When will Lorne Michaels be exposed

Damon started a family dynasty so it worked out

 

[KidJSoul]

SNL has never really been super funny to me. It will never be BAD to where I cringe and gotta change the channel, but it has rarely made me laugh out loud

 

[Peruvian Connect]

SMH. One minute yall are disgusted with the "agenda", now yall saluting a black man who adlibbed an alternative character. Yall nikkas is weird

Damon had a cameo on SNL with David Alan Grier when he hosted in the 90s. They did the Men on Film remix, but Colin Quinn played it alongside Grier.

Then Damon hosted SNL in either ‘95 or ‘96.

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.

I disagree. They've had their moments. SNL would've been cancelled a long time ago if it were as bad as some people say it is.

Jay Mohr said Lorne chewed him out for his sketch doing a Christopher Walken impersonation went too long and it only went too long because the audience was laughing hard as hell and Jay would pause so he wasn't trying to talk over them.

Why Does “Saturday Night Live” Creator Lorne Michaels Dislike Improvising? | Read | The Take

Rather, Lorne has commented that improv does not gel with the live nature of the show. Specifically, if an actor improvises a line without warning they can throw off the timing and placement of the other performers. Every line has a specific camera cut linked to it and if the sketch performers aren’t in the right places, the planned shot will be missed and it cannot be fixed. Producing a live show means walking a tightrope between complete disaster (you can’t redo a live show) and greatness; and in order to produce the best show possible, Lorne Michaels feels that it is essential to cut out the ad-libbing and the improvising even if it means hamstringing a performer’s strong suit.

Adrien Brody got banned for doing this shyt without permission

What was the point of making the cop a fakkit?

He was trying to get fired.

But the Wayans sure as hell love the gay shyt.

 

[Threnody]

There was never a consistant period of time after the early 80s where SNL was funny shyt should have been taken off the air after the fall of the berlin wall

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Damon is a low key GOAT. His run in the 90s is slept on.
