Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Paul McCartney, Eddie Murphy and Alec Baldwin were just some of the stars at "SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration" which aired live from New York, of course.

The special had everything you would expect from a "Saturday Night Live" 50th anniversary celebration, including dozens of guests, classic characters, and powerful musical performances. The post ‘SNL 50’ recap: Best moments from the 50th anniversary of ‘Saturday Night Live’ appeared first on Boston.

Here are some of the cast members who did not attend the 50th-anniversary special: Bill Hader was most notably not present at the anniversary, citing a scheduling conflict. Despite not being at the anniversary show, Hader recently reunited with his SNL castmates, Kristin Wiig and Fred Armisen, for a Volkswagen commercial.
