DVR Alert | Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special

This Sunday night, NBC will air a star-studded special to celebrate 40 years of Saturday Night Live. The list of guests expected to appear on SNL 40th Anniversary Special is insane and includes a number of musicians. We’re also excited to see comedian Eddie Murphy finally return to the show that helped launch his career after more than 30 years. 

While there’s no word on the format for the special, creator/producer Lorne Michaels did tell Hollywood Reporter there would be “more performances” as compared to the 25th Anniversary show from 2000. The musicians on the list of guests expected to appear include Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Arcade Fire, Elvis Costello and Kanye West. Here’s hoping Lorne brings Beck aboard to perform or act with Kanye.

The action starts on Sunday night at 7 p.m. with an hour-long pre-show that will be followed by the special itself, which was recently extended by a half-hour so now will run from 8 p.m. to at least 11:30 p.m.
