19 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Sarah Sherman pitched a sketch where her body was a musical instrument.
- The 'Human Instrument' sketch was a disaster at the table read.
- Sherman is a cast member on Saturday Night Live since 2021.
Sarah Sherman, a cast member on Saturday Night Live since 2021, recently recounted a sketch idea that spectacularly failed. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, she detailed her "Human Instrument" concept.
The sketch involved Sherman's body being transformed into a bizarre musical apparatus, complete with a keyboard on her chest and a harp near her knee. She collaborated with staff writers, believing the idea to be brilliant.
However, the execution at the table read proved to be a disaster, so much so that Sherman has avoided naming the character. Despite this setback, her tenure on SNL has been marked by many successful and memorable contributions.
