Norm McDonald Fought an Intern
Norm McDonald is a Canadian actor, comedian, and writer who appeared on Saturday Night Live from 1993 to 1999. Wyatt Cenac, a comedian and writer, was then an intern on the show and played soccer with the star at one point. Cenac was enraged when he accidentally kicked McDonald.
“He grabbed me, tried to throw me across the room, which is not how soccer is played,” Wayne Cenac later told Stephen Colbert. He continued, “And I pushed him off me.”
John Mulaney Made Bill Break
Before starring in major films and creating his own series, Bill Hader made his name as a stand-up comic and actor on Saturday Night Live. Hader played Stefan, a Weekend Update city correspondent, on the live comedy show from 2005 to 2013.
Putting his hands on his face isn’t just a character trait for Stefan. In order to make Bill Hader laugh, John Mulaney, who had been on the show for a decade, reworked some jokes prior to airing.
