Rachel Dratch’s Back Injury
Dratch spent the rest of the rehearsal lying on the floor under the table, shouting her lines to an audience of more than 100 people after injuring her back during a read-through.
As for Amy Poehler, she thinks Dratch was a total champ. It was Knoxville, who was hosting at the time, who offered her some loose pills from his pocket to help her.
Kate McKinnon Punched a Hole
Every once in a while Kate McKinnon would break their office walls open with a hammer while Aidy Bryant was away from her desk doing her work. McKinnon had heard that the SNL headquarters were undergoing renovations and that all of the walls and furniture would be demolished.
In the wake of this, McKinnon decided to savor the moment. For Bryant’s friend, the bad news was that the walls weren’t going to be demolished, but rather painted over. Oh, my goodness.
