Celebrating 50 Years of Saturday Night Live: A Star-Studded Reunion Beyond Cast Members.
The momentous occasion of the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special attracted former cast members and iconic hosts to the historic venue of 30 Rockefeller Plaza on February 16. This event was not just a celebration of the show?s legacy; it was also a unique opportunity for stars to reunite with their ex-partners in a nostalgic atmosphere filled with laughter and memories.
For example, Pete Davidson made a grand entrance shortly after his former girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, who he dated from November 2021 to August 2022, walked the red carpet. Additionally, SNL veteran Fred Armisen found himself in the company of his ex-girlfriend Natasha Lyonne, creating a rich tapestry of past relationships at this landmark event.

Even though Fred and Natasha ended their relationship in 2022 after seven years together, he has since married Riki Lindhome. However, he retains a fondness for his former romance with the Orange is the New Black star, indicative of the deep connections formed during their time together.
Reflecting on their relationship, Fred shared, “That ended well and we’re still friends. It made me feel like it was part of getting older that I could approach being in a relationship in a different way.” He expressed on the Fail Better podcast last July, adding, “I can look back at that relationship with a sort of peaceful happiness, and that’s how it was.” His sentiments resonate with many who cherish the memories of past romances while moving forward in life.
