SNL Cast Members Who Couldn't Stand Their Co-Stars

[@GrungeHQ]

Who have been some of your favorite cast members on SNL?

[@ku4uv]

I can confirm personally that Victoria Jackson is one of the nicest and kindest people you will ever encounter. Victoria is at the top of my list as favorite SNL cast members.

[@MythwrightWorkshop]

Norm Macdonald. Katan wasn't funny

[@Mollikar]

Honestly I have been watching since I was a wee boy in the late 70s some of my memories are Fuzzy but the early cast had individuals but some of the skits were.. experimental but My fondest memories are Eddie Murphy, Fred Armisen and Bill Hader who all consistently did stuff that I liked and didnt annoy me many cast members annoyed me, some of them were very talened on their own or were more like song and dance performers but had inconsistent sketch material. Absolutely cant stand Katan or Shannon they are more annoying than Franken.

Norm, Carvey, Breuer.

That's what I heard too, but I've heard even more about Chevy Chase being a very hated, I hadn't heard anything about Belushi being a jerk to women.

[@Idontwant1]

I haven’t heard anything about him being prickly. I heard that he definitely enjoys doing whatever he thinks sounds fun after work, like flying to Indiana for a Notre Dame game before the playoffs. Then a week later flying to Barcelona for a dinner reservation with some friends. And when they were filming St Vincent Bill had finished his last scene for the week and he left to fly to some fancy golf course. He invited Melissa McCarthy to come join him since she mentioned she liked golf. She turned him down because her husband was bringing her kids for a visit. He never invited her again. But he is always a professional when he’s working. And I’ve heard about all the tabs he’s paid for people in restaurants. Like a Dad and his little boy. They were sitting a few tables away and the Dad got with the kid to take them to the bathroom. And as they walked past Bill the boy said he’s a ghost buster. And after they were on their way back to their table Bill made small talk and of course made the kid free special. As Bill was leaving and the Dad and kid were finishing their meal. The waitress came out with a HUGE vanilla sundae and a tray of a few different sauces and a bunch of different toppings. And said I have to go would you fellas mind eating this for me. They accept it and before he left he paid their tab. Or the couple who had just gotten married. The Bill was in the area and he photo bombed them. They invited him to join them and he did. He danced with the bride and did shots with the groom. Then he scribbled a note as he was sneaking off and he wrote them a personalized note thank you note and gave them a grand. None of that sounds prickly to me.

Why Belushi didn't think women were funny while he was working with Radner is beyond me.

[@M_SC]

Prejudice works like that

[@ToadstedCroaks]

I mean, it was clearly a idiotic stereotype .. but I'm sure he genuinely believed it being around a ton of unfunny women. You just don't see women stand up, and they're generally side characters in any production. Considering just the women mentioned in this video .. he wasn't precisely wrong if that's what he was going by. I can think of very few "celebrity" .. as Tracy would put it... women that I've ever found funny. They can certainly deliver some funny jokes .. but that's the writers pulling their weight. I've never thought " OH! It's _____ ! I need to see what they're doing!" Roseanne Barr is probably the only one I've ever come close to that. She's genuinely witty. even if her brain rotted with age and she went nazi.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

He was a jerk. He's funny as shit but he had a bad attitude about certain things, like women in comedy.

[@LFire12]

Because he was a misogynistic asshole, and if he diminished and dengrated the females, he obviously had a shot at more screen time for himself and anything he wrote.

[@placebojesus5652]

I’ve known many witty funny women in real life, but for whatever reason they don’t seem to raise to the level of hilarity as men as often especially in standup (many women are good comedic actors). At the end of the day, I do think the super rare top level of comedic genius seems lacking in women for some reason, and I’m not exactly sure why but probably some confluence of factors, and I wouldn’t say it’s thus necessarily impossible for women to reach that uber elite level.

And it made me insane! I took to saying “Leave me alone-I need to be at my desk in five minutes” even if I had a leisurely 15 minutes. When hems came down, I was relieved…but even then, it didn’t stop until I was finally middle-aged and my hair turned into a dowdy light brown and my face had finally accrued some creases.

taking anything kattan says is problematic. he constantly changes his story and always in an effort to make himself look better. if anything, he has reenforced the criticism that's been leveled against him through the years just in how he has responded and changed his story constantly.

Same. I've never understood the hype. But I guess he's a comedian's comedian. Janine's comedic sets at comedy clubs were always intelligent. So I can see why she wouldn't be a fan of slapstick.

[@forgetfulstranger]

I think Norm is not for everyone, he has a very specific kind of humour but for those who love him, they are obsessed with him and his work. He once said comedy is surprise, so if you try to make someone laugh and they dont, thats funny. He really only cared for what he found funny and perfected it. Not to mention his sardonic smile and sharp wit, even if he was talking about smth horrible you could take it because of his idiot persona. Humour aside, he is the best talk show guest of all time with how trolls the talk show format

I had no idea just how many actors came and went on that show. I watched it when it began, even though I was a kid, all the other kids talked about was SNL (we called it by its full name) and Rosanne Rosannadanna. We had to watch it just for her. So I would try to stay up to watch it. But then that was it. Occasionally I would stop by and watch Eddie Murphy do his Mr. Rogers neighborhood and Little Richard Simmons but that was pretty much it. I had no idea Jeannine Garafalo was ever on that show, she doesn't seem funny at all to me, but, whatever. Interesting. Oh, and I always heard bad things about Chevy Chase.

Comedy is like music; it is very individual. Some people love a certain comedian, others dislike them. You're going to have ALL of us watching. Some who made it big I loved, or didn't like at all. I can imagine that's a pretty fierce battleground at times. I ish comedians could work on doing things TOGETHER more than they work on competition. I love shows that require all of them to act off the others. It brings out the best in all of them.

[@donskuse2194]

Fallon’s lack of control during a sketch continued with his talk show. He’s so talented but he doesn’t need to suck up to every media personality that he has on the show. Maybe he’s trying to take the shine off others by making his laugh the center of attention. He’s definitely the most insecure celeb I’ve ever seen.

[@directedby5759]

and the way he sucks up is even more annoying because he says the EXACT same thing to everyone,"There ya go! That's how you do it!"....and for someone who was on an sketch show, he always steps on other people's jokes or messes them up. Comedians who he interviews will say something sarcastic and he'll be like, "Nooo no, you can't say that" or something else to kill the joke, instead of adding on to it, or making it banter like Conan would do.

Being kind and respectful and helping other people however I can. Because of a botched back surgery I have lost full use of my legs. I was shopping at the grocery store. And I was approached by a few religious nuts. Asking if they could pray for me. I said no thank you. And I rolled away. My son told me that they were following us. My son left my side to go to the meat counter. And he was gone literally 45 seconds. And the religious nuts approached again. And I told them to stop don’t say another word. I’m really not interested in whatever they are pushing. And I rolled 5 feet to the bread section. And these 2 freaks approach AGAIN. The 3rd time within a 20 minute shopping trip. And I asked are you 2 suffering from a brain injury??? They looked shocked and shook their heads no. And I asked are Autistic? Again shook their heads no!!! Then I asked are you mentally disabled? And they said no. And then I said oh so you’re just STUPID. And they practically ran for the door to leave the store. My son watched me from the counter. And laughed because he could see I had full control over the situation. Being polite didn’t work with them. Being blunt didn’t work with them. Being straight up rude was the only way to get my point to leave me alone. I don’t like being mean. But when people refuse to hear me. Then I’m left with no choice to get them to walk away. After I paid the bill. We left and saw them at the stop light. Thankfully they didn’t even look in our direction.

@@jsmall10671 just because you're not fond of the idea of God has zero bearing on whether God is real.

But fair enough, if people prefer to hold onto their delusion of no God, that's their prerogative. I still think it's noble to attempt to shed the light of truth into the lives of those who have poisoned their minds with obvious lies. It is indeed noble to try to help someone in the biggest and most profound way possible. It's also important to allow moral agents to make their own choices and to respect that agency in their souls to choose as they would.

There is no category of people on the planet as nasty to each other as comics. Comics and TV comedy writers are absolutely brutal. They are among the most insecure people alive, consequently, when they have success they almost instantly become absolutely insufferable narcissists, and if they don’t have success, or not as much as they want, they become bitter and petty like no one else. There are exceptions, but in general, they are awful to each other. They don’t necessarily treat other people badly, but I have never seen bullying and outright cruelty like I’ve seen it among comics and especially comedy writers, and I’ve had a wide experience of workplaces.

[@MrBsbotto]

What a profound post, ME! Comics and comedians are usually among the most depressed of performers. Dunno why. Something to do with mining people's worst traits to find raw material, perhaps? Not saying they're all assholes, just not as peppy and ebullient as their exteriors would lead you to believe. I'm not sure why, but it makes me sad when you see really funny people fall into petty competition and bad-mouthing, instead of slip-streaming off each other's wit. Observe Robin Williams and Johnathan Winters to get a glimpse of "generous geniuses" with enough self-assurance to share the glee.

I just finished reading LIVE FROM NEW YORK and it's incredible. Janeane Garofalo needs to get down off her cross. She admits that from Day One she had a shitty attitude about the show.

Meanwhile everyone else who was working their asses off to make a good programme was having to stand by and watch one of their cast members try to hurt the show. Believe me, once she finally did leave she was not missed.

There is a pattern here. Famous people tend to be petty, selfish, envious and vindictive. They manipulate, lie and scheme against each other.

[@batsnackattack]

No and all of that is just the most silly thing someone outside that world might believe. You'd find, in their circles, no more and no less than at your secretary job, your muffler repair shop, your factory and any other field in the world. As a broad rule, nearly the opposite of what you've descrbed makes or breaks success: people who are pricks, who throw others under the bus, who cheat, these people will lose out. Those who stay gracious and humble will win more success. Of course the ultimate success tests remains selling tickets. Something else you'd probably believe is they are all shallow people who need 'attention' to feel good. Those people exist (like among your fellow secretaries or gas and oil workers or staff anywhere) but find me a celebrity who's done well enough to become famous and almost without exception they have very little interest in the 'famous' part of things. It's nearly necessary to get and stay 'famous' to be a type who does not have much interest in that kind of attention and handles it as a professional and friendly part of their job even if they themselves would rather not be famous outside the career opportunities it comes with.
