Tonight, “Saturday Night Live” celebrated its 40th anniversary with a special featuring a mammoth list of special guests including Kanye West, Arcade Fire’s Win Butler, Jack White, Justin Timberlake, and many others. (Rumored guest Fiona Apple didn’t appear.)
Some highlights:
– Kanye performed “Jesus Walks” while lying on his back on the stage. He then stood up to perform “Only One” and new song “Wolves” with Sia (in an enormous wig) and Vic Mensa.
– Kanye also was the punchline of several jokes in a “Wayne’s World” sketch. Remember the last time Kanye and Mike Myers were on TV together?:
Apparently, Kanye was wearing some insane contact lenses:
