Dan Cortese Responds to Stefon's Mockery on 'SNL'

By Dustin Rowles | Celebrity | October 12, 2014 |

In case you missed it, Bill Hader’s Stefon returned to “Weekend Update” last night, and he had a brilliant time at the expense of former MTV Sports Guy, Dan Cortese.

I don’t remember which late-night show I saw the interview on, but Hader once said that the reason he frequently cracks up as Stefon is because they f**k with the cue cards on him, and insert things designed to make him laugh. I think whoever was running the cue cards last night was having a very good time with Dan Cortese.

At any rate, it was the first time many of us have heard Cortese’s name since the last Rock n Jock event on MTV in 2011. Cortese, however, squeezed every last ounce of relevancy out of the experience on Twitter last night and this morning, and good for him.

Yo @nbcsnl & #stefon I would've responded sooner but me & Winger are killin' it #Rocknjock style at Hooters in Cleveland! See u next week!
