Former SNL star Tony Rosato dead at 62.

Dude went through some weird poo poo near the end.

Oddly enough I had literally never heard of him before I saw him mentioned in an article yesterday as one of the few cast members born outside of North America.

Very sad life but IMO he was the worst cast member in SNL history by a country mile. He thought he'd be the next Belushi and all he'd have to do is overact in every single thing he was in.

Couple weeks late replying, but who cares. They got far closer to failing on live tv on this clip than what happened with Emma Stone when I was there. They still had a good 15 seconds to spare for mine.

"Who cares" about what? It's a great clip and a great testament to their crew. They may have felt a slight tinge of defensiveness and needing to explain why a crew member was clearly visible on the live broadcast, feeling like they wanted to show why he was there, but I think that probably pales when compared to their earnest pride in what they do. It's just a quick peek at a great crew.

Strength and speed, that's why you're a special agent.
I honestly never even noticed the crew member during the show

Your mother!

So is the 12:55 sketch pre-taped, then? I didn't realize the studio was that small (I figured the opening sketch was done on a side stage or something), there's no way that the host and cast can get out of costume in the four seconds between the end of the last sketch and the hugathon to close the show.

For my episode, the 12:55 sketch was the weird virgin mary scene and it was on the right side on the floor. Most people just stayed in costume and walked to the main stage to hug it out. Emma Stone looked self conscious and ran off as fast as possible to change clothes.

If it's presented as live (that is, it's not obviously a filmed piece,) then it's live

Funny you bring this up. Until 1998, the last internal break (the one you're talking about, between the last sketch and the goodnights,) was 2 minutes. In 1998 it was shortened to 1:30, and with the start of the this season, it's been further shortened to 1:15.

Carrie Fisher episode from '78 is on tonight before the new episode.
