‘SNL’ POKES FUN AT SAG-AFTRA STRIKE HALLOWEEN COSTUME RULES

 Saturday Night Live cast member Sarah Sherman turned into SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher on the late-night show this weekend, in a skit making fun of the union’s rules about Halloween costumes. “I’m here to teach you how to do Halloween during a strike,” Sherman’s Drescher says in the sketch. Giving children advice on what they can dress up as, she suggests, “Harry Potter, as described only in the book” or “minor characters from the Bible.” The faux Nanny actress then explains the strike to the kids. “Negotiating with the studios is a lot like trick-or-treating. You know how you go to the biggest house on the block, and all the lights are off, and they’re pretending they’re not home? But you can see them through the window eating Kit Kat bars, dozens of Kit Kat bars, billions of Kit Kat bars, record numbers of Kit Kat bars?” she says. “All actors are saying is, ‘Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.'”
