SNL actor that caused a strict wardrobe rule for the whole acting

“On Saturday evening,” as the name implies, mostly live shows, which means it is important that everything goes according to the plan in live sketches. This means that there is no serious improvisation without missing the signal and not accidentally blinks the camera. Therefore it makes sense that the show has a rule that actors should wear underwear all the time, of course they don’t make a pre -set sketch about Very revealing style of men’s jeans.

Even if the character in their sketch wears underwear, the actors often carry real underwear. This was the case in a recent sketch (look below) with Heidi Gardner, where her hero was in ancient, exaggerated bra, but you can see another bra under him, which remains not handed over by other characters. Reflections for this precaution become clear at the end of the sketch, where Globe, which is stuck on Heidi’s head, falls off before he needs. If the props of the globe falls off and opens his head, it is just a fun misfortune; When the bra llames and there is no other clothing under it, the show gets a fine.

But the real cause of the underwear “SNL” had less accidental impact Dear Acting Participant John Belush Going teams during the variable wardrobes. Former Snl Costume Designer Frenny Lee, who worked on the show from the first days, explained in 2021 interview Why she once Put the sign in the studio hall 8H Reading“All actors should wear underwear on Sunday. That means you!”

The bottom line was that the acting participants often have to experience rapid change of costume between sketches. John Belushi apparently did not carry underwear during the show, so the wardrobe team constantly had to see him naked, and it made them uncomfortable. Diplomatic French Lee decided to put up a sign told all The actors who wore underwear, although the sign was really just a gigantic departure toward Belush.

Although he became convinced that the participants of the acting were in the underwear at the time at the exhibition, since then there were many cases where the rule was not necessarily violated, but certainly was a little bent. Once upon a time, Will Ferrell made a sketch where his hero is dressed in a thong, decorated with an American flag, and under it there was no underwear, leaving very little imagination to the audience. Leading episode, Shen William Scott, who was shot with a ferreel in this sketch, once Jokingly remembering the scene“I got a little idea of ​​the penis and the testicles of Will, who plays in Peekaboo, how things are … I’ll wake up from cold sweat, and I will have Ferrell Nutsack Flashbacks.”

Another thing we’ve learned for years is that the rule of underwear cannot apply to music guests. This can explain why Casey Music Music was able to sing a song In the nakedOnly with a few boots and her guitar to keep the censors. “She was naked”, a publicist of the Masgravs confirmed by a variety Shortly after. “Precautions were taken and it was the first time it happened at the exhibition.”

Of course, for the most part, the “SNL” acting seems to have remained a true rule, even in pre -imposed sketches. My personal favorite is probably “Naked and afraid“Thumbnail from Leslie Jones and Peter Dynclage who took in 2016. The sketch uses the blur effect to do it as they are both nude, but in its first stage, Leslie immediately tuns up underwear and kills all the illusion. But hey, at least, Jones put on his underwear as soon as Franie Lee insisted. The sketch itself can make a joke about how convincing it, but Jones in real life was at least a step above Belush.
