For their addition to the viral trend that [has gone transatlantic](http://time.com/4572786/england-soccer-mannequin-challenge/), the cast froze all the backstage action, and the skeletons from the show’s recent big hit David Pumpkins joined in. This mannequin challenge really upped the ante by taking full advantage of _SNL’s_ props. Who else could serve up a spilling paint can? Best of all, Aidy Bryant’s bubblegum bubble didn’t pop the whole time. Even though Leslie Jones participates in the scene, it ends with her as the outsider who just doesn’t understand why everyone’s acting so weird. Watch below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4572945/saturday-night-live-mannequin-challenge-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4572945/saturday-night-live-mannequin-challenge-video/"},"headline":"Saturday Night Live's Mannequin Challenge With Host Kristen Wiig Is Next Level","datePublished":"2016-11-16T16:11:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:43.066Z","description":"New levels of stillness","url":"https://time.com/4572945/saturday-night-live-mannequin-challenge-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Saturday Night Live"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4572945/saturday-night-live-mannequin-challenge-video/","name":"Saturday Night Live's Mannequin Challenge With Host Kristen Wiig Is Next Level"}}]}] ```
