AceShowbiz - Beloved former "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) star Kate McKinnon has expressed her eagerness to return to the show for its landmark 50th season, which premiered this past weekend. "I'd love to come back," she declared on the "Today" show.

Season 50 of SNL featured a star-studded premiere with host Jean Smart, musical guest Jelly Roll, and appearances by Maya Rudolph, Dana Carvey, and Andy Samberg. The episode also saw the debut of Jason Reitman's "SNL" origin story movie, "Saturday Night".

In a playful response to a recent SNL sketch mocking them, Spirit Halloween tweeted, "We are great at raising things back from the dead @nbcsnl," accompanied by a picture of a fake Halloween costume resembling the store's actual offerings. The costume, labeled "SNL 50: The Anniversary Season," was described as "an irrelevant 50-year-old TV show" with "dated references" and "shrinking ratings."

The SNL sketch in question featured employees of Spirit Halloween touting their ability to bring life to vacant buildings and provide communities with "wigs that give you a rash" and "famous character costumes tweaked just enough to avoid a lawsuit."

Additionally, Maya Rudolph returned to SNL's stage to reprise her Emmy-winning role as Vice President Kamala Harris in a hilarious skit. Dana Carvey also made his triumphant return as President Joe Biden, while Andy Samberg played Harris's husband, Douglas Emhoff.
