John Mulaney, Simon Rich Recall Failed ‘SNL’ Sketch Cut By Seth Meyers Spoofing Cash 4 Gold Ads


John Mulaney and Simon Rich recalled a failed 'SNL' sketch spoofing Cash 4 Gold featuring Bill Hader and Kenan Thompson, which was cut by Seth Meyers.

Meyers admitted that he recently re-read the script, which also features Kenan Thompson in an audience role asking questions like: “How will you get the money?” and Hader responding, “There’s a man here who made a deal. Elsewhere during the interview, the trio discussed a sketch that did make it on air: “Switcheroo,” written in 2009, was a Freaky Friday-esque father-son body-swap comedy — with “psychosexual” implications of what that would be like, featuring a theme song with the lyrics: “Son goes to work / Dad goes to school / The son has sex with the mom / What they gonna do? The two also discussed an aired sketch called “Noodles the Dog” featuring Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig, in which the actors play parents who explain to their children that their pet died via autoerotic asphyxiation.
