Stephen “Demo” DeMaria has been building sets for “Saturday Night Live” since before the show even aired — he helped build seats for the live studio audience ahead of "SNL's" Oct. 11, 1975 premiere.
Over the decades, he ascended the ranks from set builder to “The Boss of The Carpenters,” as the 87-year-old Brooklyn native calls himself. His official title is foreman, and he oversees a team of nearly 50 carpenters who race to build the show’s sets every week. He works for Stiegelbauer Associates, the family-owned scenic shop that has also built sets for the "Today Show" and the "Late Show with Seth Meyers."
But after 50 years building sets for the show, he plans to retire this Saturday – after attending "SNL’s" 50th season wrap party, of course.
