went on to help make a far superior sketch comedy show in in living color.

In fact every sketch comedy i've ever seen outside of SNL has been better than SNL

In Living Color
Mad TV
Chappelle Show
Key and Peele
All that
The fukking Muppet Show
I'd even give mind of mencia and iinside amy schumer the nod over snl if they wasn't stealing jokes.

This was hard to watch.
SNL is hard to watch. there was a brief time in the 80's then like 92-96 when it was funny. but i feel like that shyt was just off the sheer luck and talent. after will farell blew up and all them folks got movies like superstar and ladies man, shyt been SUPER ASS.

Because he was suppose to stand there and read the lines and go unnoticed. I guess back then being a gay was funny.

Damon talked about how SNL was trying to limit his creativity. They were turning down his pitches for sketches and he felt like he wasn't allowed to be himself. It was because Lorne Michaels was trying to keep him from being compared to Eddie Murphy. He went off script and made the character gay just as a way of expressing how tired he was with the show.



Some of what he ended up doing on In Living Color was rejected material from SNL.
