SNL cut another big cameo from Martin Short’s Christmas episode
Saturday Night Live spoiled its audience with a cameo-packed episode hosted by Martin Short to close out 2024. But if it wasn’t for time restrictions, another big-name cameo would have been added to the list.
The cold open kicked things off by officially inducting Short into the Five Timers Club. Tom Hanks, Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Paul Rudd, John Mulaney, Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, and Jimmy Fallon all showed up to start the show. Lorne Michaels and Dana Carvey also popped up later in the episode.
A cut-for-time sketch prevented actress Lucy Liu from officially making a cameo during the episode. But thankfully, Saturday Night Live added the sketch online for all to enjoy.
Martin Short stars as the Grinch in the Dr. Seuss parody. The scene stars pretty slow and is more impressive for the production value than any of the comedy.
However, that quickly changes…
This past weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live featured a star-studded lineup with Martin Short as the host. However, fans were left disappointed when it was revealed that another big cameo had been cut from the show.
According to sources close to the production, a surprise appearance from none other than Tina Fey was originally planned for the episode. Fey, who has a long history of appearing on SNL and has worked with Short in the past, was set to make a cameo during one of the sketches.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints and the fast-paced nature of live television, Fey’s appearance was ultimately cut from the final broadcast. While it’s always a bummer to miss out on seeing such a talented comedian on screen, fans can take solace in the fact that Short’s episode was still a hit with plenty of laughs to go around.
Here’s hoping that Fey’s cameo will make its way onto the internet eventually, so fans can still enjoy the reunion between these two comedy legends. In the meantime, we can only imagine the hilarity that could have ensued with Fey and Short sharing the stage once again.
