‚Saturday Night Live’s makeup designer Louie Zakarian and hairstylist Jodi Mancuso revealed that the ‚Beavis and Butt-Head‘ sketch had first been pitched in 2018.
Saturday Night Live‘s Beavis and Butt-Head sketch, starring Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day as the iconic cartoon characters, generated a ton of fan buzz. However, the sketch had long been in the works, and could have even featured another celebrity host.
The hit sketch comedy series’ makeup designer Louie Zakarian and hairstylist Jodi Mancuso spoke with The Ankler about the sketch, and revealed that it had first been proposed in 2018.
Zakarian added, “With Jonah Hill.”
Hill, who has hosted the show five times, had hosted the Nov. 3, 2018 episode with musical guest Maggie Rogers.
“Even at that time it was late coming into the show, so there wasn’t a lot of prep time and I wasn’t fully happy with the wigs,” Mancuso explained. “Then I think we tried it again, and again I wasn’t happy with it. So we fully gave up on it, this is not going to happen. Then they pitched it again and I was like, well, we’re going to make this right.”
She said that Day and Streeter Seidell “wanted the same exact wigs as the first time,” but she stood her ground, arguing that they needed “to make them a little more human.
