influence music has had on its comedy. And though Fallon made sure to start the affair at Radio City Music Hall by pointing out that everyone in the room had some form of connection to “Saturday Night Live” and were not there as casual spectators, watching at home, its clear the production worked hard to place fans of the staple variety series right at the the center of the action as well.

The first singer of the evening was Miley Cyrus. After a rendition of Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” accompanied by The Roots (they served as the house band for the evening) and Brittany Howard, Cyrus gave...

“Saturday Night Live” is known for making audiences laugh for the past 50 years, but it is not complete without the iconic live music performances that have cemented their own place in pop culture.

“SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” brought together over 25 artists who made a mark on the sketch show live from Radio City Music Hall. The concert event features musical guests spanning the series’ half-century on the air.

Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Snoop Dogg and The B-52s, among many others, performed live during the homecoming concert, while “SNL” alum Jimmy Fallon hosted, featuring his own late night show’s band, The Roots.

In late January, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson helmed a documentary, “Ladies & Gentlemen … 50 Years of SNL Music,” that sifted through the archives of the show’s musical history. The NBC documentary featured several artists that took the stage at Radio City for the in-person anniversary special.

For more details...

Saturday Night Live weekend is officially in full swing, with the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert kicking off in epic fashion at Radio City Music Hall. Let’s check out some highlights!

Taking hosting duties for this start to SNL50 was Jimmy Fallon, who served as a cast member from 1998 to 2004. But Fallon went back much further than that, opening the show with an homage to The Blues Brothers, the suited up dudes played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd who first debuted on SNL in 1976.

Another musical throwback came soon after in the form of Nick the Lounge Singer, as reprised by Bill Murray. Other SNL recurring characters who popped in for a musical number were Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer’s The Culps, who did a medley of modern hits, including one by recent Super Bowl halftime performer Kendrick Lamar.

Heading into “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” it was clear that the event was going to be a celebration of all things “Saturday Night Live.” After all, it’s right there in the concert’s name. What’s more surprising is how Peacock’s Friday night concert morphed into a joyous love letter to live TV itself.

Between the scope of its performances, the truly remarkable camerawork and the confidence of an endless roster of comedians who professionally perform live, the concert captured the edge-of-a-knife feeling “SNL” has always elicited while also blowing that feeling up to its most extreme and lavish form.

The performance itself belonged to Lorne Michaels and The Roots, both of whom received so many shoutouts and thank yous, it feels silly to even keep count. But inside the room, the insider audience fought between wanting to go all out and trying to keep its cool...

NBC celebrated Saturday Night Live on Friday night with over three hours of music history on SNL50: The Homecoming Concert. The special hosted by Emmy winner Jimmy Fallon streamed live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City and is now available to stream on Peacock.

Musical acts included Arcade Fire, Backstreet Boys, Bad Bunny, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Cher, Chris Martin, Dave Grohl, David Byrne, Devo, Eddie Vedder, Jack White, Jelly Roll, Lady Gaga, Lauryn Hill, Miley Cyrus, Mumford & Sons, Post Malone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Robyn, Snoop Dogg, St. Vincent, the B-52s, the Roots, and Wyclef Jean. Surprise comedy musical performances included Bill Murray, Paul Shaffer, Andy Samberg, Chris Parnell, Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, and Tracy Morgan.

But that doesn’t end the festivities. Sunday night’s SNL50: The Anniversary Special will switch over from mostly music to almost...

The SNL 50: Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall Friday was one of the starriest and genre-bending concerts in recent history.

The concert, which took place ahead of the show’s big three-hour anniversary special Sunday, saw performances from Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus, Cher, Lady Gaga (who took took part in a musical sketch with Lonely Island and returned with a performance of “Shallow”), Nirvana, led by Post Malone, Backstreet Boys, Snoop Dog, Lauryn Hill and Wyclef, David Byrne, Arcade Fire and St. Vincent, Eddie Vedder, Devo, The White Stripes and more.

The artists who performed had a connection to SNL, as did the invite-only crowd, which was made up of those who had worked at the late night sketch show or had a connection to someone who had.

Jimmy Fallon hosted the night, kicking it off with an energetic performance honoring the Blues Brothers. But before he took the stage,...

Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer revived their Saturday Night Live music teacher duo the Culps during the SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert, with “Marty and Bobbi” delivering a medley of pop hits that included a take on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

“It’s actually Valentine’s Day. So we invite you all to snuggle under a musical blanket of sensual funk and some mad fresh beats that slap,” Gasteyer’s Bobbi told the star-studded Radio City Music Hall audience. “No cap.”

“Are Kenny Lamar and Drake Graham in the house?...

A star-studded crowd gathered to celebrate the legacy of the iconic comedy and musical series Saturday Night Live. As part of the 50th anniversary of the show, SNL50: The Homecoming Concert saw many familiar faces from the last 50 years of the series' history both watching and performing at the event, which was hosted by Jimmy Fallon. As the night kicked off, however, no one expected to see Oscar-winner Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson storm out of the auditorium after Fallon explained that the night would not include any awards presentations. Fallon said:

“Apparently, there’s been some confusion. This is just a concert. We’re not giving out any awards tonight. So, I just want to make sure that everyone knows that.”

At that point, Hanks and his wife stood up out of their seats and stomped up the central aisle and out of the venue. Of course,...

The surviving members of Nirvana once again reunited — this time with Post Malone — at the all-star Saturday Night Live 50 concert Friday at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

Introduced by Adam Sandler, who reminisced about when Kurt Cobain and company played SNL when he was a cast member, “Post Nirvana,” — Malone, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear — roared through a rendition of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” during the show.

The latest sorta Nirvana reunion came two weeks...

John Mulaney may have spoken best to the mostly wonderful randomness of the lineup for Friday night’s live “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” special when, late in the show, he invoked the memory of “Saturday Night Live’s” much-missed music guru, Hal Willner. The comedian spoke about how the seminal figure in “SNL” music history would have loved many of the acts on the bill if he were still around. “He also would have hated parts of tonight, and I would have loved to talk with him about the parts he hated,” Mulaney added.

Truth be told, there wasn’t much of the nearly three-and-a-half-hour Peacock telecast that would have counted as a hate-watch for the average open-minded viewer, with the vast majority of the multiple-generation-spanning artists acquitting themselves. There were no train wrecks, although Bill Murray’s seemingly improvised schtick and a messy Post Malone/Nirvana crossover episode fell short of expectations.

Jason Momoa and Adria Arjona walk the purple carpet together while attending the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert held at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night (February 14) in New York City.

The couple, who have been dating for almost a year, marked their first red carpet appearance together at the big concert event!

Also making their red carpet debut was Miley Cyrus and her beau of three years, Maxx Morando, as they were also joined by her mom Tish Cyrus-Purcell.

What could be a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than to honor the music of “Saturday Night Live”? It might not be the first thing that springs to mind on what’s supposed to be a romantic weekend for lovers of all kinds, but “SNL” and its multiple 50th-anniversary specials have a way of taking over the weekend. Tonight’s party: “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” a star-studded concert extravaganza equipped with many of the musical guests that have performed on the famed stage of Studio 8H for the past five decades.

Kicking the festivities off on Peacock’s live special direct from New York City’s Radio City Music Hall was the master of ceremonies and longtime 30 Rockefeller Plaza resident and “SNL” alum, Jimmy Fallon. Opening the show by singing the Blues Brothers classic cover, “Soul Man,” Fallon was flanked by backup dancers dressed in their best...

Saturday Night Live is celebrating 50 years and got together a group of stars to commemorate the milestone. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were among the celebrities who attended SNL50: The Homecoming Concert and participated in a funny bit.

During the concert special, host Jimmy Fallon clarified that the three-hour show would only present musical guests and not hand out awards.

“Apparently, there’s been some confusion,” Fallon said. “This is just a concert. We’re not giving out any awards tonight. So, I just want to make sure that everyone knows that.”

As Fallon clarified the show’s purpose, Hanks and Wilson were seen in the background exiting Radio City Music Hall, causing laughter among the audience.

Watch the funny bit in the video below.

SNL’s 50th anniversary concert became a dance party once again when Robyn took the stage with David Byrne to perform “Dancing On My Own.”

The pair wore matching dark khaki suits (fitting slightly better than Byrne’s usual style) and danced exuberantly with the crowd bouncing along — the kind of performance that definitely required wireless mics.

After “Dancing On My Own,” which Robyn first performed on Saturday Night Live on December 10th, 2011, the pair segued to The Talking Heads’ “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody).” Byrne has made frequent appearances on SNL over the years: by himself, as a member of The Talking Heads, and as a special guest during John Mulaney’s “Airport Sushi” sketch.

The SNL50 concert also featured performances from Nirvana with Post Malone, Jack White, Miley Cyrus, Eddie Vedder, Fugees, The B-52s and Devo, plus Lady Gaga sang “Dick in the Box.”

Robyn...

In one of the most unforgettable moments of Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, Nirvana’s surviving members—Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear—reunited to perform “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” with devoted Nirvana superfan Post Malone on lead vocals.

The surprise performance at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Friday night (February 14th) was introduced by SNL alum Adam Sandler, who exclaimed, “Ladies and gentlemen, Post Nirvana!”

Malone has been known to deliver impressive covers of Nirvana songs, and he certainly did not disappoint at the SNL50 concert, offering up a thrilling version of the game-changing “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and garnering a huge hug from Grohl at the end of the performance.

The SNL gig marked the second surprise Nirvana reunion within a few weeks, and Grohl, Novoselic, and Smear were joined by Joan Jett, St. Vincent, Kim Gordon,...

Lady Gaga delivered a performance that was fitting for Saturday Night Live’s “Homecoming Concert,” a special musical event in celebration of the show’s 50th anniversary.

While some audience members at Radio City Music Hall in New York might have expected the star to sing one of her recently released singles, she kicked things off with none other than Andy Samberg himself in a wig and cowboy hat. The former cast member attempted to sub-in for Bradley Cooper for a cover of “Shallow,” the hit track from Gaga and...

“Stuart? What are you doing here?”

The familiar phrase was heard again amid the SNL50 celebration as Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Fred Armisen reunited to reprise their roles from The Californians.

The trio was part of a commercial for Volkswagen, which sponsored the specials celebrating Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary.

During the commercial breaks for SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, commercials featuring some of the iconic characters of SNL’s history played.

The Californians was a recurring sketch on NBC’s late-night comedy show that mocked the California accent in a soap opera setting.

Wiig, Hader, and Armisen formed a love triangle in the series of sketches that featured the characters naming all the streets and freeways around the Los Angeles area.

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen pulled double duty during the first half of the SNL50 concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Friday night (February 14th). The funnyman played drums for a pair of legendary new wave bands: The B-52s and Devo.

First up, Armisen teamed up with the B-52s for a rousing rendition of “Love Shack,” joining the Roots in backing founding B-52s members Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson.

Midway into the tune, current SNL cast members Sarah Sherman and Bowen Yang appeared onstage, engaging in the “bang, bang, bang” call-and-response portion of the song.

Just a short time later, Armisen manned the kit as Devo took the stage for “Uncontrollable Urge.” The comedian kept a steady beat as singer Mark Mothersbaugh and company ripped through the tune that apparently earns the vocalist...

Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer reprised their iconic roles as Marty and Bobbi Mohan-Culp during the “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” Friday.

The old married music teachers even sung Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” Gasteyer’s Bobbi chimed out the backing vocals in an opertatic tune, as Ferrell’s Marty rapped the verse. Both comedians went back and forth singing “A minor” trying to find the key, as SNL alum Leslie Jones filmed from the crowd.

The couple also educated the crowd on how to keep married life alive and well, singing Donna Summer’s “Love to Love You Babe” to one another.

It takes a lot for the Fugees to show up to a concert, let alone on time. But Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean appeared as scheduled for SNL50 on Friday night, where they ran through a four-song set that included performances of “Lost Ones,” “Ex-Factor,” “911,” and “Killing Me Softly.” The duo were backed by the legendary Roots crew.

The SNL50 concert also featured performances from Nirvana with Post Malone, Jack White, Miley Cyrus, Eddie Vedder, Robyn and David Byrne, The B-52s and Devo, plus Lady Gaga sang “Dick in the Box”

In one of the night’s standout moments, the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary concert paid tribute to the legacy of The Lonely Island with an epic medley celebrating some of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer’s greatest contributions to SNL, kicking off first with Lady Gaga’s rendition of “Dick in a Box.”

Well, first Samberg attempted a cover of “Shallow” from A Star Is Born (complete with Jackson Maine wig) before Gaga shut him down. Then, since Justin Timberlake wasn’t around, she offered to sing “Dick in a Box” in his place.

After a bit, though, Chris Parnell entered the scene to duet with Samberg on “Lazy Sunday,” which then led to Bad Bunny performing “I Just Had Sex,” Eddie Vedder subbing in for Michael Bolton on “Captain Jack Sparrow,” and T-Pain reprising his feature on “I’m On a Boat.”

The whole thing culminated...

The Backstreet Boys just delivered a live rendition of their 1999 hit “I Want It That Way” with a little help from … Jerry Seinfeld?!

The one-of-a-kind performance took place during the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Friday night. Original boyband members Aj McLean, Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, and Brian Littrell performed for a packed house including former Saturday Night Live cast members, hosts, and musical guests.

Near the end of “I Want It That Way,” Littrell ran into the A-list audience and stuck his microphone in front of Seinfeld’s face. To the surprise of many, the 70-year-old comedian started singing the lyrics along with Littrell — and yes, Seinfeld even appeared to know all of the words.

Many of the former SNL stars in the crowd...

Eddie Vedder was one of the early performers at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, but he certainly made his mark with an unforgettable two-song set featuring a cover of Tom Petty’s “The Waiting” and a nod to Elvis Costello’s infamous “Radio Radio” moment on SNL.

The Pearl Jam frontman opened with “The Waiting,” a tribute that doubled as an in memoriam for SNL legends lost over the years, including Gilda Radner, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, and John Belushi.

From there, Vedder paid homage to Costello’s iconic 1977 SNL performance, in which Costello abruptly stopped playing “Less Than Zero” and instead launched into “Radio Radio”. Vedder recreated the moment before tearing into a blistering rendition of Pearl Jam’s “Corduroy.”

The SNL50 concert also featured performances from Nirvana with Post Malone, Jack White, Miley Cyrus, Robyn and David Byrne, Fugees, The B-52s and Devo,...

Tracy Morgan took the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert stage and jokingly called out Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels for not letting him sing.

The comedian appeared during Friday’s show at Radio City Music Hall and said Michaels had disrespected him.

“Is everyone having a good time?” Morgan asked the audience, who largely cheered, adding, “Well, I’m not!”

“I’ve been disrespected!” he continued. “Lorne Michaels, you have disrespected me b*tch!”

The camera panned over to Michaels as he laughed at Morgan’s joke.

“It’s a night of great music, and nobody asked me to sing — nobody!” Morgan said. “Dis-res-pect!”

Morgan took advantage of the microphone and took the opportunity to honor the audience with his voice.

How do you possibly follow Miley Cyrus and Bad Bunny during the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert? With a classic sketch character.

SNL alum Bill Murray graced the stage Friday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City as he reprised his smooth-talking character Nick the Lounge Singer (aka Nick Valentine) from the NBC sketch comedy show, accompanied by Paul Shaffer on piano.

Following a humorous monologue about “an increasing acceptance of different types of families, different types of relationships,” before introducing “three of the most beautiful ladies a man could ever hope to meet.”

Murray, who created the character during his 1977-1980 run as an SNL castmember, was then joined by fellow alums Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph and Cecily Strong in ’60s chic backup singer attire, accompanying him with a performance of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s “You’re All I Need to Get By.”

Following the performance,...

Jimmy Fallon had the honor to kick things off at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert in celebration of NBC’s late-night sketch show.

Fallon took the Radio City Music Hall stage Friday alongside The Roots to pay tribute to The Blues Brothers, the sketch starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd that inspired the 1980 film and a sequel in 1998 titled Blues Brothers 2000.

Following the performance, Fallon revealed he was “out of breath” and thanked the “collection of talent” who attended the homage.

“I thought this was sweet. Where you’re seated is based on how much Lorne [Michaels] loves you,” Fallon joked.

Fallon continued, “I was so honored when the assistant to Lorne’s assistant, asked me to host tonight.”

The Tonight Show host then took a jab at himself, answering why he was hosting the special, saying, “Well, it’s award season, which means I got nothing going on right now.

Miley Cyrus kicked off Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert at Radio City Music Hall on Friday with a two-song performance, including a tribute to Queen.

Teaming up with Brittany Howard, Cyrus covered Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” in a nod to the band’s final public performance in North America before Freddie Mercury’s passing, which took place on SNL in 1982.

She then followed up with her solo hit “Flowers,” dedicating the performance to SNL founder Lorne Michaels.

The SNL50 concert also featured performances from Nirvana with Post Malone, Jack White, Eddie Vedder, Robyn and David Byrne, Fugees, The B-52s and Devo, plus Lady Gaga sang “Dick in the Box”
