Summary
- Sarah Sherman suffered a bleeding injury from a quick costume change.
- The incident involved ripping off an owl costume too quickly.
- Kenan Thompson shared his favorite costume as Panthro from ThunderCats.
Sarah Sherman, a cast member on Saturday Night Live since 2021, detailed a "workplace hazard" involving a costume at the show. During a panel at New York Comic Con, Sherman, 33, shared that she sustained a bleeding injury due to a quick change.
Sherman recounted having to exit an owl costume "too fast" for an upcoming sketch, resulting in her face bleeding from the forceful removal. She humorously referred to it as a "workplace hazard."
Her appearance as Flaco the Owl's widow on the March 30, 2024, episode gained attention following the real-life story of Flaco, an escaped Eurasian eagle-owl that became a media sensation in New York City in early 2023.
Also featured on the panel was Kenan Thompson, who reflected on his "ultimate favorite" costume from his 23-year tenure on SNL. He highlighted the Panthro costume, worn during Chadwick Boseman's 2018 hosting appearance, where he portrayed Panthro claiming to be the original Black Panther.
