Saturday Night Live may be known for its hilarious timeless sketches, iconic SNL cast ensembles, and long-running structure, but many don't always highlight the impressive production design and VFX work that make the entire show come together within a week's time. The award-winning crew is tireless, working day in and day out to make the dreams of comedy writers a reality, and create the best show possible. Some sketches are more complex than others, and SNL production designer Andrea Purcigliotti recently opened up about some of the most involved skits. She singled out the 2022 "A Christmas Carol" sketch with Martin Short and Steve Martin, two of SNL's Season 48 hosts, and explained why one Mikey Day shot was particularly tricky.
