On this day, February 16, 2025, the American comedy variety show Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th season with a three-hour TV special, broadcast on NBC and Peacock. The star-studded episode concluded with Paul McCartney and his band performing a medley of “Golden Slumbers” / “Carry That Weight” / “The End” from The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album.

Though originally scheduled for three hours, the special ran 28 minutes over time. Comedian Martin Short didn’t introduce Paul McCartney until 11:17 p.m.

Paul has a long history with Saturday Night Live, having performed as a musical guest on May 17, 1980, February 13, 1993, December 11, 2010, and December 15, 2012.
