In the closing moments of the first-ever “Saturday Night Live From Home,” the show paid tribute to its longtime sketch-music maestro Hal Willner, who died on April 7 with symptoms consistent with coronavirus. Willner was renowned as a multi-talented producer of albums by Lou Reed, Marianne Faithfull, Lucinda Williams as well as elaborate multi-artist tribute compilations to Charles Mingus, Kurt Weil and others — but unquestionably his most widely-heard work was the music he helmed for the skits on “SNL” for nearly 40 years, beginning in 1981.
The segment features multiple castmembers from across the years — ranging from Adam Sandler and Tina Fey to Kate McKinnon and Fred Armisen — paying tribute to Willner.
McKinnon, tearing up, calls him “One of the coolest and most passionate and good-natured people”; Armisen says “He used to come up to my dressing room and share music with me.”
