The disastrous box office performances of the SNL spinoff movies Stuart Saves His Family and It's Pat likely hurt the film's prospects, but Schwarzenegger dropping out proved an insurmountable obstacle. Schwarzenegger expressed an interest and was at one point to co-produce, but ultimately declined to participate following the poor reception of his self-parodying vehicle Last Action Hero. Carvey discussed the script under the title Hans and Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma during a 2016 interview with Howard Stern. In a 2010 interview on Conan, Nealon and host Conan O'Brien discussed being holed up in a Santa Monica hotel room for a month with Carvey and Robert Smigel working on the script for what was then intended to be a musical. Starting in the early 1990s, a Hans and Franz film was in development, with the working title Hans and Franz Go to Hollywood. In 2014, the duo appeared in several State Farm commercials with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In the sketch, Hans and Franz tell the story of how they were reunited in Hollywood when Franz unsuspectingly had his buttocks "read" by Hans. It appeared in a later episode that season.

Franz also considered the Weekend Update sketches were not good since they replaced the past anchor (also played by Kevin Nealon).Ī short sketch was filmed for the show's 1999 primetime 25th Anniversary Special which spoofed VH1's Behind the Music specials, but time constraints prevented it from airing. However, a 1994 episode where Carvey hosted had Hans and Franz appearing as guest commentators as Weekend Update, with the pair mentioning they took some time off and were dismayed at the show's crew for dismantling their set. The first sketch in which the characters appear occurred during the season premiere of the 13th season.Īfter Carvey left the show, the sketch was retired. The idea for the characters of Hans and Franz came in 1987 in a Des Moines, Iowa, hotel room while Nealon was watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger television interview during Nealon's and Carvey's first comedy tour.
Rather than hand out high sugar candy, Hans and Franz gave "treats" of Vitamin C pills, coconut oil, and bee pollen to encourage kids to stay in shape. The two compared how their Terminators were tougher, then derided other "girlie" costumes, even a boy who was Superman. Hans and Franz both dressed up as their idol, Arnold Schwarzengger, specifically Franz as the T-800 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Hans as the titular character from the first film. One sketch that did not have the pair in their signature sweatsuits and leather belts was a Halloween episode. Another sketch was done in response to recent sports news, where a " Saturday Night Live editorial" showed Hans and Franz barking back at a recent remark by Jimmy the Greek that African men were more apt to be muscular than European men. Schwarzenegger made one guest appearance in the sketch (to much applause) in which he ridicules "his cousins" for being "girlie" and weak. " Pumping Up" primarily consists of Hans and Franz denigrating others for not being strong and as physically fit as they appear to be, striking bodybuilder poses to show off their "muscled" bodies, complete with strained facial expressions. The sketch's introductory and ending music featured mock Austrian yodeling. The background of the set includes several life-sized cutouts of Schwarzenegger during his competition years. In the sketch, Carvey and Nealon play a pair of muscle-bound Austrian bodybuilders in the mold of Arnold Schwarzenegger, using padding for fake muscles, drab gray sweatsuits, weight belts, and speaking with Austrian accents. Hans and Franz are characters in a recurring sketch called " Pumping Up with Hans & Franz" on the television sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, played by Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon, respectively.
