By this level, metropolis correspondent Stefon is a Saturday Night Live legend. His obsession with hyper-specific fetishes and holding his palms to his face made “Weekend Update” a must-watch phase within the late 2000s. Bill Hader’s indelible character spilled the tea on New York’s hottest golf equipment and inevitably made “Weekend Update” host Seth Meyers’ life a lot worse by by no means giving usable recommendation. That relationship was anticipated to hold on to the large display, as all SNL characters should once they attain a stage of cultural ubiquitousness. It’s how we find yourself with It’s Pat. The system works.
Obviously, Stefon by no means made the bounce to the large display, which is sweet information for Meyers, who would’ve been killed off within the first scene. Appearing on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’ Las Culturistas podcast, Meyers mentioned the script for the now-defunct Stefon film. More importantly, he would’ve been a bridge that helped join the world of Weekend Update to the world of the movie. All he needed to do was die, or so Meyers pitched to Hader.
“There was a second in time the place the thought of a Stefon script was being mentioned,” Meyers mentioned. But the comic knew he wouldn’t be Stefon’s sidekick within the movie and wanted to be written out.
I mentioned, right here’s how I feel it ought to begin: It ought to begin with Stefon at ‘Weekend Update,’ and when it’s over, I’m as soon as once more dissatisfied that as the town correspondent, he didn’t carry no matter St. Patrick’s Day suggestions. And he says, ‘To make it as much as you, simply come out, have an evening me and also you collectively, Stefon’s New York.’ And I’m like, ‘All proper, one evening.’ And then you definitely would do these tremendous quick cuts of he and I in any respect these loopy golf equipment. That could be the opening montage, after which it could finish with me in a physique bag, and Stefon would say, ‘He’s lifeless!’ Then the splash: Stefon: The Movie.
Of course, none of this ever occurred. Seth Meyers by no means died after an evening out with Stefon. In truth, within the present’s lore, Stefon and Seth discovered happiness in one another. In his final look, the pair even received married. We can solely assume that Seth and Stefon Meyers are nonetheless fortunately collectively to this present day.
