Last night, Adam Driver (STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS) made his SNL hosting debut alongside first-time musical guest Chris Stapleton. In one Disney-inspired sketch, Driver and Cecily Strong sang "A Whole New World" aboard a magic carpet in a less than romantic ride through the sky. Check out all the sketches below!
Other sketches included Republican Debate Cold Open, NFL Playoff Game, Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base, Golden Globes and Porn Doctor.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in DEFIANCE of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on THE ART OF comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past 50 years.
"Saturday Night Live," which premiered October 11, 1975, is broadcast live from NBC's famed Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center. The program is a production of Broadway Video in association with SNL Studios. Lorne Michaels is the executive producer.
