In 2025, the first episode of the Saturday Night Live documentary SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night featured footage of an audition Zebrowski performed fully naked, fifteen years earlier. Former producer and head of talent Lindsay Shookus stated in the episode that “Three minutes in, he came out from the wall and he was completely naked... It was such a shock. I have no idea what he did at that point… He was ‘the naked guy.’” Shookus did, however, note that the nudity was not why Zebrowski wasn’t hired {{cite web |last1=Riccardo |first1=Nick |title=SNL's Naked Audition Guy Has No Regrets |url=https://latenighter.com/news/snls-naked-audition-guy-has-no-regrets/ |website=latenighter.com |date=23 January 2025 |publisher=LateNighter |accessdate=25 January 2025}} and that the nudity had been agreed to beforehand.

Zebrowski responded on an Side Stories episode of Last Podcast on the Left that he did not know the audition footage would feature in the documentary until it aired, but was happy to have had the experience, stating “I am just so tickled that this fucking happened.” He stated that the main reason he was unsuccessful in joining the cast of SNL was because “I was a sloppy clown… and it was a thing that [SNL] sort of liked before… [By 2010] they just kind of weren’t going for that angle. They were going for very clean-cut people with that style of, like, they can go straight from this to a Revlon commercial to a network sitcom, and there’s no alt in there.” He also noted that Lorne Michaels told him he loved his naked monologue.{{cite web |last1=Riccardo |first1=Nick |title=SNL's Naked Audition Guy Has No Regrets |url=https://latenighter.com/news/snls-naked-audition-guy-has-no-regrets/ |website=latenighter.com |date=23 January 2025 |publisher=LateNighter |accessdate=25 January 2025}}
