Dana Edelson/NBC(NEW YORK) — Bill Hader’s effeminate character Stefon returned to Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” on Saturday.
He offered up his latest recommendations for New York’s hottest new clubs — including Whimsy, which he said is “condemned by GLAAD and the EPA from Ghostbusters,” and described as an “old wet Band-Aid found in a Jacuzzi…the kind of place that makes you feel weird the next time you see your parents.” The party boy also referenced his “marriage” to Seth Meyers.
Stefon capped off the appearance with a surprise announcement: he’s pregnant.
SNL also paid tribute to Jan Hooks, who died on Thursday at age 57. She was a regular on the show for five seasons between 1986 and 1991.
The tribute was introduced by host Hader and fellow alum Kristen Wiig, and it featured a clip in which she co-starred with Phil Hartman, another former SNL star who passed away in 1998.
Saturday Night Live will return to NBC on October 25 withJim Carrey as host. It will be Carrey’s third time hosting the show, with his prior appearances having aired in 1996 and 2011. Carrey will likely use the opportunity to promote his upcoming sequel, Dumb and Dumber To, which hits theaters on November 14. Iggy Azalea will be the musical guest.
