Bill Murray Shakes Things Up at 'SNL50' – Weekend Update Like Never Before!

Bill Murray's hilarious roast and ranking of Weekend Update anchors at 'SNL50' will leave you laughing!

Bill Murray made a splash during the "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" by stepping back into the iconic "Weekend Update" segment, this time with a twist. The legendary comedian took it upon himself to rank the hosts of this beloved segment, and naturally, hilarity ensued. Murray, with his trademark wit and charm, brought back nostalgia as he highlighted some of his all-time favorite anchors, while poking fun at a few of the less-than-stellar choices. With Colin Jost and Michael Che hosting the current edition, it felt just like old times when Bill strutted back onto the set, bringing a unique mix of laughter and a sprinkle of chaos with him.

In a heartwarming reunion, former cast members including Cecily Strong, Fred Armisen, and Bobby Moynihan returned to add to the laughter, turning the segment into a delightful trip down memory lane. As Murray dished out his list, he disqualified himself from the running, in a classic Murray move that grounded the moment in just the right amount of self-deprecating humor. The chemistry between him, Jost, and Che created a dynamic that brought everyone watching back to those classic SNL nights, filled with sharp satire and unpredictable punchlines.

Colin Jost couldn't resist joining in on the fun, taking a jab at a classic Murray joke about Scarlett Johansson, much to the amusement of the audience. "SNL50" was more than just a celebration of the show's past; it was a reminder of the moments that have kept fans tuning in for decades. With the likes of Drunk Uncle making a reappearance, Murray's ranking served as a perfect backdrop for both nostalgia and a refreshing reminiscence about the funny adults many of us grew up with.

To add a cherry on top, Murray's experience and laid-back style allowed him to not only showcase what made each anchor special but also how they contributed to the culture of comedy. Interestingly, it’s worth noting that "Weekend Update" has remained largely unchanged in format since its inception in 1975, making it one of the most enduring segments on television. Plus, with past anchors like Chevy Chase and Tina Fey paving the way, it’s clear that Bill Murray’s comedic legacy intertwined perfectly with those who came after him, leaving fans both old and new to revel in the laughter and lessons brought forth on this monumental occasion.
