SNL celebrated its 50th season with a lineup of A-list celebrities. From Jean Smart's triumphant debut to Ariana Grande's viral 'Domingo' sketch, the season was filled with unforgettable moments.
Saturday Night Live recruited a number of Hollywood stars to host episodes of its landmark 50th season. Jean Smart kicked off the season in September, making her SNL debut alongside musical guest Jelly Roll. 'I can’t tell you how honored I am to be hosting the premiere episode of season 50 ,’ the Hacks star said in her opening monologue. ‘It is truly incredible to be here. I haven’t gotten all dressed up and had hundreds of people clap for me in days.
’ She added, ‘I remember watching the very first episode of SNL and thinking, ‘Someday, I’m going to host that show.’ And this was the first Saturday that worked with my schedule, but it’s great to be here in New York.’ Weeks later, Ariana Grande took over as host. While she quickly impressed viewers with a variety of musical skits and an on-camera kiss with Wicked costar Bowen Yang, it was “Domingo” that stole the show. Grande portrayed a bridesmaid in a wedding reception sketch, where she and a group of SNL cast members sang a cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.” In this version, it was about a bride’s hookup with Domingo (Marcello Hernandez) during her bachelorette vacation. “It exploded,” cast member Sarah Sherman said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in late October. “When Ariana Grande did bad singing in blocking rehearsal, everyone was like, ‘Oh, this is funny.’” The “Domingo” sketch subsequently went viral on social media, inspiring a follow-up with November host Charli XCX that reimagined Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go” at the same couple’s baby shower.
