'Saturday Night Live' Stars Who Broke Character During Skits

Jeffrey’s with Sean Hayes

Back in 2001, we met two elitist clerks (Sean Hayes, Jimmy Fallon) who insult their customers (Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon, Horatio Sanz) at the trendy store Jeffrey’s. Their boss (Will Ferrell) with a penchant for gadgets says they’re going to a Milan fashion show. Eventually, Sean was unable to keep it together once Will pulled out an extremely tiny flip phone.

The Californians: Stuart Has Cancer

Back in April of 2012, we met The Californians, which became a recurring series…for good reason. In this particular scene, Stuart (Fred Armisen) surprises Devin (Bill Hader) and Karina (Kristen Wiig) before receiving a visit from Greg (Josh Brolin) in this soap opera of how life for Californians revolves around an obsession with driving directions. As evidenced here, the players regularly lost it due to the accents and dramatics.
