This Jason Sudeikis Sketch Was Cut From SNL, Good Enough for Late Night
On the latest episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, the 131-part television documentary about Seth Meyers' time at Saturday Night Live, guy who makes that face Jason Sudeikis got a chance to see his favorite old, unproduced SNL sketch finally make it to air.
"The Juggling Flyer Sketch," in which Sudeikis' hatable character is unable to believe that no one is taking his offer of juggling lessons seriously, apparently wasn't good enough for SNL but it's definitely good enough for the historical reenactment portion of Late Night: The Seth Meyers Story.
The biggest laugh in the 11-minute sketch comes from Sudeikis deftly playing off a flubbed line by John Lutz, but it's still better than a lot of the material that's made the cut since Sudeikis left the show.
Meyers should definitely keep Second Chance Theatre going as a recurring segment—outside of The Sorkin Sketch, it's been the best thing about his Late Night tenure so far.
