Heidi Gardner says Saturday was the longest day of her life. This weekend’s “Beavis and Butt-Head” SNL sketch made her uncharacteristically break character thanks to some wild prosthetics that even Gardner wasn’t ready to see in action. The comedian told Vulture that while the Beavis and Butt-Head noses and mouths made their debut in dress rehearsal, she didn’t know about Mikey Day’s exposed gums and teeth. She explained that she’ll “never be able to shake looking over (her) shoulder and seeing what (she) saw,” which resulted in her breaking for nearly 30 seconds. Despite the positive response from the audience and her fellow castmates, Gardner said she “left the stage a little bit in shock” and feeling like she “didn’t do (her) job.”
Not to be outdone, another day of the week is also getting some buzz thanks to a certain Big Lebowski actor. Variety broke the news that Steve Buscemi is set to join the cast of the hit Netflix series Wednesday for its second season. Exact character details are still a mystery, but Buscemi will play Nevermore Academy’s new principal — a role previously inhabited by Gwendoline Christie. The actor joins Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Christina Ricci in the Tim Burton spin-off. With a goal to “lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more,” Buscemi’s inclination toward playing notorious menaces seems like a perfect fit for the series.
