During the entire sketch I was trying to figure out if Will Forte was wearing a bald cap or not. I wouldn't put it past him to shave his head just for this. Lol
It's almost better that Jenje was kept hidden from us till now, as Will Forte's beard makes her that much grosser. Love the grossness. Huge 'ews' all around.
Will forte may be the greatest, sickest, concept art comedian ever to be on snl. The wild west astronaut sketch with Blake Lively was a masterpiece. You will never be an astronaut.
Easily the dumbest awesomest thing I've ever seen. Seeing Jason and Will back at it really made this. Thank you for coming up with Second Chance Theater!
Will and Jason were great in this. I wish Will would host so we'd get something like this on the show. Vanessa was a sport to pop in for such a pointless role given that she wasn't even on the show when Will was (they were a few months apart).
Brilliant idea for a segment; resurrect cut sketches and have past and present SNL cast members act them out. Awesome. Btw Jennjamin Franklin is comedy gold!
This makes no sense. The other couple wanted to set them up, so why do they leave in disgust? We even know that they're a freaky couple who likes messed up stuff.
I'm guessing that''s why this is a "2nd chance" sketch. If the, er, kinks had been worked out, it wouldn't have felt forced, just funny. But it's great that Seth hosts this and SNL signs off on it. It has a charm, for one, simply for the story behind it, but it's also inspiration for creatives who feel they're not hitting the head of the nail yet -- nobody does it perfectly, all the time.
I said DONT NORMALLY meaning you are not going to always see them and Cecily Stong is not a head writer she is just a cast member, neither was Jimmy Fallon who i love he was never a writter for SNL Higgens & Smigal wrote most of his best sketches
I feel like this didn't make it through the first time because for some inexplicable reason people don't like seeing a colonial man with a beard on another mans lap getting it on. When will our society accept this love story of star crossed lovers!!!!
MYYYGGGGGGGGGGGood I am on train and I can't stop laughing. Will forte's expressions and comic timongs...in this skit they were all pretty good but he never broke while the others did and I don't know how he does It. legend
This is one of the most disturbing and unsettling things to ever be filmed and released to the public.....I love it
Quintessential Forte
Forte really helps bridge the gap between entertainment and vomit in your mouth.
coin420 Do hydroponics & grow lights work well together?
it sure is
Juden
You KNOW it's awkward and uncomfortable if Fred Armisen is the straight man..
That made me laugh Lmaoo
FR! 😂 😂 😂
I feel like this was written solely to freak out the other cast members and i'm alright with that.
I knew Jason and Will were going to kiss the second they announced that Jason was there.
In high school, I was a band geek with a severe social anxiety disorder and yet, I still never experienced anything this awkward.
Goddamn, the chemistry between Sudeikis & “Jenjamin” is actually 🔥
After Will speaking about this character so passionately in his interview, I'm happy he got to play it haha.
Will Forte's got a sick mind.
But thats what makes his sketches hilarious 😂
He dances on the precipice of the abyss with the fury of an indigenous stallion. 🐎
like all the geniuses
will forte sounds like moaning myrtle from harry potter
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
oh my God it's true!
Made me the right amount of uncomfortable that every Snl sketch should. Loved it.
This would actually be perfect for Kids in the Hall.
only thing missing was Bill Hader watching from another table with a pervy smile.
why is jason so sweet with will oh my god
Is Jasons ex "Georga" at the start a reference to George Washington hahaha?
Thanks
During the entire sketch I was trying to figure out if Will Forte was wearing a bald cap or not. I wouldn't put it past him to shave his head just for this. Lol
Jason is such a versatile actor
I can see why this wasn't put on air.
I don't see what was wrong with it
They showed this on Canadian TV...
i don't see why. this Is pure gold.
Jennjamin Franklin: Will Forte's rejected SNL sketch featuring Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen, and Vanessa Bayer!
Yes! Keep these up! There must be plenty of cut sketches that could be put on!
Jason Sudeikis was hilarious in this sketch.
It's almost better that Jenje was kept hidden from us till now, as Will Forte's beard makes her that much grosser. Love the grossness. Huge 'ews' all around.
Debbie Elicksen VERY funny! He's the best. He managed to keep straight face whole sketch, too.
Oh i know. Jason is very professional. I love him!
I'm not sure who was creepier in this: Forte or Sudeikis!
@a p lol
I can see why this was cut haha but still funny just extremely disturbing
Will forte may be the greatest, sickest, concept art comedian ever to be on snl. The wild west astronaut sketch with Blake Lively was a masterpiece. You will never be an astronaut.
not maybe. he Is.
Oh yes, Potato Chip is a masterpiece.
I really missed weird, creepy sketches like these from Forte. Oh, man. That was so creepy but I died laughing. MORE PLEASE!
I can't believe this has been around for 10 years and I'm just seeing it now.
I love how Jason just put his pursed lips into Will's mouth.
No 🤢😂🤣
Will open them too much!😂
sudeikis has no business looking this hot in this sketch
This is so horrific, I need more
Jenjamin looks like Robin Williams if he was a high school music teacher
He does! Oh Lord.
Jason Sudeikis hair game is on point!
richgarc84 the beard really seals the deal as a cherry on top
Easily the dumbest awesomest thing I've ever seen. Seeing Jason and Will back at it really made this. Thank you for coming up with Second Chance Theater!
I like everything about this. It's hilarious when they just get straight up weird!
Sooo glad I didn't see this before I went to bed.
I'm so sad I saw this before going to bed o.O
I did and now I haven't slept in a week
I LOVE this! Hope Seth has more second-chancers. Will and Fred are gold!
but...Fred has bad timing ...
WHAT am I watching? And why do I like it SO MUCH?!
What in the world is this amazing piece of art!?
This is so weird and awesome and unsettling and I can't not watch it
That sketch would have killed on SNL. Will was right!
Jason sudeikis is literally the best actor ever
Forte’s willingness to do anything and Sudekis’ pseudo-high school jock personality are fucking magical.
I've never been so uncomfortable and laughed so hard at the same time
Will and Jason were great in this. I wish Will would host so we'd get something like this on the show. Vanessa was a sport to pop in for such a pointless role given that she wasn't even on the show when Will was (they were a few months apart).
Not gonna lie, my weird crush on Will Forte just went up a notch.
Anyone saying this is awkward clearly hasn't seen "the new girlfriend" sketch on snl😂
I dont wanna watch, yet I cant look away :S
i can see why this never made it past the table read at snl.
Will Forte is such a boss!
Thank you Seth for making this possible!
That voice is just cracking me up so bad. Jesus.
My life goal is to find someone who only knows Jason from Ted Lasso, and to show this to them
Brilliant idea for a segment; resurrect cut sketches and have past and present SNL cast members act them out. Awesome. Btw Jennjamin Franklin is comedy gold!
i really hope they do more of these
This makes no sense. The other couple wanted to set them up, so why do they leave in disgust? We even know that they're a freaky couple who likes messed up stuff.
They're trying to be respectable. At least until the kids graduate.
I guess their eyes were too big for their stomachs
I'm guessing that''s why this is a "2nd chance" sketch. If the, er, kinks had been worked out, it wouldn't have felt forced, just funny. But it's great that Seth hosts this and SNL signs off on it.

I have never laughed so hard at anything so bizarre.
I can't unsee any of that.
that was awkward and funny, I love Will Forte!
Amazing 👏 I'm so jealous of Will. I love you Jason 💜
Seth did more SNL-like things in this than he did in his last few years at SNL.
He was a head writer they dont normally do anything besides Update and oversee the sketches
Well that's false
Let's not forget Boston Powers.
I said DONT NORMALLY meaning you are not going to always see them and Cecily Stong is not a head writer she is just a cast member, neither was Jimmy Fallon who i love he was never a writter for SNL Higgens & Smigal wrote most of his best sketches
this has nothing to do with my original comment all i really said was Seth focuses on writing more than being on screen because he likes writing more
I feel like this didn't make it through the first time because for some inexplicable reason people don't like seeing a colonial man with a beard on another mans lap getting it on. When will our society accept this love story of star crossed lovers!!!!
Mike J Seth mentioned that this would be weird with his beard and now I see why. Guess Forte didn't have a beard during the time he was on SNL.
+thebunny he did, I think the guys stay clean shaven for stuff like playing women and heavy makeup.
+thebunny I mean didn't haha
Jenjamin was a flat chested woman!
If stuff this funny was on SNL, I might start watching it. This is so unique and out there, and man is it funny!
I dont know how they could keep it together
I love Jason so much
THIS IS MAJESTIC!
5:35 wow, Fred as a straight man, a rare sight 😂 Vanessa, too, but with Fred it really fried my brain circuits 🥴
So, Sudeikis can convincingly smolder at LITERALLY anyone playing opposite him, then? Got it! Coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool no doubt
Will Forte is Amazing! Nailed it! Jason was perfect!
Will Forte has an interesting brain
was looking at the comments before i watched this, and i was like it 'cant be _that_ bad'. *but oh it was. It so was*
Holy god... what did i just watch? 5 stars
Has there ever been a humanbeing as talented as Will Forte? No the answer is no
agree
This makes me laugh every frickin time 😂😂😂
This was so uncomfortable to watch, but awkwardly funny as well :)...Jason did a great job with his lines.
will did it
Thumbs up on this segment! Can't wait for more!
Watched this like 30 times, it's so good
“I’m a very bad parallel parker” had me dying 😂
that was beautiful. love wins
I'm guessing "13" is insanely jealous. Seriously, thanks for continuing to elicit involuntary laughs from the rest of us. Sorely needed.
Will Forte is the cutest!
Can't believe I just ran across this, freakin HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
This sketch still lives rent free in my mind many years later 😂😂
Props to the extras at the other table for not cracking.
Hilarious, which makes me question my sense of morality at 63 😂 forgot Sudekis could sing!
This one is funnier than most of the skits that go on air
Only for a second, but first time I’ve ever seen Jason break.
Anything involving my hero Jason Sudeikis I am in!
Those extras on the right keeping it going even after the scene ends.
Thank you so much, this was amazing :D
Bone-chilling.
Forte is one of the funniest people to have ever lived.
totally agree
“And if lightning strikes, he’ll tie a key to the end of it”
“Oh, his kite?”
“No honey, not his kite.”
One music, coming right up. Still good.
I saw this just for Fred. I love Fred!!
I love the SNL of five years ago! This sketch was funny but mostly weird. Hahahaha.
I am obsessed with this. Will is fucking hilarious.
This is incredible.
I'm freaking creeped out. That voice...
Second Chance Theatre is fantastic because it's SNL sketches by the best SNL cast.This sketch alone is better than anything they've done in 5+ years.
So I guess someone just misheard "It's all about the Benjamin" as "It's all about the Jenjamin" and now this sketch exists? Incredible.
This is so bas is good! LOVEDDD SECOND CHANCE THEATRE!
Never stop doing these.
This feels like a funhaus skit written for Jon smith and I love it
I feel like this would air on SNL today lol this was hilarious
This is so messed up that it's great.
MYYYGGGGGGGGGGGood I am on train and I can't stop laughing. Will forte's expressions and comic timongs...in this skit they were all pretty good but he never broke while the others did and I don't know how he does It. legend
Who’s here from “You made it weird”?
