Among the luminous figures was Sarah Sherman—a dynamic actress and comedian whose unique blend of surreal humor and inventive body-horror gags has redefined modern sketch comedy.
Sarah’s red-carpet appearance at the SNL50 Anniversary Show was more than a stylish debut; it was a testament to her creative evolution.
