My Top Ten Favorite Lorne Michaels SNL Moments
Lorne Michaels, the Executive Producer and Creator of Saturday Night Live. As of this post, he has made close to 150 appearances on his show. When he makes appearances on the show it’s always a nice treat. We know that the cast and writers are talented, but it’s just a really nice touch to know that the man who created this great show is also really funny and will show off that talent sometimes. Choosing 10 of my favorite moments from him will not be an easy choice.
- Season 1 Episode 18, Lorne offers The Beatles $3,000 to play 3 songs
- Season 27 Episode 1, 9/11 Tribute cold opening
- Season 37 Episode 22, Lorne dancing with Kristen Wiig in her final sketch
- Season 25 Episode 5, Tracy Morgan makes Lorne get him a soda (Go get me a soda…bitch!)
- Season 24 Episode 4, Lorne and Ben Stiller fight at the top of 30 Rock
- Season 26 Episode 6, Lorne and Tom Green in a tub
- Season 31 Episode 16, Lorne in the Laser Cats digital short
- Season 18 Episode 2, Lorne has a bad dream that SNL gets canceled
- Season 15 Episode 10, Lorne explaining the changes SNL will make in the ’90s
- Season 1 Episode 9, Lorne’s very first appearance on camera. the Killer Bees sketch
Like I said, there are close to 150 appearances to choose from so of course I’ve left some other good ones off this list. But these are the ones that I really like
