Section of April 2024 was seen by 8.9 million viewerswhile Youtube video Has logged over 23 million views during the 14 months since it was broadcast. However, the sketch almost did not happen at all. It had been scrapped for two former hosts, Jonah Hill far back in 2018 and Oscar Isaac 2022, Day revealed.
“We would all give it up,” said Day, but added that Gosling “changes our lives every time he is worthy.”
In a performance on Seth MeyersDay added that he “loved” gosling. “He just came in and sprinkle with his magical pond over everything,” he said.
Series Stylist Jodi Mancuso and makeup artist Louie Zakarian said both That the sketch was canceled when Hill was worth 2018 because the dentures were not on level yet.
“Even at that time it was late to get into the show, so it wasn’t much prep time and I was not completely satisfied with the wigs,” Mancuso told The Ankler. “Then I think we tried it again, and again I was not happy with it. So we gave it up completely,” this will not happen. ”
But Gosling was the glue that led the sketch. In it, Gosling and Day play “Beavis and Butt-Head” Lookalikes that distract a news-sided townhouse that Heidi Gardner tries to host. Gardner could not contain his laugh and remain in character, a rare moment of Gardner’s break.
“It feels like it was just a huge edition in many ways for people,” Gardner told Indiewire last year. “You don’t look at” SNL “2024 and expect to see Beavis and Butt-Head. So I think it was a fun generation for people to feel nostalgia.
She continued: “And then the fact that we all got giggles, people have said to me: ‘Oh, see you laugh so hard gave me permission to laugh so hard and just really be, This is so stupid. “”
“When it works it only works,” Dag told Variety by a sketch secret sauce. Day started on the 50-year series in 2013 as a writer. He was promoted to a series of regular three seasons later.
“It’s crazy where the ideas originate,” he said about the writing process. “Sometimes you can see something on TV It will only spark your idea, or you see an advertising, but often I’m not really sure where this comes from. “
And Day has no intention to leave “SNL”, maybe ever.
“I want to work there as long as I can. I want to work there until It’s sad“He said.
