New York's hottest time-suck is watching the official compilation of every single Stefon SNL sketch
Aux Features snl
As a wise, wide-eyed, almost undoubtedly MDMA-fueled man once said, “Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes.” It appears that NBCUniversal has released a 5-part compilation of every inspired SNL appearance from Bill Hader’s Stefon—Weekend Update’s longtime “City Correspondent” and, we still presume, husband to Seth Meyers. Forgive us, but…this compilation has everything. Literally. From Stefon’s debut alongside Ben Affleck in a sketch about two brothers with very different ideas for film pitches, all the way up to Hader’s post-cast member visits next to Colin Jost and Michael Che, aka “Mitt and Barack.”
The entire series basically clocks in at around a feature-length film, so strap in on this fall day for Furbies, kufi hats, MTV’s Dan Cortez, and, of course, the Jewish Dracula himself, Sidney Applebaum.

I wonder why SNL hasn’t put every episode online in full.
Because they made a lot of embarrassing crap, even in the earliest days.
“If you’re some dumb folks, just looking to get MURDERED, this club is for YOU”That line is branded on my brain and I laugh anytime I think of it.
I am with you. That line breaks me every time I see it.
Hee. Mine is “If you’re Irish, or just white and violent….”
Yes, that’s another great one.
Thanks. I’m struggling to stop chuckling to myself and now my wife thinks I’m crazy.
New York’s hottest club is The AV. Opened by Hulk Hogan’s vengeful ghost and his vampire pal, it has everything: Freaks, Geeks, and that weird sucking sound made by your affiliated sister sites shutting down one after the other.
I thought the Gizpocalypse was already upon us earlier tonight when I couldn’t get any io9 stories to load.
Sidney Applebaum is both my favorite Stefon punchline and also my favorite Bill Hader break.
It is a perfect joke!
i wish they’d do a supercut of Che’s optimistic neighbor, Willie
Who told you what I did this weekend?
Your mother and I are separating….
After some of the bizarre Woke Discourse about Stefon I’ve seen this year (like claims that the point was to humiliate and degrade gay men and depict them as pointlessly pining after straight men…never mind that they get married and possibly even have children), I’m glad that people can see the full slate of sketches for themselves. Some aspects have not aged well, of course, but the quips, Hader’s performance, and his interplay with Seth Meyers remain priceless.
I appreciate the work even more once I heard that Hader did not get to see the text on the cue cards before performing the bit. John Delaney made it his personal quest to make Hader break up each time.
Did someone say… John Delaney?
With extra emphasis on the word ‘suck’.
Thank you!
One of the only SNL properties that makes me start giggling just thinking about it.
Death to all degenerates.
