Jon Hamm Recalls Being ‘Naked’ With Kristen Wiig While Hosting ‘SNL’: ‘They Literally Rip Your Clothes Off’

Jon Hamm Recalls the Time He Saw Kristen Wiig ‘Naked’ While She Hosted Saturday Night Live.

In Variety « Actors of the Actors series, the Bridesmaids The co-stars sat down to discuss their respective projects, as well as their most memorable moments from SNL.

“The fun part of SNL – one time I was a host, and we both had quick shifts next to each other. And you say, ‘Get ready,’ and then we’re both naked,” Hamm, who hosted the sketch series three times between 2008 and 2010, told Wiig. “They literally rip your clothes off. You just have to go. »

He added: “(You see) all the pieces. It’s good. It’s only annoying because you have to submit to it. You are a real model.

However, Hamm wasn’t the only one at Studio 8H who saw Wiig naked.

The actress, who was a regular cast member of SNL from 2005 to 2012, joined the Five-Timers Club when she hosted the show for the fifth time in April of this year. According to the star, Kenan Thompson also got an eyeful while they were in the middle of a quick change.

“The last time I came back, I had a quick change,” she said. “They were undressing me, I looked and Kenan was doing the same thing. I was like, ‘Oh, we’ve seen each other.’

Hamm, for his part, also made a surprise appearance during Wiig’s latest hosting gig, which he assumed was “extremely emotional” for the comedian.

“I was so emotional that week,” Wiig confirmed. “I cried during the reading, I sobbed after the reading and I just didn’t want to cry on air. And I didn’t really do it, even though it was one of the most emotional nights of my life.

She continued: “And then with Five-Timers, I found myself getting a little emotional at the end. I still can’t even explain why. The other times I’ve hosted, it’s weird to go back, to see the other side of the curtain.
