Production Notes
During the televised event, “Saturday Night Live” alums Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer got on stage and reprised their roles as fictional Altadena Middle School music teachers Marty and Bobbi Mohan-Cu. “We have pretty significant floaters right now, but it doesn’t stop us from seeing so many middle fingers peppered in both the upper mezzanine and orchestra section,” said Ferrell, 57. “It’s just unbelievably rude.” “We’re talking about you, Meryl Streep. We see you,” added Gasteyer. The camera then cut to Streep, flipping the bird from her seat in the crowd. Short and the rest of the audience burst out laughing over Streep’s response.
