Maloney would routinely add in lines to the prompts between dress and air to purposely screw with Bill. That's one of the reasons he breaks character so much and laughs during the segments.

I knew that there was extra stuff making him laugh but not sure why I would know it was Mulaney and maybe a word was missing that changes the meaning of what Matthew was getting at.

"Stefon's return was fantastic and it was great knowing Mulaney clearly fucked WITH Hader with the constant mentioning of Dan Cortese.

The first time I saw "Love Is a Dream" when it aired in 1988 my reaction was "Did I miss something? What was the funny part?" I was a little more of a mainstream viewer for SNL sometimes and didn't get nuances. But having seen it when Jan Hooks herself very tearfully introduced it after Hartman died in 1998, it made much more sense and I recognized the poignancy, almost like it was always meant to be a tribute. Now seeing it played again for Jan Hooks, it really made me so sad, yet happy for both of them. It is so much more beautiful and has greater meaning because of their presence.

Those Tom Schiller films were all really cool, and I feel like I get them more now than I did when they were a regular part of the show.

They really shouldn't do mawkish bits on SNL.

It's like those are cursed.

There was the one with Belushi as an old man visiting the graves of his cast mates.

And then the song between Hartman and Farley when Phil was leaving.

And now Love is a Dream.

By And now do you mean 26 years ago?

Josh-da-man

Belushi, Farley, Hartman, and Hooks have all died relatively young.

It's public knowledge that when Mulaney and Hader wrote the Stefon skits, Mulaney would change the cue cards at the last minute without Hader's knowledge. This became an ongoing thing and why Hader keeps laughing during the Stefon bits.

Hader and Mulaney wrote Saturday's Stefon skit together (even with them being on opposite coasts), but Mulaney emailed Rob Klein (one of the head writers) before the show aired asking him to make changes to the cue cards.

Klein changed them and told nobody.

Public knowledge? To who and who is following that kind of info?

Mr. Salty

Mulaney and Hader have both talked about it in multiple interviews. It's even in the Wikipedia entry for Stefon.

Big Boy Laroux

Chalk me up as someone who didn't know, either. That's pretty funny, though, and definitely explains why Hader (who normally does not break character) ALWAYS breaks character while playing Stefon.

Matthew Chmiel

Mulaney's personal Instagram shows the email he sent to Klein with one of the changes being that of adding Dan Cortese to every club.

Fans of the character.

I'm a fan of the show even though it stinks anymore but I don't know why anyone would be following mulaney on instagram or reading Stefans wiki. Never heard of Mulaney before seeing that he has his own show now.

That's enough I guess. Who's on next week?

Leslie Jones added as a cast member. Will start this weekend with the Jim Carrey episode.

She isn't funny.

Big Boy Laroux

Ugh, she's really not.

anomynous

Already the worst cast member.

Josh-da-man

She'll fit right in.

JeffTheAlpaca

I hope Jim Carrey can bring the funny but his last appearance was nothing special.

DVD Josh

His first episode was an absolute classic from beginning to end. The whirlpool lifeguard still makes me howl.
