‘SNL50’ Didn’t Shy Away From Controversy, With Kevin Spacey and P. Diddy Jabs
An In Memoriam segment during the SNL 50th Anniversary included some of the sketch comedy show's most poorly aged skits.

In 50 years, a lot of concepts can age poorly. That's been the case for more than one (to say the least) Saturday Night Live sketch. During the 50th Anniversary Special for the sketch comedy show, Tom Hanks hosted a segment that featured some of the sketches that had aged poorly, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the show has stopped their unsavory references altogether. More than once, during the special, even outside the "In Memoriam" segment, there were references to controversial figures in the entertainment industry—and SNL.
