Before Betting On Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live is one of the great American institutes, with millions tuning into NBC to watch the comedy program throughout its legendary run. The show’s history started in 1975, and it has been directed by some pioneers in comedy such as Dave Wilson, Paul Miller, and Don Roy King. The comedy sketches typically make up some of the most memorable moments in the show, with comedians typically poking fun at cultural issues, whether that is politics or any other issue.

 SNL has aired for five decades, and has been a mainstay in its primetime slot. Such has been its success that it has won a vast number of accolades throughout history, including 85 PrimeTime Emmys, three Peabody Awards, and it was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2000.

A number of cast members have hosted the show throughout its run, and the majority currently dominate the betting to host the 50th anniversary. Will Ferrell would be a popular selection to host the anniversary show, as he has hosted the event on five previous occasions.

However, Bill Murray would seem a fitting choice, hosting SNL on five occasions between March 1981 and February 1999.  Andy Samberg could be an outside chance after previously hosting SNL in 2014, while others that could be worth considering in the betting include Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig.
