For seven seasons, Rachel Dratch cracked up viewers as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. The hilarious actress and comedian played some of the show’s most beloved characters of all time, from Debbie Downer to “Boston Teen” Denise McDenna.
Dratch, who’s currently starring in The Rocky Horror Show on Broadway, was certainly enough of an SNL legend to get away with stealing a few mementos from Studio 8H. But as she told Parade in a recent interview, she only kept one relic from the set — and it’s a good one!
Rachel Dratch Saved One Cue Card From Her Time on Saturday Night Live
“I don’t have any decor from SNL because I never thought in the moment to steal a prop,” Dratch tells Parade exclusively on a Zoom call. “The only thing I have is one cue card from the scene I did with Will Ferrell — the ‘Love-ahs’ sketch in the hot tub, and it’s the last card.”
In the sketch, Ferrell and Dratch play loved-up professors Roger and Virginia Klarvin, who enjoy a conversation about lovemaking with characters played by Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. It all goes down in a hot tub at the fictional Welshly Arms Hotel.
The cue card Dratch saved contains the last few lines of the scene, in which Ferrell yells things like “my back!” and “get the hell off me!”
Rachel Dratch’s Interior Design Style
The hysterical Love-ahs sketch aired in 2001, during season Season 27 of SNL, meaning Dratch has held onto the cue card for a whopping 25 years. However, the actress has yet to frame it.
“My interior design style is bit cluttered, gonna admit it,” she says. “That’s an area I need help in … I have skills in other areas, and that’s not one of them. My interior design style is keep your head above water and bring in help.”
Dratch may not be big into decorating her home, but she’s definitely into protecting her home with a warranty. Dratch is starring in a new series of commercials for American Home Shield as “Warrantina,” a kooky character she helped create for the brand — and who is funny enough to be on SNL.
