Steve Martin made a delightful cameo on last nights episode of Saturday Night Live, during his Only Murders in the Building co-star Selena Gomezs hosting debut. In a pretaped sketch, Gomezs Taylor Gosh introduced Archie Gizmo (Martin), the mastermind behind the whoopee cushion. Gizmo explains that he was just a struggling gag inventor in the 60s, looking for a sound to accompany his whoopee-cushion prototype, when he met Ms. Dina Beans (Aidy Bryant, of course). Her energy was magnetic; her eyes were endless, Gizmo says of Beans. And every time she sat down: gas. We then watch as Dina Beans is struck by lightning (twice!) and attacked by snakes each of her misfortunes inspiring one of Gizmos inventions. Bryant and Martin are electric (pun intended) together, and Gomez is perfectly deadpan as the documentarys host (The automobile, paper cup, dancing, computer: These were all invented.) Watch the full sketch above.<\/p>\n
