Zuwop Johnson could you explain why is this funny? Is there some backstory?

[@krisniiran]

John Mulaney created the Stefon character with Bill Hader. John always loved it whenever Bill would break character during the skits, so he used to try to throw him off by replacing some of his lines on the cue cards at the last minute so he'd be reading a joke for the first time. Since John no longer works there and Bill invited him to come do this cameo character, John decided to just say something ridiculous to throw him off again.

[@YourMajesty143]

@@elenat.3968 - "A Closer Look" is a political segment that Seth Meyers does on his current late night talk show. Seth used to be the news correspondent on SNL's "Weekend Update" and he'd continuously invite Stefon, where they would both shamelessly flirt. Stefon attempts to do "A Closer Look" here and is asked why he's doing Seth's bit. Stefon insinuates that they roleplay (sexually). So instead of Seth being on top and Stefon being under the desk, the roles are reversed. It's meant to be a tongue-in-cheek joke at Seth's expense. If you're confused about what one of them would be doing under the desk, let's just say that one would be giving an "oral" presentation. It's a dirty joke.

"You can't say midget on TV." "Well I sure would like to." And he still didn't.

[@katiehart7108]

That little shrug at 4:54 kills me.

[@tiffanynaing6710]

I love how he can't handle his own jokes.

[@muraddiab6393]

Tiffany Naing They're John Mulaney's jokes

[@tiffanynaing6710]

They work on them together.

[@muraddiab6393]

Tiffany Naing Except for the ones Mulaney sneaks in without letting bill know

[@music4real]

They aren't his jokes - when he's doing Stefon he's reading them for the first time which is why he breaks up most of the time. They are primarily written by John Mulaney.

[@Jeff-yz3on]

That's what makes this bit so awesome.

[@MitchellFace]

I love how weirdly dressed and described Shy is, but his voice and mannerisms are just John Mulaney.

[@mistabook]

Apparently in rehearsal he just said "Hi" in a quiet and effeminate voice, but when they did it live he went full Mulaney and that's why Hader cracked up.

[@TakeThisification]

5:43 "My girlfriend works at Yoshinoya Beef Bowl."

[@HardwiredMC]

To add more context, Bill's actual girlfriend works there and John knows that

[@BrianSmith-ix3ns]

+HardwiredMC that is too much contextualizing for this Trumpanzeeboy...thinkin' done hurt my head and groin

[@golisanjiv]

NO.... he said "my girlfriend blew me bc she's on her period"

[@maisiehenderson4488]

@@golisanjiv NO... Bill told us what he said in an interview which was my gf works at yoshinoya beef bowl

[@ashishdhingra8034]

Watch Barry. In one episode a character says to bill that he is hungry and for lunch he wants to go to Yoshinoya Beef Bowl.

[@JesusPulledMeThrough]

This was golden. Having Mulaney come out just took it to another level. Great to see great talents just having fun & entertaining us as well.

[@weasley2o13]

I love that he just gave up at some point and was just enjoying the moment instead of fighting for staying in character when he's simply not up to it. I think it's brave and it definitely works. There's a certain magic in letting go and just being in moments like these.

[@katerocks82196]

Considering how Bill Hader has spoken out about his issues with anxiety and stage fright, it's also just a huge victory for Bill Hader, personally. I can't imagine how liberating it must have felt to finally go out onstage and just not care about messing up or about what the audience thinks.

[@KaitTheHalfDuckie]

"If you're Irish or just white and violent" I lost it there oh my goshhhhhh

[@onceinabluemoon593]

"Please, call me by your name." LOL. Damn, Bill Hader is hilarious!

[@Cash5YR]

"Moonlight. La La Land." Is hands down my favorite moment from SNL.

[@TheZarbear]

This is more advertising than Roman J. Israel, Esq. ever received during it's initial run in theaters. Also: Mulaney!!!

[@dillynnstandeford2043]

His laughing makes it all the more funny 😂😂

[@GUITARTIME2024]

Dillynn Summers just like your sex life!

[@mateuszwasiak]

That CVS part was also great. Former CVS that became a Chase Bank and then a CVS again!

[@ForNoOne1]

I'd kill to know what Mulaney whispered into his ear. It's starts with "My girlfriend..." but that's all I could catch

[@blotter-water]

And John is married, so he just admitted on national TV that he is creating on his wife. Wow.

[@tonypeppercorn3818]

I got up to "My girlfriend looks at pictures". It makes the cameo even funnier when you realize Mulaney wrote it just so he could have one extra opportunity to make Bill fuck up.

[@briarevans704]

The more I listen to it, the more I hear, "my girlfriend looks at pictures of my penis.."

[@subman23]

Alex Kime You....do know John was portraying a character named Shy, right? John is married; the character he is portraying is the one with a girlfriend. John's an actor, not an adulterer. Wow

[@jackiesingleton2351]

ForNoOne1,,,, I really thought he said "...my brother..." but yeah I have no idea, whatever it was it seems that Bill was not expecting it, based on his reaction. P

[@cobra9593]

I miss Stefon so much!

[@tansywoods8947]

cobra9 he hasn't aged at ALL, it's weird.

[@megan-815]

[@draked8802]

I love the fact that Mulaneys writing style is so obvious. They way he builds his jokes and continues them is so distinctive.

[@dannytheman1313]

Last time it was Dan Cortez that made him crack now its Roman J Israel Esq... Whoever makes up the cards to get him to break is brilliant.

[@gregburton8540]

dannytheman1313 The guy who played Shy, the lawyer, is John Mullaney and he's the writer of all the Stefon bits.

[@dannytheman1313]

Dude is brilliant

[@francescalbaines]

"I don't trust any dog whose stomach touches the ground"

[@gailflemming7455]

I don't know why I laughed so hard at that part. His voice was just hilarious. And then his look afterward lol

[@francescalbaines]

Gail Flemming it was kinda cute and funny how he lowered his voice while saying it.

[@gailflemming7455]

yeah!! :)

[@nebulousisgod]

Weirdest joke of the night

[@sherylsimmons8111]

He even found it wierd when he said it by the look on his face afterward. He gave it a thought.Too funny! Love him!

[@UnderTheTableGremlin]

“God. Thank you, Shy.” Kills me every time. Stefon is the best.

[@dustypope3571]

I'm convinced this is a live action madlib.

[@bakersupreme2010]

Dusty Pope And You would not be wrong for thinking that at all, because John Mulaney designed for it to be a live, crazy, off-the-cuff 'Mad Lid' Reading by Bill Hader. John Mulaney-the real mastermind behind making the Jokes for the 'Stefon' Sketch-is notorious for throwing Bill off-course with His last-minute Lines that Bill is actually reading for the first time as He sees them on the Cue Cards that John has just changed-up on Him! Whenever You see Bill crack up, then You'll know that John was involved! He said this when He was on 'Late Night With Seth Myers'.

[@dustypope3571]

bakersupreme2010 That's cool. I love John Mulaney.

[@harrisonia]

I was like: if Bill Hader hosts SNL, he HAS to do a Stefon appearance on Weekend Update! So glad he did! Was (and still is) hella funny! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣

[@BrianSmith-ix3ns]

I can't ever get my fill of Bill

[@brianawolf6309]

Damn imagine if Seth just came out from under the desk at the end😂

[@EthalaRide]

Stefon and Shy need to be a couples costume this Halloween!

[@maddieB2023]

You mean Stefon and Seth Meyers.

[@brianmccauley3267]

What a cool idea.

[@Love4Pop]

I'm happy to know Seth and Stefon are still going strong ;D LOL ♥

[@trishgift7959]

I love how Colin and Michael don't even bother trying to not laugh.

[@CronoXpono]

That La-La land bit made me pause the video 😂 that shit was fucking priceless 🤦‍♂️ 😂 😂

I hope Seth Meyers talks about it on Monday night. that was just freakin hysterical pretty funny stuff Stefan you're awesome I know you won't be back but it was great to see it!!!! SNL rocks .... DRS.

[@OvSpP]

Donald Storm I hope Stefon is on late night on Monday.

[@RichardX1]

I thought I heard on a Late Night promo that Hader was going to be one of this week's guests.

[@aidanyelsma7762]

I would bet $1000 that he will be.

[@moncorp1]

Who watches his horrible show?????
