Bryan Cranston’s Hilariously Gross 'SNL' Sketch That Never Made It On Air
So, have you heard the latest from Bryan Cranston? The legendary Breaking Bad star just dropped a behind-the-scenes gem that’s equal parts hilarious and stomach-churning — and it’s all about a sketch he pitched during his time hosting Saturday Night Live back in 2010. He recently spilled the beans during a fun chat on the Fly on the Wall podcast with David Spade and Dana Carvey.

Now, Cranston isn’t just a brilliant dramatic actor — he’s also got some serious comedic chops, and during his SNL hosting gig, he was ready to throw everything at the wall to see what stuck. He mentioned he was willing to do anything to get a laugh, and he came in hot with some sketch ideas. One of them? Let’s just say it pushed the envelope — hard.
Picture this: Bryan and a date, out with another couple, snag a reservation at this exclusive, high-end restaurant called “In the Sauce.” Sounds fancy, right? Except the restaurant doesn’t offer menus. A snooty waiter simply tells them, “We serve you food. You eat. You leave.” The concept? It’s all about the sauce . Every dish, from crudités to entrées, is dripping in this magical, mind-blowing sauce. Everyone's blown away — they can’t stop eating. They overindulge. And yes… they throw up.
Here’s where things take a wild turn. Instead of recoiling in disgust, the characters in the sketch dip the vomit back in the sauce . And suddenly, it's not that bad. In fact, it’s still delicious. As Cranston put it, “It’s all about the sauce.” He even joked that if you dipped a severed finger in this sauce, it would somehow taste good.
Unsurprisingly, the sketch didn’t make it past Monday’s pitch meeting at SNL . Cranston laughed about it, saying he had a longer version of the bit — but even the abbreviated one was too much for the writers’ room. Still, both Spade and Carvey were cracking up over the absurdity of it.
Cranston also opened up about how nervous he was before stepping out to host the show. Just before his big entrance, he stood behind the stage door, heart pounding, taking deep breaths. And then, he heard the iconic voice of Don Pardo announcing, “And your host… Bryan Cranston!” That’s when it hit him — and he said it felt like being shot out of a cannon.
It’s crazy to think that someone as seasoned as Cranston still felt that kind of pressure — but it makes his story all the more relatable. And that scrapped sketch? Let’s just say, even if it never aired, it lives on as one of the weirdest, grossest, and funniest “what could have been” moments in SNL history.
