Every Season 50 host and musical guest
Peacock numbers the anniversary special as Season 50, Episode 13. That is why the regular episode after the January 25 broadcast is listed as Episode 14, even though it was the 13th regular episode of the season.

What happened to Episode 13?
Episode 13 was not a conventional weekly broadcast. SNL50: The Anniversary Special aired live on February 16, 2025, between the January 25 and March 1 regular episodes. It was a three-hour celebration featuring a large group of returning performers and guests rather than one host paired with one musical guest.
Peacock lists the special as Season 50, Episode 13. For that reason, the next regular broadcast appears as Season 50, Episode 14 in streaming listings. It should not be mistaken for a missing episode.
Season 50 credit and spelling notes
- The performer’s official styling is Mk.gee, including the period.
- The correct spelling is Dave Chappelle, not “Dave Chapelle.”
- Elton John and Brandi Carlile are both credited as the musical guests for the April 5 episode hosted by Jack Black.
Peacock’s Season 50 guide provides the episode credits, while the anniversary special is cataloged separately in the service’s episode listing.
