Pedro Pascal will be joining in on the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary celebrations. The Chilean-American actor will appear on SNL 50: The Anniversary Special later this month with Bad Bunny and many other previous hosts and musical guests.
Saturday Night Live originally debuted on NBC on Oct. 11, 1975. To mark the iconic comedy show’s 50th anniversary, many specials about its history have come out. Last month, the celebrations kicked off with the documentaries SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night and Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music.
Now many past hosts and musical guests will come together for SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, which will air on NBC and stream on Peacock on Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. EST.
Pascal will be a part of the star-studded line-up for “The Anniversary Special.” He hosted the show for the first time in 2023 when British band Coldplay were the musical guest. Pascal then had a cameo appearance later that year in the episode that was hosted by Bad Bunny. He memorably reprised his role of Claudia Flores from the “Protective Mom” skit with the “DtMF” hit-maker also dressed in drag. Now Pascal will return to Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center for the three-hour special.
In addition to Pedro Pascal, SNL 50: The Anniversary Special will also include appearances from Bad Bunny, Adam Driver, Dave Chappelle, John Mulaney, Kim Kardashian, Martin Short, Tom Hanks, Woody Harrelson, and Miley Cyrus. The line-up is rounded out by Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Peyton Manning, Quinta Brunson, Robert De Niro, Sabrina Carpenter, Scarlett Johansson, and Steve Martin.
Bad Bunny will also perform on the special SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, which will be livestreamed on Feb. 14 on Peacock. Other artists that will hit the stage include Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Arcade Fire, the Backstreet Boys, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and more.
