It's not the history lesson you expected, but it slaps.

For SNL's 50th anniversary special, Andy Samberg helps an anxious Bowen Yang to see that everyone on the show has had one thing in common over the years: anxiety. THROUGH SONG.

Somehow this sketch manages to be an absolute banger and a neat rundown of Saturday Night Live stars, including Samberg and Yang themselves. I'm gonna play it again.
