Louis Zakarian and the SNL Makeup Emergency Room

Louis Zakarian emerges as an unsung hero of the episode. Sarah describes his department as operating at ER pace: eight people applying a bald cap simultaneously, transformations from Jessica Rabbit to Ms. Grinch in 45 seconds, bird beaks ripped off and googly eyes slapped on in one fluid motion. His Comic-Con record stands at two minutes for a full bald cap. Sarah's most ambitious request — making it appear that a speculum was blowing her mouth open without any visible apparatus — was met with the same cheerful 'yes' he gives everything. And he films everything for his own content. Amy's analogy: it's exactly like a trauma surgeon saying 'I'll get his clitoris' under pressure — same stakes, same professionalism, same adrenaline.
Louis Zakarian and the 2-Minute Bald Cap
SNL makeup head Louis Zakarian can apply a complete bald cap in under two minutes. He rips bird beaks off and slaps googly eyes on in the same breath, and has never once said no to a request — including making it look like Sarah had a speculum blowing her mouth open. He also stops for selfies.
