Saturday Night Live turned 50 this year. The iconic sketch comedy show celebrated its 50 years with the SNL50 anniversary special, a star-studded extravaganza. The special featured hysterical comedy routines kicked off by host Steve Martin, who gave an amazing monologue.

Martin was joined by John Mulaney and of course, his long-time collaborator and companion Martin Short. Sir Paul McCartney, Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter serenaded the audience with heartfelt renditions of hit songs. All in all, the SNL50 anniversary special was glamorous, unforgettable, and hilarious.

One of the performances at the SNL50 anniversary special that made everyone gasp for air was Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte's skit. It was funny and awkward, and what made it funnier was the reaction of the people around.

Jenna Ortega and Kevin Costner found themselves stuck in a crossfire between Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte. As the two comedy legends stood over the two stars delivering an impeccable performance, Ortega and Costner looked like they wished they had stayed home.

The sheer cringe on their faces was so strong that it made everyone watching on TV equally uncomfortable. Call it an unfortunate situation or top-notch acting, but either way, it gave the internet an unforgettable side-splitting moment.
