Over the years, the Weekend Update desk has become one of SNL’s longest mainstay segments, seeing a range of comedians take on the anchor role as they welcome cast mates and celebrity hosts as guests—including the late Gilda Radner’s newscaster Rosanne Rosannadana and more recently Bill Hader’s correspondent Stefon.
The long-running bit saw the Barry star—who was not in attendance for the anniversary—come on to reveal New York City’s newest and “hottest clubs.” Among the many clubs Stefon promoted over four seasons was Maaaaary, “Opened in 1997 by missing Florida woman Lisa Martinez, this club is currently going 90 miles per hour down the West Side Highway.”
According to the promoter, whose love story with then-anchor Seth also played out during his appearances, this club had everything, including, “Charts, graphs, PowerPoint, a guy who still thinks Jamba Juice is good for you. And if you liked Russell Crowe in Les Misérables, you might want to hear Jasper the gorilla pass a kidney stone!”
