Memory Lane: The WMU Mention on Saturday Night Live - Motown Bronco - 10-18-2018 10:27 AM
Not sure how many of you remember this. SNL episode in 2005, where Maya Rudolph's character (drunk sorority girl) announced she was from Western Michigan University in a skit.
About the 3:00 minute mark.
Woo! The Musical

Many of the SNL cast members around that time were UM alumni, so I'm sure that had something to do with that.

Will Farrell wore a Scarlet and Gray sweatshirt (Ohio State colors) but claimed to be from Ohio U. on a couple SNL skits.

Yeah, but no Brown and Gold in the skit.

I don't know about that - care to prove?

I question that too.

Cool. Looks like he actually went to USC.

In fact none of the 2005 cast members had any attachment to U-M.
Will Farrell did go to USC, started out as a Sports Information wannabe.

I can't because it turns out I was wrong. I could have sworn I heard that but research shows that I'm way off. That's what I get believing u of M people.

At the time, I thought maybe a writer was either a WMU grad name-dropping, or a CMU grad poking us (given the "character" being portrayed).
But most likely, they just wanted a random school from 'flyover' country and we just happened to be picked.
