Laughter wasn’t the only thing that was contagious during SNL50 on Sunday night. Steve Martin confirmed that both Martin Short and Maya Rudolph caught Covid during the anniversary show, which aired on NBC and Peacock.

The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards was full of Hollywood A-listers, but some were noticeably absent. When Joey King and Jack Quaid called out Martin Short ’s name when announcing the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, the duo began looking for the Only Murders in the Building star in the crowd.

Although 'SNL50' was a huge hit for Peacock, at least two 'Saturday Night Live' alums have reportedly contracted COVID.
