#5: Creating the Set
Ah, the infamous elevators of Studio 8H, where even the cars must undergo a comedic metamorphosis just to reach the stage. These compact contraptions are the unsung heroes of SNL, tasked with ferrying not just people but props and sets, too.
If something as big as a car is needed for a sketch in studio 8H, it will need to be physically sawed in half before the elevators can be brought up due to their size. It might sound like a lot of effort for a sketch, but it’s well worth it at the end of the day.
