We thought it was inevitable that The New York Times’ hilarious takedown of Guy Fieri’s new Times Square restaurant would work its way into last week’s SNL. It was like a gift from the comedy gods; we could picture Bobby Moynihan dancing a little jig as he read Pete Wells’ vicious review. But when Saturday night came, there was nothing. As it turns out, there was a Weekend Update sketch performed during rehearsals, but it never made it to air — only Hulu. “The New York Times reviewing my restaurant is like Architectural Digest reviewing a college dorm,” says Moynihan as Fieri. And later: “If you come in expecting Le Cirque, then you’re a Le Jerk.” Watch and see if you can figure out why they decided not to run this, because we find it so much funnier than anything else from that night.
