Heidi Gardner gives home tour.

KANSAS CITY — There’s no place like home. Heidi Gardner of “Saturday Night Live” gave Architectural Digest a tour of her 70s-style home in Kansas City. And, dude, the place f*cking rocks! Heidi, 41, shares the crib with her three cats: Tweaky, Cubby Bear and John Ross Jr. Built by Don Drummond — and with the help of Tara Davis of Cicada Company and Brooklyn-based interior designer Madelynn Hudson — the disco-era residence contains vaulted ceilings, wood-paneled walls, and a double-sided natural-stone fireplace. The abode’s interior is reminiscent of the San Fernando Valley dwelling of Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 showbiz drama “Boogie Nights” — Heidi’s favorite movie. “My dream was to make the house a sexy-chic time capsule,” said the Kansas City native. “At night, it really is like Studio 54 in here. I call the house a dream theater.” Heidi’s primary closet was inspired by her stay-at-home mom — Patricia Gardner — who had “the most fun closet ever.” We’re talkin’ shaker cabinets inset with mauve pink grass cloth coupled with a spacious marble vanity.
The nostalgic conglomeration also features Gary Gutterman’s 1980 Plexa chair sourced from Betsu Studio, a faux zebra rug from CB2, and a bullion trimmed ottoman from Lulu and Georgia. “This whole closet was to honor my mom, who had the most fun closet ever when I was growing up. Instead of doing Tupperware parties, her and her friends would do lingerie parties,” Heidi recalled.
“I’ve found myself just throwing clothes on the floor because it almost looks more feminine — like a woman just ran in and kicked off her shoes. I love having this space to indulge a bit more.”
Social media reaction was a big thumb’s up 👍.
One commenter wrote, “She did that house amazing justice! KC is so proud of her too.”
Another chimed in with, “It’s a mid-century modern masterpiece! Absolutely stunning!”
A third viewer added, “I can’t tell if Saturday Night Live pays well or if she was born rich. Lol.”
Heidi was a hairdresser for 9 years prior to joining SNL.
She’s also the world’s biggest fan of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Watch Heidi give one helluva tour.

Being funny pays off.
Dayum, SNL cast get paid a helluva lot more than I was led to believe.
Someone needs to ask her when is SNL ever going to be funny again
Even though it’s not my style it’s something to admire. Such a vibe
I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, and this hearkens back like a beautiful dream—however it doesn’t take me completely back to where I’m smelling stale cigarettes. Love it!!
The house is just a whole disaster
I didn’t know SNL people made that kinda money.
But…but…but…she’s wearing shoes inside the house? 🤯
I’m American and I don’t wear shoes inside, who does that? Shoes stay at the door, don’t be tracking outside filth indoors.
I wonder what part of Kansas City this is? The house was originally designed by Don Drummond, who did a lot of houses in the Prairie Village area (where I grew up). This could be PV – or maybe Mission Hills?
Not my personal taste, but I love this space for her. The one thing I absolutely do love is that custom bar. I would give anything for that bar.
Gotta love some Heidi Gardner!!!
I absolutely love that house! So classy and cool.
WOW 🤩 Heidi is a Stylist (hair!)
Expect high end fashion and super VIP style…Nothing less‼️
Wait so does she fly back and forth for snl???
This house was cool, and I’m glad she made it her own while keeping it’s roots, but she lost me when she said she was a Chiefs fan.
what a gorgeous house!
Kansas City, home of the best strip clubs.
Who else gasped with they saw her disco hood?!?
THE DISCO HOOD !!!!!!!!!
Cats! UGH…….the smell ruins the house
I love her house it’s very 70’s modern. Couldn’t live in it though because it gives 70’s serial killer vibes (that’s what I associate with that style of houses🤷🏿♀️) I love love love her kitchen sink and primary bathroom mirror
So classy, fresh, and unique ❤
A super nice midwest girl. Glad she’s not ashamed of her roots.
Well isn’t that special!
AMAZING! Who knew you could find something like this in KC?!?!? WOW. Love it!!
Cozy and funky. Nice❤
Heidi is so cool, and so talented!
I need to know where is she hiding the litterboxes in this gorgeous house
When I saw her I legit thought it’s an SNL skit about Architectural Digest
i thought snl didnt pay that well?
I love that Heidi loves her family so much and her hometown of Kansas City. She’s really promoting the artists and the creative businesses there.
Heidi is so beautiful and talented, it’s not surprising that her house reflects that.
I like her dad’s taste in music..I was surprised to see art-rock/prog instead of jazz, given this is Kansas City..
I don’t like her. Nice cuck couch.
