Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and Seth Meyers Recall Prince’s “SNL” Afterparty 

being sassy about lol

I aspire.

Yeah? Seems dreary and dumb to me.

Lo

Sassy. Lol perfect word to describe him

I’d put him up there with Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy and Phil Hartman in terms of best SNL cast members. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are also two of the greats.

he looks high!

Bill Hader's laugh should be bottled as a cure for depression.

YESS.

Do some searching. There are a few long form Documentary Now interview panels that are pure gold!

I need them to sit a little closer next time.

I could listen to them all day. The Documentary Now panel where they go off on Pierre is AMAZE

Add Mulaney and Rafi (can’t spell his name) and it would be the best

I thought the exact same thing. Even Fred was trying to be like "no it wasnt like that". Howard was probably projecting his own anxieties

Clarissa R He’s insecure.

I know! I was thinking Howard must have social anxiety or some other issues where he thinks of the worst case scenario in a social situation. I don’t get how saying “do you know what I think the greatest is? This Mac n cheese.” is in no way belittling. Objectively there’s nothing negative about it. The story Fred told was funny. If I was there if he like “really it’s that good?! Ill have to try some.” But damn Howard must distrust ppl and their intentions. Howard be acting like prince knew Fred wanted confirmation from him and activity with and it. Or dude doesn’t like prince.

Probably because Howard is such a people person. He can’t imagine someone not engaging with fans.

Howard should understand more than anyone bc he hates compliments.

His Vincent Price is timeless.

IKR? I don't know what's wrong with Armisen or Howard for thinking that was a weird response. To me it sounds like he was just trying to make Fred relax and say, "Yeah, welp...can't disagree with that. Lemme get a blow of that...it looks like it's the shit" and then have a laugh. Instead, Fred gets all weirded out. I don't get it.

There are fans, and then there are fans who know...

Exactly!!! Howard seem like he was reaching for some bullshit

Prince had a good sense of humor....but he was far from a "normal guy".

He said it as a way to respond to "you are so great".

I think he just is so interested in his persona that it come off that way

He likes to tell a story about when he went to an intimate, small, private Prince concert, and Prince insisted on performing with the lights out so no one could see him. I think he was insulted and felt like he wasted his time. He may even claim to have walked out - I forget the details - seems like maybe there were no chairs, either. So yeah, he probably does have animosity towards him. Howard's ego is as big as anyone's in show business.

Has always praised his talent.

Yep. From when he went to his show and Prince kept the lights off.

Howard told a story where Prince performed at a private party but had the lights turned off and this pissed Howard off. He's a big fan of Prince's music.

Pancakes... LMAO 😅😅😅 Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories! 😅😅😅😅😅

If it was me, I would have pulled a Chris Farley and start screaming at myself as I left Prince's table. "Dang it! That was SO stupid! I knew I'd screw that up!"

We said... he was a musica Genius but it came naturally to him like math to Will Hunting or something :)

Yeah, I was actually surprised (and disappointed) by Fred's reaction (Prince was funny). I would think he'd understand as a fan... (...)

I agree. I think he was poking holes in fame. A commentary on the absurdity of celebrity. It’s why he disassociated the man from the symbol(ism). Cerebral man. He got it.

So when he borrowed then smashed Kirk Douglas's guitar on Fallon, he was doing it for God? No need to worship him like he was some kind of saint. He wasn't.

Bill is physically incapable of *not* doing a Lorne Michaels impression lol

It's true those two guys funny as shit

Word... Because too much is insincere and simply celebrity worship, right?

It would be creepy for anyone.

Yeah exactly. Wanted to distract the attention away from himself... while eating Mac & cheese. Kinda obvious, or so it seems

it's adorable innit

Of course

All the Charlie Murphy stories are true

Confirmed multiple times

@@nifemi_o RIP Charlie

Duh. He was the brother of Eddie Murphy, one of the biggest stars of the 80s. Charlie was his bodyguard. Damn. Why do you even join these conversations when you have no culture lol
