Visualizing SNL's Stefon
Tableau Public's 'Iron Viz' is the world's largest data visualization competition.
The 2022 Global Qualifier theme was 'Visualizing the Arts'.
My mind immediately went to building a submission that features the art of sketch comedy like that of Saturday Night Live. I had an idea for a viz a while back to catalog and visualize all the SNL sketches that feature the iconic character Stefon played by Bill Hader.
The sketches, which aired though out the 2010s, are all in a similar format and delivery, which made it great for organizing the various components into a data visualization.
If you're not familiar with Stefon, this may be a little niche for you. But, if you like to laugh then I promise a bit of exploring of the viz below will have you in stitches in only a matter of time.
