Making a special mention of their 30 Rock co-star - who's still recovering from a car accident he was involved in last June - Alec tried to impersonate the actor and Tina made a heartfelt message for him.

She said: "I wish my friend Tracy Morgan was here tonight. I know he was hoping he would be well enough to be here too.

"If he were here tonight I am sure Tracy would remind us that more than anything, he would like to get us all pregnant. See you at the 41st, Tracy. We love you."

Eddie Murphy was also on the show, greeted with a standing ovation when he took to the stage for the first time in 30 years, admitting SNL will always be a big part of his life.

He said: "Isn't this an incredible night? This show is a big part of who I am and my life.

"I'm so happy to be back here. I feel like it's going back to my old high school again. I will always love this show."

Fellow comedian Chris Rock introduced Eddie, saying: "When I was young, I didn't think comedy was a job. And then I saw Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live and it changed everything."

Also on the show, Betty White and Bradley Cooper shared a smooch during a sketch, which also included Kerry Washington and Taylor Swift.

Other big names that made appearances during the show included Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Sir Paul McCartney, Jimmy Fallon and Chevy Chase.
