In sketch comedy, "breaking" is when a performer can't hold it together and laughs in the middle of a scene.
Bill Hader worked hard not to break. He rehearsed his lines obsessively and apologized when he cracked up. But his friend and SNL writing partner, John Mulaney, saw Hader’s discipline as a creative challenge. So right before Stefon went live, Mulaney would sneak brand-new jokes onto the cue cards, and Hader saw them for the first time on air.
Hader said the one that got him hardest was this Halloween episode.
Every time Stefon laughed, we were watching Mulaney prank Hader. I love that! 💛

One of the owners of Peanut the Squirrel, whose euthanasia became a rallying call against government overreach from J.D. Vance and other MAGA in 2024, is now locked in ICE detention because her citizen husband failed to file the right paperwork on time. You can't make that up.
This is gonna sound factual bc it’s true. Usually is the woman caring for the aging man. Don’t like the concept either way? I suggest you get a divorce now. You’re not marriage material!
