“John Mulaney Drops Bombshell: Only 2 SNL Hosts Have ‘Committed Murder’—Guess Who!”
John Mulaney stunned the audience during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary when he joked that out of 894 hosts, only two have committed murder.
Performing alongside Steve Martin, Mulaney quipped, “It amazes me that only two of them have committed murder.” While he didn’t name names, he was likely referring to OJ Simpson (hosted in 1978) and Robert Blake (hosted in 1982).

Ryan Reynolds’ SNL Joke Takes Aim at Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni Scandal
The SNL 50th Anniversary event took an unexpected turn when Ryan Reynolds playfully referenced the ongoing Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni legal battle during a moment with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
When Fey and Poehler spotted Reynolds in the audience, they asked, “Ryan! How’s it going?” Standing up, Reynolds quipped, “Great! Why, what have you heard?” Lively, seated beside him, looked visibly surprised—though the moment appeared planned.
The joke comes amid serious legal drama. In December, Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and emotional distress.

The unexpected moment had fans buzzing, proving that even at a milestone celebration, SNL wasn’t afraid to address Hollywood’s biggest controversies.
