Larry David Heckled Michael McKean
During the first season of SNL, Larry David was unable to get along with anyone. It’s well-known that the writer left and then returned because he was upset that his sketches weren’t airing. During a live shoot, David once taunted actor Michael McKean (pictured) backstage.
Even though Larry David’s time on Saturday Night Live was less than stellar, he did get to meet Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Later on, he cast the actress on Seinfeld, for which she won an Emmy Award for her performance. She’s now up to eight!
Eddie Murphy Raged at David Spade
It was Eddie Murphy in the early ’80s who was the biggest name on Saturday Night Live. To make matters worse, he was the tyke. Murphy quit the sketch show in 1984 to focus on his acting career. If you’ve seen any of his commercials, you’ll know that he has a worldwide following.
David Spade, an SNL cast member, made a joke about Murphy when his career was stagnant in the 1990s. There is speculation as to why Murphy didn’t return for several years after this incident.
