PLEASE keep these Behind the Sketch segments coming!

[@hg82met]

Some of these SNL sketches are proper high-budget short films.

[@starcrib]

Shrimp Tower was demented, funny, and done so well- I forwarded it to many people. 🍸🦐🦐🍸🦐🍸🦐🍸🦐🍸

[@kengeorgejones6855]

So great to see a longer version of the behind the scenes pieces compared to many in the last few seasons. Those really help to add to the insight into the sketch. Thank you.

[@billmcg1676]

Always cool to see behind the scenes stuff especially from SNL. Wish they would've done this long ago. Interesting to see how sketches/skits come about from the original idea from the writer up to show time.

[@alejandracartwright8923]

These behind the scenes are so short! I could watch a full-length documentary for every sketch

[@m.maclellan7147]

I was hoping for more info on the actual shrimp tower ! Did they have to make several ? I realize it is probably "stunt" glass, but I would have liked more 'prop' inside. SNL has AMAZING PROPS !

[@khadeejaaaa832]

they have to pull all these sketches off in such little time they definitely just don’t have the time to make behind the scenes stuff

[@batgurrl]

Always enjoy behind the scenes installments. Excellent production values and hilarity❤️

[@sybotrybo1609]

to me this time it's more interesting to watch rhan the actual sketch

[@laalaa99stl]

A full minute longer than the last time you uploaded this: the _extended_ behind the sketch!

[@wendydarling5790]

Very funny sketch. And the surprise Pedro cameo here was a nice bonus. 😍

[@kinsmed]

These will be revered as a glimpse into American comedy history. Even though SNL is 'failing' (in its 49th year) said the man with one term, two impeachments, and NINETY-ONE felony charges.

[@canaisyoung3601]

And that man hosted twice before. He didn't have to come on the show if he thought it sucked. Yes, SNL does have some years where it's not as funny as it should be (seasons six, eleven, and 20 being the biggest examples), but it always bounces in some way, unlike him.

[@Hahahahaaahaahaa]

The set is just f'in insane. Like, I am ALWAYS impressed with the crew's ability to get shit done, but this is unreal detail.

[@masterchinese28]

One of my favorite SNLsketches in some time. I've watched it several times.

[@23ofSeptember]

Been watching SNL since the 80s and I must say its probably the best SNL sketch ever. Brilliant.

[@sybotrybo1609]

wow, not my favorite but respect to your choice

[@lranieri1]

Thanks SNL!! I'm still amazed at how many people it takes to pull it off. I see all the people in the background and I'm curious what each person does. It's a true team effort!

[@Calgho]

One of the wackiest and funniest sketches. Never knew Thanos is such a comic genius. He should be a 5 timer

[@groundedextracts]

Hilarious sketch

[@graphicallydeb9897]

❤❤love the sketch.. love the behind scenes !

[@joeyfitz9]

Look at that set and the costumes! I can NOT believe SNL puts these sketches to gather in a matter of days. How?

[@ronaldrothchild4068]

Shrimp and Trump Tower in trouble!

[@sybotrybo1609]

nice to see who wrote it

[@qksmxjcidke]

Love the behind the skecth❤❤Pls upload bts more often !! 🙏

[@negano5654]

We need another 🦐 Tower sketch. 😂😂😂

[@joannejohnson7006]

Will go down in history 😂

[@anabanana6890]

This was my favorite sketch of that episode.

[@patrickconnolly7799]

This was one of my favorites since Rosanna .

[@dynodave3808]

Shrimp tower was classic 😂😂😂 LMAO, SNL & Josh Brolin rocked it...

[@jamesjimowen]

Masterpiece. 🍤 🙂👍

[@NicholasAShaw]

Crazy.

[@jackf1215]

While I know the sketch wasn’t really well liked by audiences, I’m so thrilled and excited to see everyone else enjoying themselves with a sketch they all want to participate in. THAT makes a sketch funny to me.

[@brandennfinch]

DUDDDDEESS I LOVE YALLS MOVIE HAD NO IDEA WHO YAL WERE

[@user-eq2dx2jp6v]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ well done ❤❤❤❤ thank u

[@wyleymenolascino9148]

Nailing the trending music

[@Sun.Shine-]

Just inagine if this whole scene was happening in the lounge room in the overlook hotel?

[@laalaa99stl]

I loved the oxymoron of shrimp tower.

[@Dandan-vf9kr]

Wth Mike Diva works for SNL

[@heatherburke9583]

this makes me think he couldve done mark ruffalos character in poor things haha

[@MilesSpearman]

This is one of my favorite sketches on SNL

[@mathadiousgames]

Where are the PDD sketches?

[@BillyReplies]

Nicest Chili's ever.

[@chrisoulalakkas7935]

Being unique doesn't mean going rogue. Stay true to yourself without straying into recklessness for the sake of being different.

[@Unagodd]

"Brolin is so game for anything." Man, this episode really proves that. They had him doing wild shit from start to finish.

[@thurstonmirolav8891]

I would like my future generations to know that I was the first one to comment here

[@AlyCatDotGames]

o7 I'll pass the word along

[@alumpyhorse]

noted

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Live your dreams!

[@Arkham14]

Legend

[@maber2k8]

Hello future generations of thurstonmirolav8891, your ancestor is an inspiration to all us mere mortal KZbin commenters who can only imagine the sweet glory of being the first person to comment on a behind the scenes video of an snl sketch 🙌

[@Dayvit78]

Barry Lyndonesque? Yeah, not with those lights.

[@franzzzedits829]

no wonder the sketch was good, it was written by pdd

[@WoodenFilms]

Why did they re-upload this?

[@volleybrawl1]

I guess they added more content as it’s a minute longer? not sure why tho

[@KHoltzie]

One Hasidic Sewer Jew emerges from NYC’s underground, is caught on camera and nobody at SNL thinks up a skit??? 😏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@steveconn]

ADD Uploaders!

[@jmeldo9477]

Just here for more Sarah Sherman

[@zzzaphod8507]

Love seeing the fake laugh at 2:02 again

[@MammaApa]

"Wing Pit"? I've never seen Wing Pit. Why is the entire season 48 missing from youtube?

[@moss_yt]

Here’s Wing Pit from the Pedro Pascal episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Sle6yeqsybeNEfeature=shared And here’s a playlist of all the sketches from season 48: kzbin.info/aero/PLS_gQd8UB-hIt5GOazHrJuOt_T1D5dnnm&feature=shared When I searched “SNL season 48” it brought back several results for me. If you’re outside of the US it might be a copyright issue? Hope this was helpful :)

[@MammaApa]

@@moss_yt Yeah no, I can't see any of those and the list appear empty. So definitely a region issue (I live in Sweden). Weird, since I can see the one before and after.

[@terrancekayton007]

Couldn’t find any new Behind the Scene sketches to post 😒.

[@corylombard]

Wow...SNL does not exist anymore. Sick.

[@twobucca]

I was right. Shrimp tower = Sarah. Was too random and weird. It also killed.

[@mbryanf]

If you aren’t having the time of your life filming this, then something is wrong.

[@ActuallyHoudini]

did they shoot some of this on 16mm or was that just a dummy film cartridge?

[@KHoltzie]

I will say this-for every bad skit that they have (there are a handful that are just poorly written and not funny) there is a good one! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@Alexander_Martin]

guess last Saturday wasn't worth the upload...

[@Jackman66666666]

Didn't get it.

[@TreadwellJay]

:37 pretending it was shot on film for some reason

[@beeawesome2869]

Snl has slid down hill like a Sh!t Tower

[@SyngonioMalik]

Danish ,,,🇮🇳

[@nak3dxsnake]

The joke being that the shrimp tower is just an incredible eye sore of sea vermin. Yet he holds it in high esteem. Those glasses could've been used for alcohol.

[@Alexander_Martin]

Saturday Night Dead...

[@Dan-fu8nb]

The writer's at SNL can pat themselves on the back thinking they have come up with something funny but truth be known they haven't had anything funny for years SNL stands for Sorry No Laughs

[@IvanKosta-dv5mw]

So nobody noticed the subtle tongue in cheek references to $R$MP TOWER ??? The gold wall decorations, the pretentious man of German background needing a new rich wife because of his financial troubles, moaning that if anything happened to his precious TOWER he would kill himself, and that he would still be admired by his devotees even if he’d kill somebody in plain sight ? Clearly a ridiculous poseur !🤣

[@straightestface1]

Oh sara was behind this unfunny shit. Shocking.

[@user-ci9gx9xl5s]

Why don't you Americans talk about the massacres Israel is doing in Palestine and Gaza?

[@lawsoncabell]

This video is about a comedy sketch. Perhaps you thought you were posting elsewhere.

[@MegaFlower50]

Uggh..not that great. Not really funny...just kind of gross

[@thefilthelement]

I don't understand why people think this sketch was funny, but I guess it's not for everyone

[@61Slughi]

I dunno, that was a lot of time and expense for something moderately funny.

[@MrV1776]

snl. zero comic effect. zero originality. just people watching and hoping for something funny to happen. is kenan still there??? why??? definitely a sign that no one else i wants this current generation of SNL “comics”.

[@kooale]

U sad!

[@bobdick815]

No show again? People only work like 6 months a year? And arent funny most the time, what bullshit.
