‘SNL’ Releases Blooper Reel Featuring Donald Glover, Gal Gadot and More From Latest Season
Saturday Night Live has released a video of bloopers from its latest season, the show’s 43rd, on Tuesday (July 17).
“Cue hissy fits in 3,2,1,” says Tracy Morgan at beginning of the blooper reel. A number of clips feature celebrity guest hosts — including Will Ferrell, Gal Gadot, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Charles Barkley, Kevin Hart, Donald Glover, Bill Hader, Tiffany Haddish and Saoirse Ronan — messing up their lines and breaking character to laugh while filming prerecorded sketches.
A memorable guest host featured in the blooper reel is Barkley. While filming a number of sketches, the NBA legend is seen becoming frustrated and shouting “fuck” when messing up his lines.
Other stars took their mistakes better than Barkley. Glover, who is nominated for an Emmy for his turn as guest host, appears in the blooper reel for the sketch “A Kanye Place.” While filming the sketch, he breaks out of character to laugh. The same thing happens in another clip for the “Friendos” sketch as Glover, Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd break into a hysterical laughter while filming.
The blooper reel concludes with a behind-the-scenes look at the “Welcome to Hell” sketch, which aired during Ronan’s episode. As Ronan, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Leslie Jones sing the closing note of the parody song about sexual harassment, the women break out into laughter.
A number of SNL cast members are also featured throughout the blooper reel. In outtakes for “Doctor’s Orders,” Pete Davidson laughs when saying, “Nice.” Another blooper features McKinnon and Bryant in “The Dolphin Who Learned to Speak.” Throughout the sketch, McKinnon questions why a dolphin would say “Despacito” to her. She said, “Which is funny because we weren’t teaching him Spanish at all.”
