SNL's Beavis and Butt-Head Sketch: Six Years in the Making

Originally pitched for Jonah Hill in 2018, the sketch found success with Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day in 2024.

Hair stylist Jodi Mancuso and makeup artist Louie Zakarian shared the sketch's backstory and challenges.
The sketch was first proposed in 2018 but faced multiple setbacks due to unsatisfactory wigs and makeup.
Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day's transformation into Beavis and Butt-Head was fine-tuned over years.
Heidi Gardner's genuine reaction to seeing Day in full costume added to the sketch's popularity.
The final version aired in April 2024 and became one of the most celebrated sketches of the season.
