Lorne Michaels gets shout-out as he joins Curtain Call
SNL50 was not a normal episode but it did end the same way as every Saturday Night Live for the past 50 years, with a curtain. This time it was supersized with representatives from five decades of SNL casts and musical guests crammed onto the stage of Studio 8H.
Martin Short, a former cast member who has been a host five times, took over the emcee role. He acknowledged original cast members Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin Garrett Morris, and Laraine Newman, while Curtin and Newman held up a picture of their late colleague Gilda Radiner.
