Fey & Fallon's SNL UK Trip: Surreal & Strange
2 Jun
Summary
- Fey found SNL UK surreal, like a dream version of the original.
- British actors were initially hesitant to join SNL UK.
- Fallon encountered a film director named Will Farrell, not a comedian.
Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon recently recounted their surreal experiences appearing on "Saturday Night Live UK." Fey, who hosted the show's first episode, described the atmosphere as dreamlike, with familiar "SNL" elements presented in an altered way.
She explained that initially, few British actors were willing to join the cast, but the successful premiere led to easier booking of hosts. Fallon echoed Fey's sentiments, noting the disorienting effect of seeing people in familiar roles with different names and accents.
Fallon humorously recalled an encounter with a film unit director named Will Farrell, whose name similarity to Will Ferrell caught him off guard. Despite the strangeness, both comedians expressed nostalgia for the "SNL" environment and the collaborative energy they shared.
