Rather, let me.
ThroughoutSNL’s birthday bash, most sketches were contained within their own universes.
When the sketch seems to end, suddenly, there’s a surprise.

Another infamous New York-based chat show housewife arrives: Linda Richman.
You know, when the multi-hyphenate’s appearance completely blindsided Myers,Madonna, andRosanne Barr.
And he’s got brothers!

Some of us were too young to have experienced that moment in real time.
Only through reruns on Comedy Central or hitting the repeat button on YouTube.
So this was that moment for us.
It was very meta.
Very unexpected and let’s be honest, being unexpected onSaturday Night Liveis a rarity!
But this sketch was a defining moment of the brilliance of sketch comedy.
SNL50was a celebration of some of entertainment’s biggest comedic geniuses.
This sketch, featuring the smallest amount of alum, was no different.
Watching Poehler and Rudolphs Betty and Jodi interact with Myers Linda Richman hit right into the hearts ofSNLfans.
Even though there was no Barbra moment, the catchphrases were present, and the interaction was seamless.
Plus, having three iconic comedians play in the sandbox was pure joy.Two generations ofSNLtalk shows in one.A mashup!
What could be better?
It was like buttah.
And yes, I was all verklempt.
Original cast memberLaraine Newmangot to experience the single-word uttering Chad experience alongsidePete Davidson.
Hell, even Sally O’Malley played byMollyShannon, finally got to celebrate being 50 alongsideSaturday Night Live!
Sketch comedy is not an easy art.
It’s whySaturday Night Liveconstantly loves to poke fun at itself.
The answer is most definitely yes.
But ladies, if there is a sequel, I do have one request invite Barbra!
She’s like buttah!
SNL50: The Anniversary Specialis available to stream on Peacock.
