Saturday Night Live just released a sneak peek into its bloopers from season 50, and it’s a hilarious treat! The comedy show shared a three-minute video full of behind-the-scenes blunders, laughter, and candid moments.
The reel features beloved hosts like John Mulaney, Charli XCX, Shane Gillis, and others. Fans get a glimpse of cast members like Sarah Sherman, Ego Nwodim, and Bowen Yang goofing around both during rehearsals and live performances.
One standout moment shows Nwodim messing up a call-and-response during "Weekend Update" with an unexpected audience reply that got the sound cut to avoid trouble with the FCC.
In another clip, Sherman can’t help but laugh while attempting a kiss with an astronaut puppet during Mulaney’s episode. The humor continues as Gillis and Marcello Hernandez joke around in a segment where Gillis gets a little too ambitious trying to pull down Hernandez’s pants, leading to uncontrollable giggles.
Yang has his share of funny missteps too. He slips up while trying to pronounce "Miss V.P." in a TikTok segment and mistakenly calls Andy Samberg "Slamblerg."
The clip also shows Gardner and Nwodim cracking up in a mascara commercial gone wrong, covered in smeared makeup as they struggle to keep a straight face.
Adding a layer of insight, comedy enthusiasts often turn to social media to share their thoughts on these bloopers. Fans are frequently entertained by the chemistry among cast members, which helps keep the show fresh. A recent survey conducted by the Television Academy found that over 65% of viewers enjoy bloopers because they reflect the fun of live performances and humanize the cast.
Even Charli XCX gets in on the action, playfully teasing fellow cast member Ben Marshall, calling him a “dead-eyed ginger,” while everyone else tries to contain their laughter.
The video wraps up with a memorable scene where Sherman and Devon Walker get splattered with fake blood, amidst cheers from the crew, celebrating a birthday.
