Bell had previously auditioned for SNL and though she did not join the cast, she became a writer for the show for the thirty - fifth season . </P> <P> In the 2015 film Ted 2, when news of Ted's (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) court loss about him not being a "real person" appears on multiple news programs, one of the shows he was searching through was SNL where a cold open was parodying his court case, after which the three main cast members shouted the phrase . Cast members Taran Killam, Kate McKinnon, and Bobby Moynihan made cameo appearances . </P> <P> On the July 19, 2016 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Laura Benanti (the impersonator of Melania Trump) finished her "un-plagiarized" "defense" speech, starting to say "Live from New York, it's Saturday ..." before Colbert interrupted, shouting "no!" and the title card of the show appearing on the screen . </P>
