The performance didn’t just astonish the audience—it ignited a wave of enthusiasm online. One social media user shared, “never in my life did I expect to see [him] singing with Nirvana [sic]” and added a heart-eyes emoji to convey their surprise.

Another expressed, “[He] is doing so good in ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ omg [sic]” while others applauded the tribute as “truly spectacular” and the event itself as “fabulous.”
The unforeseen collaboration of the talented Post Malone and Nirvana struck a chord with many, transforming the night into an unforgettable highlight from the milestone celebration.
The buzz continued online, where fans couldn’t stop praising the singer’s performance. One social media user declared, “Post Malone absolutely killed that Nirvana cover” with a fire emoji to emphasize the impact.

Another shared their admiration, “Post Malone stole the show at #SNL50” while others marveled at his versatility, with one commenter wondering, “Is Post Malone becoming the most versatile artist of our generation!?”
While Malone’s performance drew widespread acclaim, not every moment of the event received the same level of praise. Jimmy Fallon, who had the honor of opening the “Homecoming Concert” for the legendary sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” faced a mixed response from viewers.
His performance of “Soul Man” by The Blues Brothers didn’t resonate with everyone. One person described the set as “hard to watch” while another reacted more bluntly, “Wow way to ruin a classic” alongside a crying emoji.
The criticism didn’t stop there. One user questioned the decision to feature Fallon in the first place, “Dan Aykroyd and John’s brother Jim couldn’t make it? Why is Fallon up there?” Others were even more direct in their disapproval, with one stating, “Terrible” and another noting, “Worst part of this great concert.”
Despite the backlash, Fallon also had his share of supporters. Some viewers were thrilled with his energetic performance, with one person calling it “Awesome” and another exclaiming, “This is incredible!!!” A few even applauded his versatility, with one fan stating, “Great job. Jimmy’s so talented!”

The night’s excitement didn’t stop there. Other renowned artists stepped onto the stage to keep the energy high, including Snoop Dogg and Jelly Roll, who delivered a memorable rendition of “Last Dance With Mary Jane.”
Ahead of his performance, Snoop Dogg took to Instagram the day before the event, sharing a post promoting the “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert.”
The “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” brought together unexpected collaborations, unforgettable performances, and a mix of reactions from fans. From Post Malone’s surprise rock moment to Snoop Dogg and Jelly Roll’s standout duet, the night proved that “Saturday Night Live” continues to leave a lasting impression, even after five decades.
