Inside the Beltway - SNL 

More like promotion! She make this sketch work well. But it wouldn't have worked unless it was embarrassing at the time. You couldn't get the same brilliant result if you intended this result or tried to script it. It turned a mid-show sketch into something worthy of a cold open. You have a 5 second transition for a couple of dozen people to do a couple of dozen things on a live broadcast. Once every million times even with the most talented cast, crew and producers, something will go wrong. It just brilliant than on SNL when that happens it is the most fun and the most rewarding for the audience. We all (well most I guess) prefer the SNL that pushes the boundaries with logistically insane ideas and sometimes makes a mistake (and is able to laugh at itself) than a more "safe" version that is more risk-adverse and thus less fun.

@@simonallison1457 For sure. I'm from England so we don't really do SNL but I've been into it thanks to RU-vid and more often than not the sketches that stand out for me are the ones with corpses and mistakes that just make it 100% funnier. Doubt I'd be thinking about any of them as much if they were error-free. And Cecily was breaking too, that is very rare.

@@mattpendell1369 I'm UK too. Absolutely agree

Cecily in dog court was just so funny

ANGH...LOL!

I think that's the biggest character break I've seen from any cast member ever, and I've been watching from day 1. The camera stayed on Aidy, but you could hear them all cracking.

@@pvthitch Oh, you gotta look up "Renaldo and Alexi" to see the most uncontolled breaks in a skit. From two seasoned characters!

Cecily never breaks either, which definitely wasn't helping Aidy. Too funny.

Drunk Orson Welles renaldo and alexi was a cut for time

@@pvthitch Debbie Downer at Disney had some hilarious breaks in it

*"WELL SAID, INDEED!"*

she had a whole other paragraph after what might be one of the worst SNL bloopers ever and they even did the video clip twice to buy the whole cast time

L'eggs

Cecily’s face during “Well said, Denise!!” could be my phone background

And Woody was just glad he doesn't have a long line.

yes! hearing cecily laugh each time aidy took a calming breath was the funniest part of this for me, they were not letting each other get back on track lol

She knew she was off camera lmao

I swear cecily is like that kid that will make you keep on laughing and because your laugh is louder than hers, you get in trouble

I think it was a bit of good natured payback for the amount of times Aidy would audibly laugh during the Mrs Rafferty sketches IMMEDIATELY after she was off camera when Cecily was on camera

I think that was Rachel Dratch

@@marketingjones No, just looked like her.

Don't worry, Ain't notin gonna happen

Gary Pranzo 🤣🤣🤣

Don't worry. Everything seems to be fine. According to Aidy's Instagram, that woman has been Aidy's stagehand for 7 years. Another fun fact is the stagehand's mother does Keenan's wardrobe. The stagehand's insta is @celestialwilderness. And from what I've seen, she doesn't necessarily need SNL. But she seems to be getting "high praise" from the staff.

The stage hand was the catalyst for the break. Like they were getting there but that stage hand being too early on her cue broke their asses 😂😂

Cecily isn’t *strong* enough to not break character in this skit. Heheh....I’ll be here all week

Watch the "Horace" skit with Bill Hader. Cecily breaks then as well....comedy gold!

The legend is a dresser from the wardrobe department, not a stagehand.

@@Franswa80 that sketch is hilarious

She is beautiful!!!

Bisma Safdar I find it amazing that Aidy can play so many very different roles so fantastic.

Very Private In this clip from an English game show, they all try not to laugh. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jl1Zfz-Widc.html

Very Private aww that’s so sweet

I love this comment with all of my soul

yes!

that's a heck of an idea!

Genius. Give this guy a job, Lorne.

Cesar Soto sir, that was a woman

That was costumer Audrey Bartow.

Because cecily never breaks n they are best friend

Oh, you can hear Cecily cracking up too

That quote is now SNL legend!

I absolutely adore and agree with your comment. The production and camera work on SNL is truly top-notch.

i’ve watched so many clips and i can say the same. Never in a skit where they’re switching clothes really quickly, have i seen any of them mess up THAT bad EVER. It was truly the most glorious thing i’ve ever seen lol

I have.

@@mapples007 you really gonna say that then have absolutely no context in the comment?

Since the first episode, that's so cool. I was born in 1967, and I do remember kids in school in the mid to late 70s talking about "Mr. Bill," but it would be a while before I knew who they were talking about.

You're a Sweet lady❤️👍🦄⭐️

Yep

That was costumer Audrey Bartow.

Me!!

Jade Blanco me!!

Right up there with David Spade losing his shit during the first appearance of Matt Foley, and everybody falling apart in Debby Downer goes to Disney Land.

I follow you on insta !

Tasaman 1 Debby Downer at Disneyland is my all time favorite skit with character break! 🤣🙌

sari oh hayyy😆🙋🏻‍♀️

Tasaman 1 what’s that skit called? Or what should I type to search it? haha

Yeah, I thought that as well.

I love it when they crack up 😂

SierraJack I know the stagehand personally. Everyone is actually super supportive about it and thinks it was funny. She has been there for over 5 years and was directed wrongly by a stage manager. So it wasn’t her fault.

Dylan Applegate Yass 😂 I have never seen her break character epically funny 😆

Sebastian Durham thought it was hilarious 😂 I loved it plz pass on the word 👏🏽

Yes for real!😂🤣🤣💀

And wiping them with a waffle😂😂😂

It made it so funny

I think she allows herself to break when she is not on camera

The stagehand did nothing wrong! Seriously, the mistake was probably in the booth, they cut to the wrong camera at the wrong time and it was supposed to still be on Kenan.

Staged. You bought it. Welcome to the Trump era.

Calvin Saxon - ah, so you’re the conspiracy theorist type, got it.

I would say make a sketch that shows the flurry of activity of the stage crew.

@@calvinsaxon5822 Well if that's true, *ain't nothing gonna happen* we don't really care it was brilliant. And I it wasn't real why does she look embarrassed and nobody could hold their genuine laughter?

Yeah this sketch was just a bit tooooo real. D:

@@kickenerbutt I've watched it 3xs. I can't stop laughing. This will go down in histoty!

Whistleblowers go missing when Clinton is involved.

@@mauricioberdugo7693 Yawn. You sub humans and your conspiracies.

@@mauricioberdugo7693 I guess you have a point. Trump is too incompetent to manage that. lol

Maybe he should have said "no" a bit more enthusiastically.

if you listen on multi-channel, that was just audience laughter.

@Respect/Walk post ur hog

@Respect/Walk ehh go ride your tractor

actually life expectancy has decreased for all Americans by 4 years

I'm good actually.

@Respect/Walk lefties*...You don't need an apostrophe to make something plural. This is America, please speak English.

They could have piped in the old Palmolive commercial, "Oh, you're soaking in him...!".

That line was perfect. And the way he wrote a note after he said it...

Platinum ninja Gaming so funny lol

Truth IS stranger than fiction.

Sickening

Update from 2020: well, SOMETHNG has happened

It's ain't nuttin gone happin.

Tiny Fitness A shit ton of "somethings". 😂

Yes, Hillary has proved THIS over and over. Ain't noth'in gonna happen.

William they were doing flashbacks

@@royal_mo22 They were doing flashbacks *live* so all the costume changes had to be done between each scene.

Oh there were so many things I thought were intentional... I love this sketch

I did

Still, that was hilarious

Not really. Its unprofessional. The segment wasnt all that funny to begin with.

@@Fluxion11 It's funny because of that and it's a satire, it's about making people laugh. Relax yo

Scientically is proven that for all race people the most funny thing is to see other people not holding laugh.

@@Fluxion11 Then why are you watching? If it's drama you want, look in the mirror.

I think you're right. It's possible all the camera shots were off at that point, because they did a close up on Kenan and he wasn't talking. Aidy even started taking off her top when the wardrobe woman appeared.

@@debbiedoodiedandi But she took off her top with a "I guess I should just go with it" kind of attitude since she didn't know how to respond to a woman pulling off her jacket when she was still on camera. But yes, I think the camera was supposed to be tight on Keenan at that point because that punch line works better in closeup.

I was saying that too last night.

Possible, but I really think everyone’s changing cue was the news montage with the music to avoid accidents. Having said that, I prefer this.

It's because of the dresser coming out too early and I was watching it first time, I was like I don't think she was suppose to come out too early lol 😂 and director said no 😂

Yes

I wonder what got her the giggles there. We almost need someone from the show or audience to let us know.

Reasonably sure it was the wardrobe assistant coming in too early

@@haljor22 ohhh, thanks. Missed that cracking her up initially.

5:19

#team FRANKIE it wasn’t her fault anyway, the camera was supposed to be zoomed in on keenan

@@DM-mj8nr How do you know that?

TSBilliards86 it’s pretty obvious. they were going to zoom in on keenan so he could say his line, that’s why keenan said ‘he gon win’ when the wardrobe woman was out there

Raoul Fleckman They can all see monitors showing what the live camera does. Whoever was supposed to switch the camera from a wide shot to Keenan is at fault.

Nobody responsible for that hiccup should be fired. This is what makes SNL so god damn unique. Everyone laughed their asses off as the hysterical breaking of the characters. Whoever messed up should get a raise for making that segment legendary.

She always breaks

@@swisscheeseplease97 I’ve literally never seen her break before now except when she’s around dogs tbh

I wish they would have either gone to Cecily or done a wide shot, just to see Cecily losing it.

I know, they both break so little that having both of them cracking up like that in the same sketch was that much better.

There's one called Brothers where they both lost it.

After reading your comment I went back to listen and you're correct! It's a very distinct yet dry, "NO". Thanks for pointing that out. :D

It absolutely is..... Hee-larry-us...🤣😂😁

4:40 The way she keeps touching Aidy's arm. It''s funnier when you watch it again.

I like the "wooh, wooh, no".

Oh now I gotta watch this again! LOL!

You called it

Yessssir

😅

Truer words have never been spoken. I don't read much aside from the RU-vid comment sections 😬🤭

So sad.

It makes for a more intimate dynamic with the viewers. It is completely within the SNL charter to decide to do a live show. Why else go through all the hassle?

The camera man was just like "oh shit, it ain't gonna happen"

@@sorchamarie4089 Best comment ever!

No because otherwise we would have seen other stagehands coming out for Cecily and Woody, and Aidy would have actually started changing instead of holding to the jacket.

@@einsteinboricua the others probably noticed the mistake in the cameras

I hope they give her an imdb credit for this skit.

it wouldn’t have been her fault anyway, the camera was supposed to be a tight shut of Keenan but they forgot to change cameras

Lose her job? She should get a raise!

Aidy already gave her a huge shout-out on IG. I think she'll be fine.

It was totally the director’s fault.

Yea, that Hillary body count is ever increasing. Now they're killing just because they can(Epstein and the clock is ticking for Weinstein). Besides this impeachment is gonna make them look really bad cause he gonna win.

@@sallymae6812 stfu.. god damn sheep... hillary! obama!.. stfu this isn't about anything other than the moron in office now.. wake the fuck up.. trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of time square and not lose support.. you're making that statement true.

@@AGENTOFDARWIN He gonna win again even consummate lefties have to tell the truth once in awhile. Don't be a deep state stooge.

@@sallymae6812 most likely.. never under estimate the stupid.. people love to be conned. as long as they think they're " sticking" it to the other side. the right will march to fascism and the left will march to communism. The sheep on each side will go willingly... your left, right bs shows how much you have been conned.

@@sallymae6812 trump said he could kill someone and not lose support.. thank you for proving him right.. sheep will follow the shepherd to the slaughter house..

coz....., it dont take no rocket scientist to know: "aint nutin gown hapen!"

Nine days left now, ain't nothing happened yet.

see, nuthin happened.

Thank you, for reminding me to take some screen shots!

Clearly you've never watched bill hader. He's broken so badly he can't even get his line out without having to stop and laugh to the side and take a breath, hence the stefon mouth cover. Aidy did her bit, powering through the laughter

faggedaboutit bro it was just a joke lmao

Best part: When Aidy is like "No!" to herself trying to force herself to stop laughing.

She was classic ...

@Rob Rosenberg Seriously, I'm always amazed that Lindsay Lohan was the most professional in that sketch, hah.

That was costumer Audrey Bartow. Aidy Bryant explained it on _The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon_ recently.

Facts

Yup, I'll believe it when I see it.

@Jangler333 Now. We're talking about the Clownshow currently melting down in front of our eyes. Why do you ask?

This was my entire last 2 weeks!

Blacks are realists

she got fired and will be replaced by Shane Gillis

The poor production mistake is what made her break character, They were laughing because the stage hand made a mistake. Not because the material was good.

@@alexdaniels7646 Really?! WOW, we had no idea that's why they were laughing! Don't you just love when someone explains the obvious? lol. That's like someone lighting a candle and someone else says "you know that candle is burning because you lit it." Ok, I've completed my one bitchy comment for the week. Good day, all. 😋

"No..!"

jssangel416 bitch what?? sometimes people need that clarification, don’t be rude.

That must be it. You can tell he’s looking around the monitors to see when it cuts, but then it goes to a wide by mistake.

Thanks! I wouldn't have noticed that.

I think you're right.

She talked about it and explained it all in an interview on Fallon

Damn, good catch

Wow you've got some super special skills, had to watch it two more times after you told me the info to hear it for myself

When does that happen? Time stamp!

@@queens2nd2none 4:43 (i think?)

Wow! Good catch! Was that woman not supposed to come out on stage and mess with her clothes yet? Was these outtakes legit or were the apart of the script... This was a great segment, hilarious I'm getting new revelations days later

that and the trying of the costume change

Yeah, I think the stagehand went on at the right time but the camera wasn’t supposed to be on her

That or the stage manager flipped her que light early

They were simultaneously changing the clothes and talking at certain points so the DP couldn’t cut back to the people while they were changing. I don’t really know what this sketch was supposed to be lol, it was awful until the costume lady walked directly in to the middle of the shot.

It was probably supposed to be a close up of kenan saying his line and she thought she was off camera

I had to replay the video to see if that bit intentional or not.

Me too!

Same 😂

I've watched that bit with the stage hand several times and I still don't get what is happening. Please someone tell me.

Greg Turner she’s helping with the quick costumes changes and missed her cue, ran onto live tv an tried to change her 💀🤷🏼‍♀️

Same! Hahaha

I just now realized that lol thank you

It was done very well. Notice how Kenan has a mustache (on the "old" round tables), and he doesn't have a mustache on the current show.

Aidy’s hair was all over the place. 😂

You sir are right. Watched the taping in the studio and was probably one of the more impressive things I’ve seen. During each commercial/video clip the crew jumps back on stage and helps switch costumes around for the cast.

He'll be a threat to the presidency and our democracy until he's in the ground.

Agreed. This is an old school type SNL skit where a screw up can turn this into a possible classic. Still can't beat the uniqueness of being taped on Live TV.

the sketch was already funny before the break of character

That is a bit harsh. I doubt the whistleblower will go missing. They will probably just have Putin poison the WB and then have the Saudi Prince bring in the old bone saw.

No, that would only happen on Killary's watch.

It'll be another death by "scarf"

@@VintageRose75 Dirty Donnie Trump's known kill count started in 1989 with Stephen F. Hyde, Mark G. Etess, and Jonathan Benanav. Since then it's been a stream of deaths all of whom were people with information on Dirty Donnie. His connections to the Russian Mob are WELL KNOWN, as he used his casinos to launder money for them (which is part of the reason for their bankruptcy) and help them establish in the USA in Atlantic City. So you have no idea what's really going on.... you're just sucking up the propaganda from Mendacious Rupert Murdoch who is part of the "destroy the USA" conspiracy along with Vicious Vladimir Putin and Dirty Donny Trump.

@@williammann2088 Bonesaw is ready!!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-691qO96VRVw.html

It looks like she was on time and the cameras messed up the cue.

SNL is live at 11:30 pm in the eastern time zone, which means it's also live at 10:30 pm in the central time zone. But I don't know what happens farther west. Do they have a delayed broadcast of the "live" show for the mountain and pacific times zones--and what about Alaska and Hawaii? It can't be "live" across the whole US unless they do the same show several times a night.

Thanks, Bevillain

With a five seconds delay.

Thanks, Andrew JD. I always wondered about that.

@@PerthTowne Until a few years ago, it used to re-run (taped) on the west coast. Sometimes the west coast version would be different (using dress versions of a sketch). Now it's live.

Luis not gonna happen

@@MichaelKaufman0 ahah perfect comment

@@SimonKanner-si3it *not

S.H. K. Why would they ?

@@furiouhuzzah your right she just came out on set to early for wardrobe change. Hope she doesn't get canned for that. It was a good laugh.

Best line in the skit..lol

@@Chunkboi well we live in bizarro world now.

Tom V - Most people realize they did something heroic and noble but politicians in high places are corrupt and not above murder to cover up their crimes.

We need to put them in Witness Protection as we do for people who testify against the mob.

True. Ain't nothing gon' happen and he's gonna win again.

@Wicker Billy I guess you missed the idea of "echoes my thoughts." Sometimes when we use logic, we form similar opinions.

Wicker Billy so I’m guessing you believe something will happen to Trump? Not really clear where you stand.

Yup

Wicker Billy why doesn’t it effect your life?
