#28: Diner Lobster, Season 43
John Mulaney might be a famous comedian today, but before his success, he was a writer for SNL. But once he became a more prominent name, he frequented a spot as a host on the comedy sketch show, giving him a much larger audience. This career shift allowed him to write “old” jokes that never made it into the current-day SNL scripts.

One such sketch that never made it on air was “Diner Lobster.” This sketch finds Pete Davidson, a restaurant patron, launched into a musical production resembling Les Miserables. This bizarre concept works surprisingly well, as each cast member commits seriously to their musical numbers.
