SNL's latest viral sketch has been brewing at Studio 8H for quite some time.

Saturday Night Live 's Beavis and Butt-Head sketch has taken the internet by storm, quickly becoming one of the most viral sketches from 30 Rock in recent memory. Featuring Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day as the teenage slackers, the sketch is something that's been in the works at Studio 8H for quite some time, with Day and his writing partner Streeter Seidell always trying to pitch the sketch to the rest of the show's writing team.

"It was a sketch that had been put up at table reads and rehearsals for about five years prior to this. Previously, I was in the sketch but as an audience member. I can't remember the other castings of it. It never made it to a dress rehearsal," Gardner said in a new chat with Vulture. She added,"Every so often, because of timing or the stage it's in, a sketch might be cut on a Friday night as opposed to a Saturday. That's what happened the time before. I had never seen the costumes. It was a sketch that Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell kept on pitching, like, 'Before the end of our time here, we have to do the Beavis and Butt-Head sketch.' It was their white whale; they really wanted to do it.

Saturday Night Live Season 49 is ongoing now with new episodes airing on both NBC and Peacock, starting Saturdays at 11:30 PM ET. All 48 seasons of Saturday Night Live are also now streaming on Peacock.
