I appreciate the guys who can't hold it together. They do make the skits funnier usually.

Hader, for example, has an impossible time keeping a straight face on live TV. He can't get through Stefon skits without losing it. Nor the scared straight skits. He lost it with the old dude reporter not long ago (which, I mean, he was slamming Kristen Wiig's vagina with a microphone, so who wouldn't, but...).

The laughing doesn't hurt the sketches.
