Two Gay Guys
Portrayed by Fred Armisen and Bill Hader, the "Two Gay Guys from New Jersey" appear on Weekend Update to comment about current events. They embody many stereotypes of New Jersey residents, similar to the characters of The Sopranos (including dropping hints about Mafia connections and activities). They wear matching track suits and gold medallions. The couple interact with each other like good friends, while sprinkling their conversations with reminders that they are in a homosexual relationship.
Armisen and Hader have also appeared as "Two Gay Guys from Connecticut" (April 14, 2007) and "Two Gay Guys from Maine" (November 10, 2012).

Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or guys:
“One night betimes he went to rest, for he had caught a fever.
Says he, ‘I am a handsome man, but I’m a gay deceiver.’”
—George Colman (1762–1836)
“Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, I’ll be there, too.”
—Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
