NBC's Saturday Night Live is celebrating 50 years of late night comedy this year and one of the prime time specials that aired recently was "50 Years of SNL Music" which featured past music performers since the show's debut in 1975. The 3-hour NBC special Monday night started with a 6-minute mashup of SNL music performers all edited and merged into an incredibly fantastic music video mashup.
A show representative said Monday that the language Shane Gillis used was "offensive, hurtful and unacceptable," and the show was not aware of the past remarks that have drawn criticism.
