#OnThisDay , Nov. 1, 2008. Host Ben Affleck, musical guest David Cook. A new character is introduced late into the episode: Stefon, in a rare sketch appearance! He wouldn’t reappear again until April 24, 2010 as an Update correspondent, which is where he would (more or less) stay.

26 years ago, on Feb. 28, 1998, Garth Brooks hosted #SNL for the first of, sadly, only two times. A sketch that probably best illustrates his shocking ease at sketch comedy is “Old French Whore”, written by a fresh new writing room hire named Tina Fey.

12 Years Ago. September 15, 2012. Premiere of S38 with Seth MacFarlane and Frank Ocean. It's the start of Bill Hader's final season and he kicks it off with a late-period classic. Ladies and gentlemen: Anthony Peter Colman and Tony.

A very Happy Birthday to Cecily Strong, seen here committing to one of the most beautifully unhinged performances the SNL stages has ever seen.

The effects and overall post-production work that went into this one was truly insane. Pay your nearly striking editors @nbcsnl . #SNL

48 years ago. April 24, 1976. Lorne Michaels goes on air to ask the Beatles to reform on SNL for the princely sum of $3,000. Paul and John were actually in NYC that night and very nearly came down to the studio as a joke.
