Rock Hall Opens Major SNL Music Exhibit Celebrating 50 Years

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame opened a major exhibit titled "SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of Music," celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live" and its rich musical history. The immersive exhibit replicates Studio 8H, the show's original New York studio, and features more than 70 pieces including costumes, instruments, call sheets, and video clips from over 1,900 musical guests and iconic comedy sketches. Highlights include Mark Mothersbaugh's yellow jumpsuit from Devo's debut, Debbie Harry’s jumpsuit from Blondie's first performance, and costumes worn by cast members like Fred Armisen and Will Ferrell. The exhibit balances the show's musical and comedic elements, showcasing both legendary performances and music-infused comedy. Developed in collaboration with NBC and the SNL team, the exhibit provides exclusive and rarely seen content, and will be on display for about a year, inviting visitors to explore the intersection of music and comedy that defines SNL. Rock Hall president Greg Harris encourages fans and families to visit during this special road trip season to experience the evolving exhibits.
