Arguably one of the best parts of Saturday Night Live's big 40th Anniversary show on Sunday night was Jerry Seinfeld's masterful Q&A session.
Not only was it hilarious, but holy heck, it was fun to look into that crowd.
[seealso URL="http://sale-online.click/2015/02/17/jimmy-fallon-snl-40-recap/"]
SNL vets, big-name directors and some randoms whose SNL connections are apparently solid.
What made the celeb spotting even more fun was realizing there was no way all of them could be worked into sketches during the night. Yes, some of them appeared in montages and others got on stage for the bow at the end of the night. But a ton of people just got to chill at the coolest show of the year.
So exactly which well-known names got to hang out in studio 8H that night?
Your answer is below, names courtesy of NBC, Mashable's eyeballs, and Twitter.
