In the wake of the tragic elementary school shooting that left 20 children and 7 adults dead early Friday morning, Saturday Night Live chose to open its holiday episode last night with a live performance of the Xmas song Silent Night by The Manhattan Children’s Chorus. No jokes, no skits … just a group of children singing a lovely holiday hymn. It was a powerful way to open the show and a poignant tribute to the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Well done, SNL. Very well done.
This is so heartbreaking. Couldn’t watch it without tearing up.. May all those innocent lives rest in peace.
I agree, Jenn. I think I started tearing up even before I pressed “Play”!
classy. well done, snl.
Beautiful and perfect.
Tears just seconds in. So very nice.
