SNL 50 Bloopers, "Cut For Time" Sketches Help With Post-Season Blues
NBC's Saturday Night Live released Season 50 bloopers and "Cut For Time" finale sketches to help SNL fans deal with their post-season blues.
Maybe NBC's Saturday Night Live realized that a whole ton of SNL fans were suffering from the post-Season 50 blues, realizing that it's a long road between now and when the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series returns this fall. To help us process, SNL released a compilation of some choice bloopers from the recently wrapped milestone season. In addition, we were also treated to two "Cut For Time" sketches. In "Graduation Day," dental students (Scarlett Johansson, Bowen Yang, Sarah Sherman & Michael Longfellow) take a special "oath" during their special day. In "Weekend Update: Twins Bridgette and Paula Powers on Why Americans Should Move to Australia" (whew!), Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman portray twins and social media sensations Bridgette and Paula Powers, who tried to pitch Americans on moving to Australia.

Since its inception in 1975, the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. SNL makes headlines with topical humor reflecting politics and current events, features an array of characters with an unparalleled perspective on pop culture, and offers sharp political commentary through its signature "Weekend Update" segment. A variety show that is truly one of a kind, SNL also attracts the biggest stars of music to its stage for innovative viral performances.
The long-running late-night live sketch comedy and music series, which premiered Oct. 11, 1975, broadcasts live from NBC's famed Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center. Broadway Video, in association with SNL Studios, produces the program, which is executive-produced by Lorne Michaels.
