Kristen Wiig has Saturday night live to thank for several of his most famous characters, and especially for one dental bill.
During an appearance on Wednesday at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy FallonWiig, 50, reflected on some of her fondest memories SNLwhere she was a member of the cast between 2005 and 2012.
Wiig — who will host the show for the fifth time on April 6 — shared with Fallon that while she sang “Living on a Prayer” with Jason Sudeikis at one party, the other was memorable for entirely different reasons.
After Fallon asked about the Foo Fighters appearing at the afterparty of her last show in 2012, Wiig then explained that she “knocked my tooth out that night.”
– I really partied, guys – she joked. “Well, I was drinking beer. And I had a bottle and someone elbowed the bottle. And I… I know.”
“But I didn’t care,” Wiig added. “I thought, ‘Oh, good.’ And then the next day I woke up and I was like, ‘Wait a minute. There’s something sharp in my mouth.’ ”
