Loved chatting w/ Ian Karmel about writing for James Corden, Mel Brooks, & getting put on Tom Cruise's famous cake list. Listen>> latenighter.com/podcasts/ins…
Mike Ditka was royalty when I lived in Arlington Heights, IL. When I got to briefly meet him it was a huge deal. I hope SNL does a bumper honoring him this Saturday. Or better yet @TriumphICDHQ, Mike Myers, & Jason Sudeikis do a #DaBears tribute sketch.

Not True. Schwimmer arrived to SNL on Wednesday in time for afternoon read through.
David Schwimmer says he showed up to SNL on Thursday instead of Monday and spent years not knowing why the writers hated him
"I was the first in the cast of Friends to be invited to host Saturday Night Live"
"I really didn't get to arrive at SNL until Thursday, two days before the Saturday show"
"when I walked into the writers room, the entire writing staff looked at me as if I had just slept with their mom"
"it wasn't until years later... someone else who hosted the show said, No, you're supposed to show up on a Monday"
This took Peter Lassally weeks of prodding for Carson to commit. Letterman later said this was the greatest day of his life. Carson was reluctant to appear on CBS due to his friendship w/ NBC Pres. Bob Wright

The SNL sketch that got Damon Wayans fired mid-season was this "Mr. Monopoly" sketch where Wayans decided before the show went live to play his cop character as flamboyantly gay.
Wayans later said that Eddie Murphy previously warned him he better come up with his own sketch ideas or the other writers were going to write him as stereotypical black characters. "Everything Eddie said came true." As for why Wayans chose this particular moment to rebel, he said, "I snapped. I just did not care. I purposefully did that because I wanted [Lorne Michaels] to fire me," which host Griffin Dunne said he saw occur literally right after they all walked off stage.
3/4 singing “No Man’s Land”. When I landed a job at Late Show I couldn’t believe it. I count myself lucky: I was in the studio for Letterman’s 5th anniversary show (the last anniversary show he’d ever do) and attended the holiday party (the last official holiday Dave would ever
