Shout out to the true heroes of #SNLAtHome and also of every film or episode of television you’ve ever seen: the editors. You sweet sweet Avid jockeys with your carpal tunnel and your chiropractic bills covered by union insurance unless you work in unscripted: we salute you. https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1254258417432236035
SNL has fantastic performers. But other editors, thank you for doing the work for bad actors even though you’ll never get thanked in their awards speeches. I see your NDA & I send you a loving embrace. May you never again be cursed with a director who says “we’ll fix it in post.”
Dear sweet baby editor angels, may you never be saddled with an ensemble cast of people with excellent bone structure who “cut together well” aka holy fuck you gotta save this whole fucking thing again. May your directors never do coke during a session and not share.
You enchanting editors with terrible eyesight and a comprehensive knowledge of the Adobe Premiere Pro suite except for those two programs literally nobody uses, I must particularly bless you who work in unscripted. You break your NDAs after one O’Douls and for that I love you.
In conclusion, you editors make everything better and have terrible cervical spine issues by the age of 34. Thank you for not burning everything to the ground when an actor with directing dreams asks if they can sit in “just to learn.” In Steenbeck’s name we pray.
