Anita Gasteyer Recalls Ferrell's SNL Prank

Ana Gasteyer recently shared a humorous story on the 'Las Culturistas' podcast about a prank involving Will Ferrell and Sean 'Diddy' Combs during Combs' 1998 rehearsal for Saturday Night Live. Combs had requested a 'totally closed set' while he prepared for his performance of 'Come With Me,' which features a Led Zeppelin sample. Gasteyer recalled that Ferrell, dressed as a former crew member named Ron, intentionally disrupted the rehearsal, much to Combs' discomfort. She described the moment as 'the greatest thing that's ever happened,' highlighting the absurdity of the situation, especially considering Combs' later controversies. The incident reflects the often humorous dynamics behind the scenes at SNL during Gasteyer's tenure from 1996 to 2002.
