Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter Open SNL's 50th Anniversary Special
On February 16, 2025, Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter opened the star-studded “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” with an emotional performance of Simon’s classic song “Homeward Bound.” The duet marked a poignant moment in the celebration of Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary. Simon first performed the song on the show in 1976 alongside George Harrison, and Carpenter humorously noted that neither she nor her parents were born at the time. The song, originally released on Simon & Garfunkel’s 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, remains a timeless piece of music history. Following the performance, Simon and Carpenter delivered the iconic line, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”
Simon, a longtime fixture of SNL, has hosted the show four times and performed music on 13 occasions. The anniversary special featured appearances from numerous former cast members and musical guests, including Lil Wayne, The Roots, and Paul McCartney. The event was part of a larger celebration that included documentaries and a livestreamed concert at Radio City Music Hall.
In other news, Paul Simon’s enduring legacy continues to be celebrated. As of 2025, his estimated net worth stands at $250 million, a testament to his six-decade career as both a solo artist and one half of Simon & Garfunkel. His wealth is driven by record sales, royalties, live performances, and strategic investments, including the 2021 sale of his music catalog to Sony Music Publishing for $250 million. Despite health challenges, such as tinnitus, Simon remains active in the music world, with his work continuing to resonate across generations. His relationship with Art Garfunkel, though strained, has seen moments of reconciliation, reflecting the complex yet enduring bond between the two legends.
