Lonnie and Josh are two characters on Saturday Night Live played by Cecily Strong and Mikey Day (they are also the creators of these characters (with Streeter Seidell)), that usually appear during the Science Room sketches.[1][2]Their first appearance was in the January 13th, 2018 episode (hosted by Sam Rockwell, who gained some notoriety for letting loose the F word on live TV during the sketch) and the last one in the December 10th, 2022 episode (one of Strong's last shows before she left the same year-it had two hosts this time, Steve Martin and Martin Short).
Personality
 |
Lonnie and Josh are two young and stupid kids that, everytime Mr. Science (played by the different host of the show) wants to make them learn about science and experiments, sabotage all the lessons and learn all the wrong teachings, never understanding them at first sight. Lonnie always quotes her sister, who is teaching her about sexuality (she always starts every explicit quote with My sister always says...) and we learn from some sketches that Josh has a father and a lost brother whom he wants to find with some help. On occasion Josh's father and Lonnie's mother appears, called out by the teacher for their children's bad behavior.
Trademarks
|
Josh and Lonnie always like to applaud and fist bump each other without any reason, and they like to touch without consent the material for the science experiment. Every word they hear from the teacher in questions for them they assign a different meaning, and they always anger the teacher with nonsensical quotes and sexual innuendos.
