@popculturebrain: Check out how SNL pulled off this sketch where the cast had to "fall" down the stairs. The crew built a rollable stair case and wall on an angle and then aligned the camera at the same angle. Stage hands then pulled the set by hand. So even though the actors were in one place on a crash pad, it seemed like they were falling down the stairs. Really genius, old school style stage craft that happened live on TV. This is why SNL is still so exciting to me. The full sketch is called "Edge of Destiny," you can see it on all of SNL's social pages. Top video courtesy of NBC and bottom behind the scenes video courtesy of SNL producer Greg Scarnici (@gregscarnici). The sketch was written by Bryan Tucker and Will Stephen. According to Scarnici, Steve Higgns came up with the concept of how to execute it. #snl #saturdaynightlive #tv

Did anyone else get motion sickness from this? I had to skip this sketch about halfway through.

This was really not funny. Are the people forced to laugh against their will?
