The Funniest Sketches from Every Guest on the 'SNL' 40th Anniversary Special (Almost)

We don't have to tell you how Saturday Night Live has been America's premiere laugh factory since 1975, week after week churning out some of the funniest, weirdest, most popular and catchphrase-coining sketches to ever appear on network television.

Sunday, February 15, is Saturday Night Live's big 40th-anniversary special. If you haven't already heard, the confirmed lineup includes a slew of former cast alumni as well as celebrities like Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Bill Murray, Amy Poehler, Justin Timberlake, Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Chris Rock, Chevy Chase, Kristen Wiig, and so many more that they had to stretch out the show to three and a half hours.

To celebrate, we locked ourselves in a room and watched hours and hours of classic and contemporary SNL sketches to dig up the funniest (or close-to-funniest) clip of each confirmed guest. That was a couple days ago. When we emerged, malnourished and squinting dumbly at the sun, we learned that more people were still being announced, and getting a clip for everyone on the constantly expanding roster would be near impossible. So here are sketches from everyone confirmed as of 24 hours ago, in no particular order.
