Tina Fey SNL Host: Former Cast Member Reprises 'Recurring' Roles That Never Were
SNL longtime feature player and creator of the hit television comedy 30 Rock, Tina Fey hosted the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this past Saturday night, bringing in the successful sketch comedy show's 39th season. The episode also featured Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, and musical guests, Arcade Fire.
During Fey's monologue, she recalled a list of non-exsisting, recurring characters that she could have portrayed during her stint on the show, characters such as Johnny Jean Jacket, Reba McIntired, The Lady With No Theme Song, Salvador Dali Parton and, the conceivably hilarious and/or feasibly offensive character, Queef Latina.
Queef Latina is shown clad in 90's garb, sporting a "Hold on, are you talking to me?" expression and large bamboo earrings. She is standing in front of a discolored wall in one of the two pictures offered for the fake character, and her mouth is gaped, ready to speak. From her stance alone, it's easy create an entire life for the character, or picture her daily interactions. She undoubtedly would be sassy, have exaggerated gestures and a string of catche phrases. Some vivid imagination even drafted a concept for a fake movie entitled, Queef Latina Ruins Christmas, based merely off of one image
Queef Latina is reminiscent of Bon Qui Qui, a well-received character featured on an opposing sketch comedy show, MadTV. The character was portrayed by Mexican-American and Native-American actress, comedienne and former NFL cheerleader, Anjelah Johnson. Bon Qui Qui is an abrasive fast food employee who treats customers poorly, and often proclaims the words "Security, Security" or "I'mma CUT you" to patrons when they challenge her.
Though a seemingly original name, according to IMDB, Queef Latina is preexisting character from a 2011 comedic musical entitled Leave It on the Floor. The character is portrayed by an performance artist, actor and drag queen, Barbie-Q, whose birth name is Mark Peacock. It is also the name of Baltimore-based rock group, an alias that the Scissor Sisters once secretly performed under, and the name of a dubstep song by Dizon.
