What Happens During Commercials on SNL Is Kind of Amazing

It's a crucial part of Saturday Night Live most never see, and a newly released video will give fans a big appreciation of it. The video shows the set crew dismantling the stage after last week's opening skit, then hustling to reassemble it during the commercial break—they have about 1:40 to do it all. "We gotta go, we gotta go, one minute," someone says, per CNET. The problem is, a fake wall isn't cooperating. "Thirty seconds, come on! That big wall's gotta go!" It finally does, with little time to spare, though viewers wouldn't have noticed a thing. (More Saturday Night Live stories.)
