Saturday Night Live Sketch Gives Shoutout To Santa Clarita (VIDEO)

A Saturday Night Live sketch this past weekend not only featured the stars of the SNL cast and show host Will Ferrell, but also alluded to the fictitious, but must-watch reality television show “King and Queens of Santa Clarita.”

In a SNL sketch acted out by the cast and Ferrell, who hosted the episode, a neighborhood BBQ devolves into a semi-impromptu, yet explosive scene for the made-up show, “King and Queens of Santa Clarita.”

Ferrell and Cecily Strong, with their obvious spray tans and snare drum facelifts, ambush their unsuspecting friends with pulled-out-of-thin-air drama, at one point threatening to spit wine in their suburban victims’ faces and club them with the couple’s dog.

Despite a culture surrounding SNL that frowns upon cast members breaking character, the Bravo-esc scene was played so well by Ferrell and Strong that the other characters on set could not hold back their laughter.

Santa Clarita residents are no strangers to the entertainment industry’s spotlight.

On top of a number of shows including “NCIS,” “Criminal Minds” and “The Office” having been filmed at various locations in the community, Netflix is also set to release their second season of the Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant starring show, “Santa Clarita Diet.”

Additionally, shows like Showtime’s “Weeds” and Tim Burton’s film “Edward Scissorhands” make allusions to a setting in Santa Clarita without overtly stating it.

Santa Clarita also offers an apt location for film makers and show runners through local properties such as Santa Clarita Studios, Melody Ranch and Golden Oak Ranch.

  1. So let me see how f I followed this video correctly..: The “King and Queen of Santa Clarita” mocked our City by: 1) showing how shallow we are, 2) apparently we are all alcoholics, due to the high amounts of wine we ingest . 3) Abusing our pets by offering to throw them as a sacrifice. Well,I guess we finally made the Big Time. Yeah us!! I couldn’t be more embarrassed…

  2. Wrong email address before, this is my correct address. The sentiment if exactly the same. Please post. Thank you!

  3. Actually, the shallow, vapid idiots were portrayed as being from Flagstaff, AZ. Whether the SCV “made them” into the characters they were or not is not addressed.
