SNL40: When Comedy Took To The Carpet

While Generalissimo Francisco Franco may still be dead, Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary celebrations saw a downpour of comedy, celebrities and Justin Timberlake (we don’t really mind). The guest list for the evening had Bradley Cooper making out with the 90-year old Betty White, Jimmy Fallon bromancing Justin Timberlake, Zach Galifianakis in a Sia wig, and Eddie Murphy making an SNL comeback after 30 long years.
While we celebrated the victory lap, we also bookmarked some of the noteworthy looks of the evening.
