Already widely mocked on social media, SAG-AFTRA‘s infamous Halloween costume guidance received more drubbing on Saturday Night Live.
In a trick-or-treating skit, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher, played by SNL‘s Sarah Sherman, explained the controversial rules that ban members from wearing costumes from studio movies and live-action TV series during the strike and presented safe alternatives for kids.
Telling kids dressed like Barbie, Spider-Man and Black Panther “a bunch of adorable scabs,” Sherman as Drescher introduced other costumes: “Harry Potter as described only in the books,” “minor characters from the Bible who have not appeared in any movie or TV adaptations”, and daytime and reality personalities. (“Unfortunately, this year, you can’t be Yoda but you can be Hoda [Kotb].”)
Drescher (Sherman) also explained how “with small adjustments,” any costumes can be made strike-friendly. For instance, if you are dressed as Wolverine, “just drop the claws, and wah-lah, you are any gay guy over 50.”
After a subtle jab at Drescher’s ubiquitous presence during the strike, which people have found “exhausting,” Sherman, as the SAG-AFTRA President, provided a Halloween-themed take on the studio talks, which have showed signs of progress, stretching over the weekend, and on actors’ demands.
“Negotiating with the studios is a lot like trick-or-treating,” she said. “You know how you go to the biggest house on the block, and all the lights are off, and they are pretending that they are not home? But you can see them through the window eating KitKat bars, dozens of KitKat bars, billions of KitKat bars, record numbers of KitKat bars. All us actors are saying, break me off a piece of that KitKat bar.

William Earl “Saturday Night Live” breakout Sarah Sherman portrayed SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher in a Halloween-themed sketch that took aim at studios, the guild’s controversial Halloween costume recommendations and “The Nanny” star herself. The sketch portrayed children running around in IP-branded Halloween costumes getting halted by Drescher, who was there to “teach you how to do Halloween during a strike.” That includes SAG-AFTRA asking members to not wear costumes based on movie or TV characters, or else “we would be promoting the companies we’re striking against, which makes all of these children a bunch of adorable scabs.” Drescher then recommended safe costumes like “Harry Potter, as described only in the book” and “minor characters from the Bible.” Pointedly, after Drescher says “That’s why we’ve been picketing for 100 days” and another character responds, “That must be exhausting,” she deadpans back, “Hey, did you just call me exhausting? Well, a lot of people have.” The quip could have been a response to recent A-list pressure on Drescher and the guild to make a deal quickly.
