Mikey Day Explains Why That Beavis & Butt-Head Sketch Left Heidi Gardner In Stitches


Saturday Night Live's Mikey Day explains why Heidi Gardner couldn't get through last month's Beavis and Butt-Head sketch without laughing.

On Late Night With Seth Meyers this week, Day recalled the sketch, which co-starred Ryan Gosling as the Beavis look-alike, and how the dress rehearsal, though the two were in full costume, didn’t have quite the oomph as the on-air version. Gardner, as millions of viewers have seen, was playing a NewsNation host moderating a town hall who doesn’t realize that two men with uncanny resemblances to the cartoon duo are in the audience. Day told Meyers, “At dress, the wig was a little far forward so on air there was just more head, and it felt like my face was more…” He paused, maybe unable to quite describe the power of the bizarre resemblance.
