The Saturday Night Live special to commemorate the show's 40th anniversary is set to air this Sunday, and there's been much hype about the incredible list of guests from the worlds of music, acting and comedy who will be appearing on the show.

Check out Shoemaker's Twitter feed to see this great collection of photographs as well as descriptions of each.
