Live, from New York, it’s … facial hair!
Before Michaels left the show in 1980, one more mustached cast member would be added: Don Novello, who forever will be linked to the dark-black caterpillar at the center of his and Father Guido Sarducci’s face. Tracy Morgan, Jerry Minor, Finesse Mitchell, and Jay Pharoah are exceptions, but they all shaved for impersonations; Kyle Mooney sometimes had stubble in pre-taped sketches, but generally was clean-shaven during live segments. It’s scrappy and exciting, whereas a lot of SNL over the past decade, particularly the cold opens, have felt like a group of people doing homework — something serious everyone must get through for the good of the nation.
