    For a comedy show, SNL has always nailed it when it comes to noting sad events.

    I couldn't believe that SNL left me a weeping mess. It was the perfect opening. And the entire episode was just what was needed. I still ball when I see this

    This was one of the best things I have ever seen SNL do. I remember when it came on live and I absolutely lost it. Such a moving tribute to those children and teachers who lost their lives days before the episode aired. I still get chocked up watching it.

      Sandy Hook happened the day before. Paul McCartney was the musical guest and they already had the children's choir coming in for when he was going to sing "Wonderful Christmas". Paul McCartney offered to open the show by singing something, but Lorne Michaels didn't think anything felt appropriate and a star like McCartney was too much show. Lorne asked the choir director if the kids knew Silent Night, and they did, so they kept the opening simple and solemn. It was just the thing everyone needed.

    I'm back here because of the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting. I shouldn't be back here. So senseless. I can't even imagine the pain the poor parents are going through right now.

    Fly on the Wall's Lorne Michaels interview (part 2) brought me here. Powerful stuff, and the dip to black at the very end definitely makes it work (thanks to Marty Short's suggestion).

    10 years since Sandy Hook, and rather than move forward, it feels like we’ve gone backwards or stood still as this year saw 19 students and 2 teachers killed in Uvalde and countless other mass shootings. Our country is sick and not enough people care to heal it.

    What a precious way SNL honored the kids from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown Connecticut. Huge Kudos to SNL.

    What would these precious children become if they hadn't been taken from us???? This was one of the most beautiful performances in TV history ever.

    I'm only 18 and I have never watched SNL live, especially not in 2012. I've been thinking about the lives of the innocent children and teachers who passed almost 11 years ago today during the Sandy Hook shooting and the melody of silent night kept getting stuck in my mind. I don't know what it was, but looking into the Christmas lights I remembered the time I read Mark Barden talking about the time that Daniel Barden said the reflection of the Christmas tree lights in the window are beautiful and it made me want to take a moment of silence with myself. I took a moment for the victims of 12/14, Uvalde, and every other innocent person who has lost their life to gun violence. After, I decided to listen to silent night, and scrolled through the different versions. This is the first one I clicked on and I had no idea it was a tribute to Newton. I looked at the description and started crying when I realized. Sending my prayers today and everyday to the victims affected by tragedy. You are Loved.

      That kid usually does the rap part, but they cut that to make it more solemn due to Sandy Hook.
