Saturday Night Live knows how to throw a good party. Pretty much every famous person ever (at least, anyone who has ever appeared on SNL before) was invited to attend SNL’s 40th anniversary special , so it’s no surprise that the after-party was one huge FOMO moment for those observing at home. Jimmy Fallon , a former SNL cast member, had the honor of opening the special and then leading the spontaneous ensemble of performances afterward. Sadly, plebeians couldn’t snag a ticket to the hottest show in town, but Jimmy’s story is almost as good as being there.
