• ... that John Mulaney chose an Ed Hardy shirt for the Saturday Night Live character Stefon because he assumed it would look like the fashion from Party Monster?
  • ALT1: ... that John Mulaney would change the Saturday Night Live character Stefon's lines before air in order to make Bill Hader break character?
  • ALT1a: ... that John Mulaney changed Stefon's lines before air to make Bill Hader break character?
  • ALT2: ... that Seth Meyers's desk on Late Night contains a matryoshka doll of his husband?
  • ALT3: ... that the Weekend Update character Stefon started out as a character in a Saturday Night Live sketch?
  • ALT4: ... that in Stefon's final appearance as a recurring character on Weekend Update, he runs off to marry Anderson Cooper?
  • Reviewed: Second nomination, no QPQ needed
  • Comment: All hooks are verified in the article and hooks can be added, modified or removed if needed. Another hook I thought of but unsure if it would fit was something like "... that New York's hottest club is (something here)?" based on the character's famous quote. It can be an April Fools hook, but I assume it would also work well as a normal one.

Improved to Good Article status by Spinixster (talk). Self-nominated at 01:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC).

Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New GA, well sourced and written, no copyvio, no QPQ needed. Removed a couple phrases that seemed undue for the lede. @Spinixster: It would be good to more directly cite criticized due to his stereotypical nature in the body despite how obvious that is. Approve hooks ALT1 (and my shortened revision ALT1a) and ALT2; ALT0 is too specialist, ALT3 isn't really interesting, and ALT4 is in universe. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
