SNL's 40th Anniversary special aired Sunday, February 15th, and there were so many iconic moments from the night, that I couldn't help but dedicate this week's Top 10 Gifs to the show.
10. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin
I am a fan of all things 30 Rock and Tina Fey, so this joke made me so happy, and it was great seeing Tina and Alec-- who have such great chemistry-- together again.
9. Melissa McCarthy Paying Tribute to Chris Farley
Motivational Speaker Matt Foley is one of the most iconic SNL characters, and it was sweet seeing McCarthy paying tribute to the character and to Chris Farley.
8. Jane Curtin on Weekend Update
Curtin was back behind the Update Desk and it didn't take very long for her to make a great joke-- sorry Fox News (but not really).
7. Stefon and Seth on Weekend Update
Our favorite married couple, Stefon and Seth, were back, but it seems as if their marriage isn't going as smooth as it had been.
6. Digital Short "That's When You Break"
If you know me, you know that very few things get me as excited as a new Digital Short, and the 40th Anniversary short did not disappoint, making light of all the times that cast members break on screen. However, my favorite part of the Short had to be when they brought up the insane amount of times that Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz broke on camera.
5. Emma Stone Paying Tribute to Gilda Radner
Emma Stone got to live out her childhood dream of playing Roseanne Roseannadanna, and this proves to all kids who grow up watching SNL that it is possible to realize your dreams. This was one of my favorite moments from the night, as someone who grew up idolizing the show and the cast and characters on it.
4. Bill Murray as Lounge Singer Nick Ocean
Bill Murray singing "The Love Theme From Jaws." Do I need to say anything more?
3. Bradley Cooper and Betty White Kissing
This was definitely a !!!!!!!!! moment for me during the show.
2. Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy
Celebrity Jeopardy is definitely one of the best sketches in SNL History, and I am so glad they brought it back, and I am even gladder that Darrell Hammond reprised his character, the insane Sean Connery.
1. Lorne Michaels
Thank you, Lorne Michaels, for 40 years of laughs and moments to remember. You are the king of comedy.
