It’s becoming an ever more popular trend for big music festivals to have a comedy portion.

The Kaaboo in Del Mar, CA (just north of San Diego) is just doing that with a pretty fantastic, star studded comedy line-up. They’ve even recruited the delightful Taylor Williamson to put together a local comedy showcase.

If you’re in, around, or near Del Mar, you shouldn’t miss this. Get more details and tickets here.

The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special was the gigantic, nostalgic whirlwind of a walk down Studio 8H that we were led to believe it was.

Cast members, hosts, writers, etc. from the show in 1975 until now were in attendance to pay homage to SNL not only as a show, but a cultural institution.

There was a big ol’ musical revue kicked off by Martin Short and Maya Rudolph as Beyonce, Weekend Update anchored by Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Jane Curtin, a touching In Memoriam tribute (that also has a pretty great burn at the end), and rare glimpses into auditions of SNL cast members as well as some folks that should have been cast members like Stephen Colbert.

Also, SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy lived once more, complete with Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery and Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds, and was every bit as glorious during its run in the late 90’s through the 2000s.

It should come as no surprise that this special scored a record 23 million viewers from last night (via Variety) and will probably have millions watching several of the clips over at Hulu and YouTube.

With all of the reminiscing of seasons past, it’s perfect timing on SNL’s part to push their SNL app that gives access to thousands of clips from the past 40 seasons.

If you didn’t catch the special last night, hopefully you’ll have today off to catch up.

(via Deadline)

Weeks ago, Saturday Night Live lost its legendary announcer Don Pardo when he passed away at the age of 96.

To replace him, former SNL cast member Darrell Hammond has been appointed to the position. If you watched Hammond’s time at SNL at all, you know this is a perfect replacement.
