A queer history of Saturday Night Live???

For reasons I still do not understand, the idea popped into my head: "What if you did an exploration of LGBTQ representation on Saturday Night Live?" And then knowing full well it would be a ton of work, I decided to make this happen, and the new season of my podcast, Gayest Episode Ever, is kicking off its new season with a two-part overview of LGBTQ-focused recurring sketches that have run over the 48 seasons so far.

This first two-part episode will cover all the sketches you see in this video, and then in the coming months we'll be doing deep dives into the various eras of the show, starting with the original "Not Ready for Prime Time" era and talk about all the LGBTQ-focused one-offs.

It's kind of a lot? And historically SNL hasn't been great with queer characters, but it's nonetheless interesting to look at what was happening in society and on the set of the show when some of these not-so-great depictions ended up on TV.

And you can see all the clips, in full, on the Gayest Episode Ever Patreon.

This debate has everything, dog-eating immigrants, transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison, post-birth abortions, the concepts of a plan.

I scrolled through all of Seth’s ama answers just to see this in person. I feel like a detective, an explorer some would say

our stefon story

hey, seth! can i talk to you for a second? sure thing lorne, what’s up? great. so basically i’m a little worried about the st patrick’s day sketch. oh why is that, lorne?

by the way the writing style is like to recall clarice lispector, william s. burroughs, james joyce, and SHAKESPEARE. because it’s a play. and mindy kaling, because she wrote matt and ben.

oh why is that lorne? glad you asked. seth–your character–who is YOU–is not supposed to kiss stefon. you are supposed to kindly accept it but you are not supposed to kiss back. kiss back? i don’t think i kissed back. Yes you did. really? i didn’t think i was. like, i just was acting like seth meyers normally would. i’m supposed to be myself, right? look, that’s fine, but you can’t be too gay on tv. i already agreed to let you have the wedding next year, but we have to do it in the edit. seth meyers can’t show reciprocal affection on television, we have to gay-bait the audience!

wait, i just don’t understand. i was just sitting there. i didn’t kiss him. ummm yeah we’ll see about that. roll the tape!!!

(the tape plays and it shows seth and stefon making out for five minutes while the director yells cut and john mulaney taps them on the shoulder and asks them to stop. ��this isn’t in my script,” he says with his broad nasal sound from st ignatius high school).

seth runs out of the building. “oh fuck!” he thinks. “i didn’t do that, did i?” he screams to the sky. I LOVE MY FIANCÉ! I KNOW SHE WILL GIVE BIRTH VERY FASR IN THE LOBBY, HOSPITAL, AND MY BATHRUB!

STEFON exits the theatre, and approaches seth

STEFON: Hey baby. are you okay?

SETH: No. Why are you calling me baby

STEFON: I always call you baby when we’re not on set. See?

STEFON shows SETH a voice memo on his phone.

STEFON (V.O.): Hi baby, I just wanted to send you a voice memo cause i’m walk to the club right now but i really think you should come through, because you would love the dancing lion drag show tonight. It’s at Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round. and the password is Row row row you boat. I love you baby I love dating you I want to get serious in this abandoned meat factory.

SETH: Oh god, the fucking meat factory.

STEFON: Are you remembering?

SETH: YES. IT HURTS.

STEFON: you always forget me, and i always have to remind you who we are.

SETH: …

SETH (Cont.): Do I love you?

STEFON: I don’t know.

STEFON puts his hands to his face. SETH grabs them and holds them.

SETH: I think I do.

30 Rockefeller Plaza gleams above them. Tourists gaze on

TOURIST: I love my new Iphone 3

STEFON and SETH stop kissing.

TOURIST: Hey Are you guys Sethon? Can I have an autograph?

SETH and STRFON nod. They grab the pen and sign a hundred dollar bill while holding the pen at the same time. they write MRS SETHON MEYERS <3

TOURIST NOW KNOWN AS GAY TOURIST: I love you guys, your romance is so special to the community. it made my dog less homophobic to me. she loves “your mother and i are separating.”

SETH: Thanks. I’m still learning. I actually haven’t left my woman yet, and I don’t intend to, But it’s okay.

SETH looks at STEFON.

STEFON: I guess so.

SETH: I don’t know what to do.

STEFON: I can’t blame you. I also have another boyfriend.

SETH: Did our lovemaking trip mean nothing to you?

They share a meaningful look.

STEFON: Let’s dance it out.

SETH: Toure right. let’s go to WEEE LITTLE BAAABY

to be cringe is to be free or whatever

I realized I was bi at age 11 and realized I was trans at age 13, so when I watched the Stefon skits at age 12, it was unfortunately formative to my identity as a queer man. And I turned out almost exactly as you’d expect

Ten Years of Seth and Stefon❤️

also adding to the Meeting seth meyers saga: when my friends and i saw his meyers/oliver show my friend was dressed in shy cosplay and i was dressed up as stefon. like i fully copped the exact ed hardy shirt online and everything. so like. i met seth meyers in stefon cosplay. can't fuck up a first impression when meeting that old man you have a love hate relationship with so you go to his comedy show dressed as his husband (fictional)

[readingmatters]

Bill Hader's Stefon might be my favourite SNL character - full disclosure, I don’t live in the US, and have watched very little of the show, mostly clips on YouTube, usually after some sketch is mentioned in a news article because of its take on a topical issue.

Thrilled to discover a collection of every Stefon appearance on YouTube.
