Uncover the Secrets of Saturday Night Live's Afterparties

Blizzards and Impromptu Dance Battles

During one memorable SNL afterparty, a blizzard hit when Paul Giamatti was the host. It turned into a wild party with the Strokes. As Amy Poehler, 53, recalled, "When I say 'blizzard,' I mean actual snow." This event led to an impromptu dance battle between Harry Styles and Kristen Wiig, adding to the legendary status of these afterparties.Another instance was when Leslie Jones shared her favorite afterparty with Dave Chappelle. They stayed until five in the morning, with Lenny Kravitz and Naomi Campbell in attendance. Dave Chappelle even sang to her, creating a truly unforgettable night.

Karaoke with the Stars

Karaoke with the Foo Fighters was a popular choice among the group. Jason Sudeikis recalled performing "‘Come Together’ but had to look at his phone for the lyrics, which Dave Grohl gave him the appropriate amount of s— for." Mulaney, 42, also mentioned karaoke as a highlight when "Mick Jagger hosted on the skating rink of 30 Rock." Amy Poehler's performance of "Bad Reputation" added to the all-star karaoke experience.

Dance-Offs and Hilarious Moments

Aidy Bryant's favorite afterparty memory involved a never-heard-before story between Harry Styles, 30, and Kristen Wiig, 51. There was a bit of a dance-off between them on a table, leaving Bryant in awe. "This is it," she said.Not all afterparties were glamorous, though. Ana Gasteyer recalled Will Ferrell's hilarious phrase when he realized how late they had been out. "Uh-oh, it’s the icky blue light," she said. They would then crawl home to bed.

Rockstar Celebrations and Surprises

For the 40th season celebration, Sasheer Zamata named the party her favorite. She and Fred Armisen recalled their excitement over Prince being in attendance. Zamata said, "Prince floated into the room," while Armisen added, "I don't mean this as a joke, he really looks like Prince."Jay Pharoah had a unique experience sitting "right behind Drake" at an afterparty and becoming friends with him. However, Drake changed his number since then.

Drag Queen Fun and Table Dancing

Bowen Yang and Cecily Strong both named the afterparty following RuPaul's hosting debut as their favorite. Cecily Strong, 40, recalled, "There were all these drag queens. Like everyone was dancing on tables and I had not seen that before." Bowen Yang, 34, added, "We were at STK Midtown, a very buttoned-up establishment. Then RuPaul had a DJ there who played house music and the season 12 girls came and we all went to the tables and started dancing.
