AceShowbiz - Celebrities packed the 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York, NY, on Sunday night, February 15 not only because it's the headquarters of NBC but also because it's where the "Saturday Night Live" 40th anniversary special took place. From comedians to TV anchors and singers to actors, all joined in for the star-studded celebration.
Keeping the laughs flowing since the beginning, best pals Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon goofed around on the red carpet where they were joined by Billy Crystal. Former cast member Jason Sudeikis and actress wife Olivia Wilde also made funny faces on the red carpet, while the current players including Kenan Thompson, Taran Killam, Sasheer Zamata, Pete Davidson and Kate McKinnon took a selfie together.
