Sarah Jessica Parker has shared an inside look from the star-studded audience of Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary show.

The Sex And The City star, 59, attended the celebrations with her husband Matthew Broderick, 62, and took to Instagram to post video from her seats as the show came to a close. 

The footage captured the audience on their feet and applauding as the cast concluded the celebrations.   

Parker appeared to have been seated somewhere in the middle of the audience, which was absolutely jam-packed and contained plenty of famous faces, including Kevin Costner, Cher, Anya Taylor-Joy and more. 

‘@nbcsnl 50th anniversary,’ she began in the caption. ‘Soup to nuts, a thrilling night. Matthew and I so honored to sit in Studio 8H and recall its 50 glorious years. Brilliant Lorne Michaels!! Perfectly done. Thank you for including us. X, SJ.’

‘Thanks for sharing your POV SJP! It was so cleverly put together, they hit so many marks,’ another wrote.

‘I adore this. Thank you,’ another remarked.

‘The crowd shots were my FAVORITE part. I needed to pause to look at ALL of the fabulousness in that room!!! Nuts! What a run. SNL has given us SO. MANY. STARS,’ another gushed.

‘I was really wanting to be in that audience when Paul McCartney played. You are lucky to have experienced it all @sarahjessicaparker . Thanks for posting.’

Sarah and her husband Matthew have both appeared on Saturday Night Live – the actress hosted an episode in 1994 while her spouse hosted a 1988 show. 

Saturday Night Live celebrated five decades on the air style with a bevy of guest stars for its fiftieth anniversary special, including Kim Kardashian.

The 44-year-old reality star made a surprise appearance on the SNL50 special as a member of the Maharelle Sisters from the Finger Lakes, regular guests on the sketch-comedy show’s version of The Lawrence Welk Show.

Kim elicited gasps and cheers from the audience as returning star Kristen Wiig drummed on her pert derriere, but the show had plenty of other buzzy moments, including an awkward one featuring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively amid her dueling lawsuits with Justin Baldoni.

Fred Armisen was back as Welk, and he was hosting hosting the three Maharelle sisters from the Finger Lakes, who were played this time by Kim, Scarlett Johansson and Ana Gasteyer.

Will Ferrell upstaged them as Robert Goulet by riding in on a motorcycle with a sidecar.

He was entranced by the trio, until Kristen Wiig made her customary appearance as the forgotten fourth sister, Dooneese.

She had the character’s long doll hands, extended forehead and snaggletooth.

‘Forehead!’ he exclaimed.
