STARRING: The SNL cast: Beck Bennett, Cecily Strong, Keenan Thompson, Leslie Jones, Kate Mckinnon, Colin Jost, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, Mikey Day, and GUEST STARRING: Rami Malek
Part 1:
Kate Mckinnon was concerned. The SNL cast was all there, except one, Pete. Where was he? Keenan walked over to check on Kate, he had noticed she had been biting her lip.Â
âKate whatâs up?â he asked. Kate smiled sightly.
âHave you seen Pete?â Keenan nodded.
âYeah, heâs fie he was getting a soda...Anyways... Dacker wants everyone behind the set; weâre almost ready.â Keenan walked away back towards where the rest of the cast were standing, Kate sighed she eventually followed him as well. Pete slouched in quickly, soda in hand. Kate closed her eyes briefly.
Well, at least now the episode was going to go right. Dacker SNLâs head producer stood holding the windscreen microphone over Colin Jostâs head where he sat behind the âWeekend Updateâ desk.Â
âALRIGHT, PEOPLE WEâRE LIVE IN 3, 2, 1âŚ. Weâre LIVE!âÂ
Colin Jost smiled at the camera.Â
âGood evening folks and welcome back to Weekend Update, Iâm your host Colin Jost and here joining me tonight are Kate Mckinnon and Pete Davidson, Pete, Kate welcome, glad you could come back.âÂ
âYou know I am!â Pete said. Colin laughed.
âWell, we have an update for tonightâs other episode, it appears that Rami Malek is joining us tonight. Pete, Kate how are taking that? Heâs a great guy huh?âÂ
Kate smiled.
âHell yeah, ladies listen if I were straight, you all know Iâd come running to Mr. Malek!â Colin and Pete laughed.Â
âHow about you Pete any thoughts?â Pete smiled.
âYeah heâs a great guy!â Colin nodded.
âAlright folks, letâs move on now Kate youâŚ
And the episode went on and on then Dacker dropped the microphone and sighed.
âOk people that a wrap!â The rest of the cast members helped clean up the set and redecorate for the next episode that was coming up soon. Dacker pulled Kate aside.Â
âKate!â he said.
âYeah?â Dacker sighed, Kate could see he was visibly angry. But why? Dacker continued.Â
âIs the guest here yet?â Kate frowned.Â
âThe guest sir?â Dacker sighed loudly.Â
âYes, the guest, Mr. Malek?â Kate blushed.Â
âOh Yeah, Rami should be here soon.â Dacker flinched at the name. Kate frowned.
âIs there something wrong with that name sir?â Dacker shook his head.
âRami...Rami is that Israeli?â Kate shook her head.
âNo, itâs Arabic.â Dacker rolled his eyes.
âWhatever get him in here or heâs gonna be late AGAIN.â Beck Bennett was standing over across the room when he heard what Dacker was saying, Beck being a pretty big guy came over and addressed the situation.
âHey, Dacker whatâs going on man?â Kate frowned.
âHe doesnât like Ramiâs name.â Dacker shot her a look of disgust.
âThatâs not what I said Kate...â
âWait, wait wait! Beck interrupted.
âRami Malek?â Kate nodded. Beck straightened.
âWhatâs wrong with him, heâs an awesome guy!âÂ
âThatâs my question, why did you recoil when I said his name Dacker?â Dacker was lost for words. Beck felt a bit of anger rush through him.
âWhatâs the big deal Dacker, heâs an actor, weâre all in this together!â Dacker still didnât respond. Beck gently grabbed Kateâs arm.
âCome on Kate we need to go over our lines.â They walked into the breakroom together where Mikey, Aidy, Leslie, and Cecily were reading back their lines.Â
Leslie looked up.
âOh hey, ladies!â Beck smirked. Suddenly, the breakroom entrance door burst open. Rami Malek shuffled in, pale and slightly out of breath. Everyone stood up, they had been discussing Dackerâs actions. Beck moved towards him.Â
âHey man, how are you doing?â Rami smiled slightly.
âGood..yeah.. Am I late?â Cecily got up, but Leslie answered for her.
âBaby your perfectly on time!â Ramiâs shoulder relaxed and he nodded. Dacker came into the room at this moment, clipboard in hand. He saw Rami.
âAhh Malek, your late!â Rami frowned as did Beck and the rest of the people sitting in the room all eyes were focused on their director.Â
Beck spoke up,Â
âWhat are you talking about? He still has an hour and a half until the next show starts!â Dacker shook his head.
âHeâs late!â Leslie stood back up, straightening her posture.
âIn whose book?â Dacker threw her a disgusted glance.
âIn my book!â He stormed out of the room, the cast quickly rushed to Ramiâs side, they all patted him on the back. Cecily who had always liked the actor blushed when he smiled at her, she could feel the tenseness in his shoulders.Â
âDonât worry about that man, heâs...well..heâs Dacker, never in a good mood!â Beck said, they all agreed.Â
âThanks,â Rami said, pulling away from the group and leaving the breakroom to get changed into his costume for the episode. Cecily pulled Kate aside.
âKate, what the hell is going on I saw you talking to Dacker whatâs happening?â Kate sighed, but she replied.
âWe all know Rami is of Arabic descent right?â Cecily nodded.
âYeah and?â Kate sighed again, trying to hint at something.
âDacker doesnât like the Arabic community, especially people who are Arabic and who are actors.â Cecily drew back, Kate sensed her anger and saw the wave of realization wash over her face. They shared a look of knowing until Dacker called them out to finish up the set production.Â
Rami had changed into his costume and was reading over his lines. Beck had struck up a conversation with Mikey, meanwhile, Kate stood alone taking deep breaths and running her lines back through her mind. Finally, Dacker announced.
âALRIGHT, PEOPLE LAST SHOW TONIGHT MAKE IT COUNT! LIVE IN 3, 2, 1 WEâRE LIVE!âÂ
Kate, Mikey, Beck, Cecily took the stage and were halfway through the sketch then Rami came onto it, Kate noticed his hands were visibly shaking as the sketch went on, and when it ended, Dacker dropped the microphone and came up to Rami.Â
âMalek!â he sighed.
âYes sir?â Rami asked attentively. Dacker rolled his eyes, Kate grimaced, she noticed all the caste as watching secretively away from the two.Â
âYou need to be more convincing!â Dacker continued. Rami frowned.
âSir? What do you mean?â Dacker sighed, Kate could hear the disgust and anger creeping up into his voice.Â
âI MEAN...I mean that you need to be more aware of your body language, Jesus you looked like you had no clue what was going on!â Beck came over followed by Cecily and Leslie, they listened in as Rami responded.
âI think Iâm just tired sir, thatâs all!â Dacker snorted.
âWell tired isnât going to cut it, not on my watch, get your act together Malek or Iâll find a way for you too.â Beck stepped in front of the actor and the director, his brow furrowed.
âNow hold up, Rami just doing his thing, weâre all nervous before we go out on camera, itâs normal donât bash him just for being human.â Leslie agreed.
âThatâs right!â Dacker sighed lazily.
âAll Iâm saying is that he should be more present in the acting thatâs all!â Beck straightened.
âYouâre the director, you should be focusing on all of us, thatâs your job, not just pointing out the bad in one of us, we all make mistakes and if you havenât noticed, itâs 11:43, weâve been doing this since 6:00 am weâre all tired, so, why donât you keep your opinions to yourself?â Rami stepped forward out from behind Beck.
âBeck, Iâm fine, I-
Beck cut him off.
âNo, your not fine Rami!â He stepped back towards him putting his arm around the actorâs shoulder.
âYou know what I respect this man, heâs one of the kindest people Iâve met and probably the most hardworking,â Dacker smirked.
âHardworking? If his hands are shaking then is that âhard work?â Cecily spoke up now, the whole entire cast was focused on Dacker.Â
âDacker, anxiety is a real thing, I have it, it sucks, shaking hands is normal when you have it.â Dacker didnât respond. Kate now spoke.
âYeah, Beckâs right, your a disgusting racist man, just because one of us here is Arabic or Jewish or Hispanic, they should be treated how you treat the rest of the cast, but, if you keep this up, I donât think Iâll be coming back!â There were gasps amongst the crowd. Rami pulled away from Beckâs hand.Â
âGuys, Iâm fine, thank you but Iâm just gonna go back home!â Leslie moved forward.
âNo, Rami stay we want you here!â
âYeahâ was heard around the room. Dacker rolled his eyes again, clearly not budged.Â
âWhatever, just get back onto the set Malek and get your game face on!â he walked away picking up the microphone again, waiting for the cast to go back on the set.
Leslie guffawed.
"And why should he do that? His acting was perfectly fine from my view!" Dacker shook his head walking away.
"Because I said so!"
Beck moved forward towards Rami.
âCome on man, letâs get this sketch done for tonight!â Rami smiled.Â
Racist or not, heâs a jerk he thought to himself, little did he know he was in for a long road ahead of him.Â

Like the racism fetters of Freddie Mercury's (link intended) personal history. I love the use of art as a scalpel in social surgeries. Well done. Great storytelling. I love your imaginative techniques.

EXACTLY!!! I thought writing about this that actually happened will bring more into light that it isn't just all rainbows and unicorns behind the scenes of any movie especially Bohemian Rhapsody!
