Live from New York, it's two Miami University students?
Exactly why were Paul Rudd and Andy Samberg wearing Miami shirts in the "kissing family" sketch last weekend on "Saturday Night Live?"
Chicago native John Mulaney, who wrote the sketch with actor Fred Armisen, picked Miami because he wanted the students "to be attending a large - but not too large - Midwestern liberal arts school," says Rick Ludwin, a 1970 Miami grad and NBC Entertainment senior vice president over "SNL."
Mulaney "told the 'SNL' wardrobe people to find Miami sweatshirts, and they did," Ludwin says. Armisen told Ludwin after the show that using Miami "was completely random." No "SNL" writer attended Miami.
Ludwin didn't know about the clothes until he watched dress rehearsal Saturday. He was also surprised by the "Vogelchek" family name in the sketch. (Miami has a communications professor named Robert Vogel.) Armisen came up with "Vogelchek" several weeks ago as a variation of Jake Fogelnest, a New York radio personality the writers know, Ludwin says.
"So in spite of the many eerie similarities, the connections were apparently completely coincidental," Ludwin says.
