Ryan Reynolds Steals the Spotlight at SNL’s 50th Anniversary
Alright, let's talk about the absolute spectacle that was Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special. This wasn’t just any celebration—it was a full-on star-studded extravaganza. The night was packed with legendary comedians, iconic actors, and surprise cameos that had fans buzzing. But one unexpected moment that stole the show? Ryan Reynolds.
Now, if there’s one thing Ryan Reynolds is known for—aside from his sharp wit, blockbuster hits, and charming good looks—it’s his ability to drop a perfectly timed, deadpan joke. And he did just that when he casually stood up during a Q&A segment with former Weekend Update anchors Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. The setup was simple—they spotted him in the audience and asked how he was doing. And in classic Reynolds fashion, he hit back with, “Great, why? What have you heard?” The delivery was so perfect that the entire room burst into laughter.

But Reynolds wasn’t alone—his wife, Blake Lively, was right there next to him. And while their appearance was already a highlight, there was an extra layer of intrigue. The two have been at the center of media attention lately due to behind-the-scenes drama surrounding It Ends With Us , the upcoming film adaptation starring Lively. The tension between them and the film’s director and co-star has been making headlines, so the timing of their lighthearted moment at SNL was chef’s kiss perfect.
Beyond Reynolds’ hilarious cameo, the night was a nostalgic rollercoaster. Paul McCartney, at 81, closed out the show with an emotional rendition of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End . Steve Martin, one of SNL’s most iconic hosts, delivered the opening monologue with his usual sharp humor. And the legendary Jack Nicholson, who rarely makes public appearances these days, introduced Adam Sandler for a musical tribute to past cast members—including the late, great Chris Farley and Norm Macdonald.
The night was packed with memorable sketches too. Will Ferrell brought back his Robert Goulet impression, Eddie Murphy revived an old Tracy Morgan bit, and even Meryl Streep joined in on a ridiculous alien abduction skit. Oh, and let’s not forget the “In Memoriam” segment—or should I say, the fake one—where Tom Hanks paid tribute to SNL sketches that aged horribly . Let’s just say, some old bits wouldn’t exactly fly in 2025.
But through all the nostalgia, comedy, and musical performances, Ryan Reynolds proved once again that sometimes, just one perfectly timed joke can be the most talked-about moment of the night. And honestly? That’s exactly why we love him.
