You know what, I was reminded
of that Michael Jordan actually,
when I was watching that
Michael Jordan documentary,
that he did Saturday Night
Live. Did you work with him?
So I did um, one sketch with
him. He came in and he was very,
very cool. I didn't want to bug him,
you know, he's meeting 50 people.
He has no reason to
meet me or remember me.
But I was in a sketch where we were all
white guys and we didn't want him on our
basketball team cause he was
black. It was like in the '50s
and we were like, who wants this guy?
And they're like, he's really good,
you know as a coach like in the '50s and
the announcer was Rob Schneider going,
'Look at him dribbling around he's really
giving the referee the business' And
then at halftime we're like,
'Hey we don't want you on
the team anymore.' And he
goes 'I scored 50 points!'
And we're like, I know we won't say it's
because he's black or like it's just,
he's not fitting in here.
And it was me, Mike Myers,
and Adam and they're all
kicking him off and he goes,
'So you all want me to
leave?' And he goes,
'Even you Peewee ?' And I go like this.
We wrote up a petition to get you
off the team and everyone signed it.
PeeWee, you too?
Look at this picture I found
out, you want me to show you?
Yeah, show me. Sure. What do you got?
This was an old SNL picture.
Is that kind of fun to see?
So when you're a writer and you're
new and they don't like you that much,
they make you do promos.
So I had to write for it,
but that was the funnest job because
you walk in, there's Phil as Clinton,
Luke Perry was the host and then Mick
Jagger was music and Lorne is in the
background.
What a great picture.
And I remember that was during a February
sweeps run where McCartney was the
music, Madonna was the music,
and I think Alec Baldwin was one of
the hosts and Tom Hanks was one of the
hosts. So it was like fat run,
big ratings. Everybody's great.
And then I do promos and they
think I'm the best writer,
but they don't realize they
give the worst writer promos.
So I go up there and I'm like, 'Tom,
I feel this. You should be like,
you know more of it.
I don't feel like coming out
of you.' And then they're like,
'This fucking asshole's telling me what
to do?' And then Lorne's back there,
'He's our number one.'
