Props to the lighting rig guys that set up that brilliant time lapse shot. They probably had to write a timing algorithm get the lights to do that.

[@Levacque]

Oh, light boards sort of have those "algorithms" written already. Each light cue (anytime they change) will have specific parameters like times to come in and out, whether that cue is independent or tied to another, that sort of thing. For this, they'd build some day and night looks, duplicate them and set cue numbers for them, then set the cues to auto-follow one another. Actually, they may have just called each day-to night cue manually while waiting for Anna to do her costume change.

[@NewhamMatt]

What was Lorne Michaels thinking, letting Taran Killam go? This guy's hilarious!

[@rockethearse]

Came to say this exact thing. But he kept Leslie Jones, and worse, far worse, the utterly talentless Pete Davidson, whose only two characters are the "Uh-kay" guy and....well, Pete Davidson. Terrible.

[@noahhurley-abelew6536]

Didn't like him, but ^

[@rockfireman2943]

Agreed. I don't have much of a problem with Pete, though I agree with you that he doesn't have much going for him, but Leslie Jones is the worst cast member. She breaks so often and messes up her lines a fair amount. It's so unprofessional and annoying, and most of what she does I don't find funny.

[@Dmac911]

I believe Leslie Jones and Pete are writers on the show. It's not all about being on screen.

[@rockfireman2943]

True, but if you're going to be on screen, you should be doing it right.

[@MyLateralThawts]

The real Big Joe was a man named Angus MacAskill (7’ 9”) who could lift an anchor weighing over a ton. Not very funny, but fascinating, as he was the tallest non-pathological giant in the world and quite the celebrity during his time.

[@below90hz]

Thank you for an interesting read. 👍

[@cathydiane2558]

“Tallest non pathological giant in the world.” I’m not sure how I’d feel if I had that title

[@maxweinberg7]

The "Giant MacAskill Museum" was established in 1989 at Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye and is operated there by a community group, this museum having several replicated artifacts from the Englishtown museum. It is managed by Peter MacAskill, father of the street trials cycle rider Danny MacAskill.
