For the 50th anniversary special of SNL, current “Weekend Update” hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che took us on a journey through the segment’s history — including appearances from some of its regulars over the years.
The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation with at a Party (Cecily Strong)! Drunk Uncle (Bobby Moynihan)!
Previous “Weekend Update” anchor Seth Meyers sat behind the desk again to interview Fred Armisen and Vanessa Bayer as Lorne’s Best Friends from Growing Up (SNL creator and producer Lorne Michaels). Plus, Bill Murray made an appearance to rank his favourite “Weekend Update” anchors of all time
But let’s talk about the elephant in the room — where’s Bill Hader’s Stefon? The iconic SNL cast member and all-time highlight of Weekend Update was notably missing from the lineup of cameos and guests at the special, reportedly declining to appear. He did reunite with fellow alumni Kristen Wiig and Armisen to bring back “The Californians,” for a sponsored sketch released for the special in advance.
But we miss Stefon! How are we going to know which clubs to visit in 2025?
