Saturday Night Live returned to the airwaves last night with a new at-home format. The legendary sketch show paid tribute to one of their own, beloved music producer Hal Wilner, who died recently at 64 due to complications from COVID-19.
Both current and past cast members honored the longtime SNL music producer with memories as well as a song, fittingly, Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day.” Along with his SNL duties, Wilner also produced records by the legendary Velvet Underground frontman.
Watch SNL’s tribute to Hal Wilner below:
!function ($) {
window.jb_populate_livestreams_promo = function( $element ) {
let args = $element.attr( ‘data-args’ );
// set up the AJAX post data
var data = {
‘action’: ‘jb_get_livestreams_promo’,
‘args’: args,
};
// make the AJAX $_POSTcall
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
url: ajaxurl,
data: data,
success: function( response ){
if ( true == response.success ){
$element.html(response.data).slideDown(420);
// trigger Cloudinary
var evt = window.document.createEvent(‘UIEvents’);
evt.initUIEvent(‘resize’, true, false, window, 0);
window.dispatchEvent(evt);
return;
}
},
error: function( response ){
alert( response.responseText );
}
});
};
$(function(){
$(‘#livestreams-promo-container’).each( function(){
jb_populate_livestreams_promo( $(this) );
});
});
}(window.jQuery);
