A decade later, Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Seth Meyers, and others revisit the SNL skit-turned-box-office bomb-turned cult favorite

in the scene in the script? He was very particular about getting into the script the right amount of grunts. There was a lot of going back and forth: Does it need one more grunt? And, of course, it was Kristen’s birthday.Have you heard that story that when they shot the Kristen-Will love scene it was her birthday, and he’s just dripping sweat all over her?I didn’t know how we were going to shoot it. Forte is like my brother. I remember the day we shot it, it was my birthday. Forte was so sweaty.

The two scenes that immediately follow the love scene comprise a comedy hat trick. Guilt-ridden over having sex with Vicki, MacGruber visits the grave of his wife, Casey. Her ghost appears to him. Then things get weird. And gross.By the time we ended up shooting in New Mexico, I was seven and a half months pregnant. It was hard enough to get me in a wedding dress. I was ready to pop.

The script also called for by-the-book Piper to perform a similar stunt to save MacGruber. Phillippe bravely answered the call of duty.They did not think I was going to go through with it. Behind my back, they were probably like, “He’s going to chicken out.” I never once thought about not doing it. Kristen and Will are two of the most fearless actors I’ve ever worked with—completely unselfconscious. There was no way I was going to chicken out.

Throughout the film, MacGruber menaces Kilmer’s Cunth with a disturbingly specific threat that entails cutting off a certain body part and stuffing it in his mouth. Over-the-top as the movie is, however, that moment never arrives. What happened?Sometimes it’s hard to tell if those guys actually planned on putting [Val] through that. I heard that he didn’t want the image isolated and separated from the movie.He was absolutely going to get it shoved in his mouth.
