Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Saturday Night Live: 40th Anniversary Special (2015)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Writer Jim Downey had conceived of Nick the Lounge Singer singing the theme to Jaws back in the 1970s but never pulled it off during Bill Murray's tenure on SNL. It finally happened because NBC had acquired the rights to Jaws when it bought Universal Pictures in 2002, so they asked director Steven Spielberg, who was in attendance.
- Eddie Murphy was originally asked to play Bill Cosby in the special's "Celebrity Jeopardy!" sketch, but he declined the part.
- Nora Dunn was asked to take part in the musical medley as Liz Sweeney but refused, because the other Sweeney Sister, Jan Hooks, had died.
