Just two months ago, Saturday Night Live did a skit about fan sites. Featuring Halsey, the comedic performance parodied the genre, which includes platforms like JustFor.fans and OnlyFans, and is growing in popularity, perfectly. And now, the show is grabbing its own “Right in front of my salad,” moments?
On the latest episode, the show’s skit surrounded the set of a gay porn. A porn featuring Emma Stone. We’ve had Manila Luzon, we’ve had Farrah Moan, and now, my dear friends, Miss Emma Stone.
Written by Bowen Yang and Julio Torres, the skit featured Grace, played by Stone, who is an actress in search of her big break. Having gotten tired of commercials and other easy work, she finds what she hopes is that break: the character Deirdre, possessor of one ugg boot, two pairs of loose sweatpants, a couple of batteries, and a pair of Happy 2017 glasses. An actress, playing an actress, playing an actress. We can dig it.
What’s more? Deidra, my dear friends, is the leading lady in a new gay porn featuring real-life gay porn star Ty Mitchell.
As Grace tries to “piece together the puzzle of this woman’s life,” musing about possible events that led up to her walking in on her soon-to-be husband, Jared, having sex with her godson — played by Mitchell, who has no other name, just godson.
Things get off to a rough start as Grace’s musings get the best of her. She adds a few lines to her character, hoping to build on the role. The director scraps it.
“There’s nothing to [Deirdre],” the director says. “People are just going to scroll past her so they can get off. She has no past, no future, she exists only to be cheated on. Alright? Say what’s in the script.” Talk about one dimensional roles! Grace is an ACTRESS, sir, and needs to feel the role.
Nevertheless, a job is a job.
Grace returns for her second scene on set, after sitting outside on a folding chair as the rest of filming took place. Apparently she didn’t want to watch and spent the time, instead, mulling over Deidra’s backstory. Clearly, she hasn’t seen Mitchell on camera before — it’s something not to be missed.
When she returns, she’s had a breakthrough.
“Jared,” she says clutching her chest. “What are you doing? Not with my godson!” Delivered perfectly. An Oscar-winning performance! A GayVN is certainly in the cards. The first woman to snatch both in fact. But, she was in too deep. There was more.
“Jared,” Grace says thinking about the love of her life and all the times he wasn’t intimately involved with her godson. “I forgive you.”
“Cut,” the director yells. “We’ll edit that out.” Ok, but you have to give her credit for trying.
