If you’re a cord-cutter, you have a few ways to watch both SNL50: The Homecoming Concert and SNL50: The Anniversary Special online — especially if you want to watch for free. DirecTV Stream has a five-day free trial, while other streaming services — such as Hulu + Live TV — also offer a free trial so you can watch NBC for free.

But fans tuning in Saturday night during the regular time slot can see the show's very first episode, from October 1975 and hosted by George Carlin, beginning at 11:30 p.m. EST/ 8:30 p.m. PST. Music is a huge part of SNL and a mix of global artists are scheduled to make an appearance on SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration.

NBC is celebrating Saturday Night Live's 50-year history with a three-hour prime-time special airing at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday night.

Live from New York, it’s … Sunday night?! Saturday Night Live, NBC’s perennial late-night sketch comedy series, usually airs on Saturdays (hence its name), but the highly anticipated SNL50: The Anniversary Special is asking viewers to stick around an extra day.
