The Night the SNL Audience Hilariously Flung the Script
Share
The latest "Saturday Night Live" episode delivered a memorable moment, not from an off-the-cuff comedian, but from the live audience. During Ego Nwodim's "Weekend Update" segment, where she embodied her "Ms. Eggy" persona to mock the White House Correspondents' Dinner controversy, an unscripted interaction took center stage. After a joke about Cory Booker, Nwodim's prompt, "These men ain't what?", was met with a unanimous and uncensored "Shit" from the crowd. The unexpected outburst stunned Nwodim, who recovered with humorous remarks about fines and Lorne Michaels. While the live broadcast captured the profanity, later versions were muted.
