The structure of the anniversary special allows fans from various eras to express what they love about their unique experiences with S.N.L., revealing how different periods hold significance for diverse audience segments, each nostalgic for their version of the beloved show.

"On this episode, eight fans of eight different eras of Saturday Night Live sound off on what makes their favorite era the best in the show's history."
