**Debbie Downer Returns for *SNL*’s 50th Anniversary Special**
The 50th anniversary special of *SNL* was intended to be a joyous occasion—but that was not the case if Debbie Downer had her way.
On Sunday, Rachel Dratch brought back her iconic *SNL* character, famous for stifling celebrations with awkward realities. This time, her audience featured Ayo Edebiri, Drew Barrymore, Robert De Niro, and Jimmy Fallon.
While the stars tried to order beverages at Debbie’s bar, they were instead subjected to dismal information about alcohol, endangered rhinos, and gout—typical of Debbie Downer.
