The recent episode of the sketch comedy show ‘SNL50’ was the one for pondering and being self-critical. In the episode, Hollywood royalty Tom Hanks deadpanned the opening of what seemed to be an in memoriam segment. Instead of tributes to past cast members, it revisited certain sections and acts from the show that didn’t age well and wouldn’t play well today. The segment was split until numerous subsections for the clips. It included ethnic stereotypes, sexual harassment, underage sexual harassment and a montage of questionable makeup. The three-hour plus episode was filled with scores of celebrities, classic sketches and musical performances. The episode was hosted by Seth Meyers and was produced by LZ Granderson. It was broadcast on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, September 14. For more information, visit NBC.com/SNL and follow @NBCSNL on Twitter and Facebook for updates on the latest episodes of the show.
