Featured review
Watched this again for the second time before deciding to delete. It was very enjoyable looking back at most of the musical guests that appeared on "SNL" during the past 50 years though I was a little disappointed that most of the acts that were booked by Dick Ebersol when he was in charge were limited to the beginning montage. Still, he was also there when the punk rock band Fear appeared which was done to entice former cast member John Belushi to do a cameo that night. That resulted in perhaps the most chaotic of performances when unruly fans came on stage causing Ebersol to tell director Dave Wilson to fade to black. Also glad to finally see Eddie Murphy agreeing to do these specials of his former showcase talking about when Prince first appeared or when he and Joe Piscopo, who also appeared, did their version of "Ebony and Ivory" with Murphy as Stevie Wonder and Piscopo as Frank Sinatra. Also, nice reminiscence from Jimmy Fallon when he did Mick Jagger in front of him for a mirror bit. In summary, I highly enjoyed "Ladies & Gentlemen...50 Years of SNL Music.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLorne Michaels comments on the Sinéad O'Connor incident where she rips a picture of Pope John Paul II. 'There was a part of me that just admired the bravery of what she'd done. And also the absolute sincerity of it.' And yet the following week host Joe Pesci had the photo taped back together and said during the opening monologue 'There was an incident on the show last week. Sinéad O'Connor tore up a picture of the Pope. And I thought that was wrong. So I asked somebody to paste it back together.' He then holds up the reconstructed picture and the audience applauded.. 'I think that's a lot better, thank you.' He goes on to say 'but I'll tell you one thing she's very lucky it wasn't my show. 'Cause if it was my show I woulda gave her such a smack!' Again the audience laughed and applauded wildly 'I woulda grabbed her by her ... eyebrows'.
