In celebration of the show's 50th anniversary, Saturday Night Live is debuting a free, multi-day immersive experience that will give fans the chance to feel what it's like to host one of the most beloved programs on TV.

"Live from New York: The SNL50 Experience" will run from January 30 through February 2 at Rockefeller Center. Free reservations ill be available on a first-come, first-serve basis starting tomorrow at noon right here.

Festivities will continue on NBC on February 16, when SNL will premiere its anticipated three-hour primetime broadcast SNL50: The Anniversary Special.

"From the thrill of hearing your name announced as you burst through the stage doors to rolling your chair up to the Weekend Update desk, every attendee will experience both the on-camera magic and off-camera rush of SNL; with surprises and callbacks around every corner that celebrate 50 years of famed sketches and the signature spontaneous nature that’s defined the series since 1975," reads an official press release about the immersive activation.

Keep in mind that the experience, which will run daily from 1pm through 9pm, is only open to folks 16 and up. 

If you can snag passes to the limited-time shenanigans, worry not: tickets to regular SNL tapings are also free and available to the public. Here is how to get your hands on them
