I am joined this week by former SNL cast member, Patrick Weathers. He was on the show during its infamous sixth season, and appeared opposite Ferrell in The Campaign. I asked him how much fan service we might see tonight – any chance Gene Frenkle might return for another cowbell rendition?! "I'm sure we'll have some surprises [tonight], but not everything will be new, for the sake of fans and nostalgia," says Weathers.
