The Radio City concert comes two days before the official “SNL50: The Anniversary Special,” a three-hour live broadcast show taking place Sunday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET.

There are more exclusive “SNL50” celebrations for Capital One cardholders, including a Harold Square Café event on Feb. 13 with “SNL” alums Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer. The company is also hosting a party before the Radio City concert at Bar 65.
“SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” is produced by Broadway Video. Erin David and Caroline Maroney are also producers, Ken Aymong and Rob Paine serve as supervising producers and Beth McCarthy-Miller is the director.
