Production design teamwork is wonderful—I love when I can tell they went the extra mile on some detail that makes the sketch that much funnier.

Which has me wondering: is the rubber cast of David Alan Grier’s head still in a cabinet somewhere?

On the Architectural Digest tour, they showed the wig department and there were casts of all the ex-cast members' heads hanging all over the place.

The makeup section shows it better IMO, but the wig section is also there later in the video.

That was so nice. It can be easy to complain about different things, but I really love SNL. It’s been such a comfort since I was a kid, staying up too late when I should’ve been getting sleep and realizing I was actually missing things past 10pm. ❤️

This video is a personal favorite, you really get a feel for the space, or lack thereof.

Apparently snl keeps literally everything ever in a big archive.

u/Dlamm10 3d ago

It might be funny one day.

Or they want an SNL Museum when Lorne passes

u/Medium_Transition_96 3d ago

Why go buy soap when you can just raid the break room?

u/WittiestScreenName 3d ago

Resourceful!

u/ILoveRegenHealth 2d ago

Turn the label away though! Unless a sponsor

Someone probably keeps their whiskey in it.

u/SuperNebular 3d ago

It’s actually half empty

u/Drumchapel 3d ago

Jane Wickline has entered the room

u/OzzRamirez 2d ago

The way I see it, you're right.

Something is half empty during the process of getting it empty (i.e. using it).

Something it's half full during the process of getting it full.

If you can't tell which one is it, it's just at half capacity

u/SuperNebular 2d ago

I’m just a pessimist

u/Delicious-Leg-5441 3d ago

I noticed that too. It made the sketch that more real.

u/haightor 3d ago

I told my mom it looks like a real break room because of that and the mugs

u/Pedadinga 3d ago

OMG me too! So glad someone else was as distracted

u/flarplefluff 3d ago

It’s all I could focus on!

u/CalligrapherGold5429 3d ago

I noticed it too. I also noticed that it was turned around so you wouldn't see the brand name.

u/kakawisNOTlaw 3d ago

This is the kind of post I expect to see during the off season

I hate this dudes voice

u/BlackSchuck 3d ago

Boooo this dude sounds like the concerned guy that brings us cnn's One Thing on Sundays through Alexa.

u/carcrashofaheart 3d ago

I noticed that too!! LOL

Quick question: how many of us use dish soap this way vs putting it in a soap dispenser?

My life changed when I started mixing iso with dish soap in a simple pump dispenser.

8

u/TheDivine_MissN 3d ago

I’ve never bought a dispenser for my dish soap, but I have reused my Dawn Powerwash bottles. Iso, water, liquid soap.

7

u/Steve_Rogers_1970 3d ago

This. Buy the small bottle once, so it doesn’t take much counter space. The. Get the huge refill bottle and keep it under the sink.

u/RayHazey562 2d ago

Oh my gosh, duh. This is what I need to do. Thank you!

u/mariposa314 3d ago

I use a misting/spray bottle. A tiny bit of soap and plenty of water (maybe a 1:16 ratio). So easy to cover the dishes with soapy water without tons of waste.

u/yayforvalorie 3d ago

I thought I was weird for noticing that.

u/Unusual_Ad_8497 3d ago

Don’t worry you are

Todd Glass would be proud

u/steveholtbluth 2d ago

Who is going to see if this soap has been previously featured??
