【Singapore】

From star-studded cameos to resurrected sketches,Singapore alien abduction stories to a full-circle Domingo moment, SNL's 50th anniversary special was one for the fans.

Aired on NBC on Sunday night after Friday's anniversary concert (and available to stream on Peacock), the three-hour episode featured a colossal amount of former and current cast members and hosts. Sure, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey's audience Q&A took an awkward Ryan Reynolds turn, but the sketches were nostalgic, celebrity-filled, and chaotic.

In no particular order, here are the sketches from SNL50you should watch, from a "Bronx Beat/Coffee Talk" mashup to the revival of "Black Jeopardy."

1. An Oscar-worthy "Close Encounter"

SNLbrought back its "Close Encounter" sketch series, with alien abductee Colleen Rafferty (Kate McKinnon) introducing her mother, played by Meryl Streep. Pedro Pascal and Woody Harrelson joined in as fellow alien encounterers, trying to convince the Pentagon officials (Aidy Bryant and Jon Hamm).
