SNL legend Laraine Newman took a stroll through Studio 8H for the show's 50th anniversary special this week, but she wasn't alone. Pete Davidson's Chad just happened to be there, so he came along for the ride.

Newman was part of the original SNL cast when it began in 1975, alongside Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, and Chevy Chase. As for Chad? He just works here, I guess.

Walking through NBC's iconic SNL studio, 8H, Newman gets nostalgic alongside Davidson's recurring idiot character, and it's a strangely moving sketch. Even when Chad gets naked.
