Saturday Night Liveās Mikey Day understands why Heidi Gardner couldnāt get through last monthās now infamous Beavis and Butt-Head sketch: His Butt-Head face was just too much to take in all at once.
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, didnāt 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 doesnāt realize that two men with uncanny resemblances to the cartoon duo are in the audience.
When Gardner turned around to look at Day, she lost her composure and couldnāt stop laughing.
Day told Meyers, āAt dress, the wig was a little far forward so on air there was just more head, and it felt like my face was moreā¦ā He paused, maybe unable to quite describe the power of the bizarre resemblance. āItās a lot to take in,ā Day continued.
Day concedes he āput a little more sauceā on his impression during the on-air sketch. āI just kind of tried to look her right in the eyes and just go āHi! Iām insane!āā
Gardner later told Day, āYou didnāt look human.ā
