The 50th anniversary celebration for Saturday Night Live was a glittering affair, graced by numerous cherished cast members who came back to honor the moment. Regrettably, the absence of Dan Aykroyd during this SNL event left many viewers puzzled and curious about his non-appearance.
Here’s everything to know about Aykroyd’s absence from SNL’s 50th anniversary.
Why Dan Aykroyd was absent from SNL’s 50th anniversary
Dan Aykroyd won’t be present for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special, which is unexpected considering his status as one of the original cast members. A source close to Aykroyd revealed that he was unable to attend the celebration (as reported by LateNighter).
It’s anticipated that highlights from his early SNL performances might be shown during the broadcast, but the specific cause of his absence is unknown. Unfortunately, this means that Aykroyd won’t be present to complete the gathering of the original “Not Ready for Prime Time Players.” Some fans had hoped for a full reunion of the original cast members, but it seems that won’t materialize now.
On February 16th, the upcoming event promises to shine brightly with A-list celebrities. This gathering will showcase a mix of present and past stars, such as Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Eddie Murphy, and Maya Rudolph, alongside several other noteworthy figures.
I can’t help but notice the absence of Dan Aykroyd and Bill Hader in this anniversary event. Both played crucial roles during the early years of Saturday Night Live, with Aykroyd being part of the original 1975 cast, and Hader gracing our screens from 2006 to 2013. Unfortunately, they’ve chosen not to join us for this special occasion, as reported by Puck News.
Even though Aykroyd and Hader won’t physically attend, the 50th anniversary special promises to be a grand tribute to SNL’s rich history. Notably, it will showcase appearances from esteemed members of the “Five-Timers Club,” such as Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, and Martin Short. Moreover, many other famous figures are expected to participate in this monumental event.
