Lorne Michaels (Part 2) | Full Episode | Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade 

"Every camel works at Christmas." So funny

I wish Lorne Michaels would write a book. I can't even comprehend all of the events and people that he could tell some great (but not hurtful) stories about. Mainly I would love to have all of his feelings about the greats that he helped launch.

Holy Sh!t! Lorne Michaels? This was epic, I hope he returns again.

Thank you for this podcast. It is wonderful to hear the voice and the stories.

I had to rewind that part several times when Lorne says “you don’t know why it catches on but then you run it into the ground” that was the funniest thing I’ve heard in awhile. He voiced what I was always thinking back then “why do people think this is so funny?” lol even though I was one of them

This was such an amazing interview! I wish you could have gone on for days. Such fantastic stories about the show I've watched from the beginning when I was in high school 50 years ago.

Please continue to release Saturday Night Live seasons on dvd/blu ray/4k/physical media. Sincerely - the fans

“… ran it into the ground.” Classic. 😂😂😂 Thanks Lorne ❤

This podcast is the best thing since Lights Out.

David is one of the funniest people ever. He would be all laughs all the time to hang out with. What a great talent - deserved to be a much bigger star right at the top.

being able to see the skits easily now. Many times during these 2 podcasts I paused and looked up the skit. Even if I knew the skit, I want to see it again after you guys are done discussing it.

This was incredible!

Massive Headwound Harry is always the 2nd original Dana Carvey character that comes to mind when I try to mentally list original Dana Carvey characters, which is surprisingly frequent. The first being Church Lady, the third being Hans, then Garth, and now you know more trivia about me than anyone cares to know.

Awesome interview! You could get 20 episodes from Lorne!

Everyone on this earth needs to occasionally step back and thank Lorne Michaels for the half century of comedy production and star creation. Whatever awards there are, don’t encompass what he’s done.

"The problem with making it look easy is that it looks easy. And it's your job to make it look easy." - my fave Lorne line, from Coms in Cars Getting Coffee.

It's so true that casts that aren't popular, are looked back on years later as great.

Glad they mentioned my favorite skits. The Continental with Walkin

Really great interview with Mr. Lorne Michaels. Obviously you guys have a great show. Kinda wanted to hear you both ask, ‘so Lorne, what show would you say that you wanted me to just walk away, but come back next week.’

Lorne came on toooo?! Wooo🎉🎉🎉 i have ten in a row to catch up on, awesome show🎉🎉🎉❤

Great great great interview. SNL came out my senior year of High School. Not every skit works, but the ones that do are infamous very often. I have soooooo many favorite skits I can't even begin to start to list them. Love the podcast and hearing all about the behind the scenes stuff. Take care.

Hey, Cheri was fantastic as Ross Perot. Wait a minute, Goodman as Linda Tripp, was spot on!

I learned something that I could not have anticipated. Lorne Michaels loves those nervous quick add-ins that David Spade drops because (seemingly) he can't help himself. One of your most revealing conversations. The three of you show that you were in your element, and it wasn't just by chance.

Thank you for having Lorne on the show. After listening to both parts, I could listen to more. Bravo!

I so appreciate this podcast. I love comedy. I love you guys. And I have loved all of the casts of SNL I started watching the show starting with the first season. I remember coming home from work never having watched it before. I turned on the TV and Chevy was giving the news. And of course, the lines he was throwing out with the deadpan expression was killing me. I remember laughing so hard, I started crying. Never missed a show after that. Thank you for making me laugh.

I was in high school when SNL started and have watched every season forward. I do agree with Loren on how we judge the “best cast” on when we were in HS. But I truly love almost every season. Each year or group of years the cast add their own unique talents in different ways. I’m not sure SNL should go on after Loren (kind of like trying to replace Alex Trebek-you can but it’s never quite the same). 🥰

I loved that sketch where he saved Conan from the glue factory

"its that thing of what are you not allowed to say" is a pretty good one

first time ive ever heard Lorne talk, only heard everyone's impersonation.....now i just picture Dr Evil talking lol

It was great to hear Lorne talk about the concert

Never heard him interviewed, so many stories! 👍🏻

Dana&David Are FAB Podcasters 🦅♥️🌟💙💪💪🦅🎤🎤

I love when Dana imitates Lorne. He’s spit on 🤣

Dana! I don't remember saying that about Alec Baldwin!!! I did have to kiss him in lots of sketches so I felt like we'd already been on 5 dates!!! I'm glad he was not interested in me.

This just scratched the surface of Lorne's career. If he wrote a book, it would need at least as many chapters as seasons. Not sure why the minutia of behind the scenes at SNL is so fascinating, but I could listen to this and this only.

I could use a part 3-22 of this. cant get enough 😊

I started tearing up listening to him talk about producing the show after Sandy Hook

"Camels work at Christmas"

"Bear suits are funny. And bears as well!"

Great Lorne quote “don’t tell us what’s funny”

If Lorne writes a book, it should be titled "Every Camel Works at Christmas"

The Emma Stone/Gilda Radner makes a lot of sense. This guy can’t help but me so interesting.

Lorne was just so natural. I feel like he didn't say anything he didn't believe. And he's dryly funny. I haven't enjoyed a podcast more than this one.

I never heard of David spade before. He's actually pretty good 👍 😂😂😂😂

Lord Michaels! All hail Lord Michaels!

Wow, Lorne Michaels is hilarious dry, starting with the camel thingy he’s clearly having a good time. Dry interesting unique wit 😢 the hump got stuck in the ceiling tile.

I briefly met Mr. Michaels during dress rehearsal ... I was a guest of a crew member. He was polite he could see the excitement in my eyes being a musician standing there slobbering over Metallica rehearsing LOL. Thanks for letting me fanboy

17:35 Put that on a loop. (Getting a little misty here...).

Joe Piscapo should take over for Lorne!

The whole interview I keep thinking of everyone's impressions of him. "It's that thing......." Loved it😆

There are some SNL episodes and sketches that are not available to watch on RU-vid. For example: David Spade's "Dick Clark Productions Receptionist" sketch and the Alec Baldwin "Greenhilly" and "The Young & The Youthful" sketches.

Dr. Evil does FLY!!!

Amazingly sad that the one Beatle that didn't appear on SNL was John Lennon.

Wish they talked to Lorne about his relationship with Pete.

I think David Spade has a great voice.

Future generations will appreciate Paul McCartney for who he actually is- the greatest genius of pop-rock! : D

Dana’s Lovitz has a touch of Kate Hepburn.

Yes.. I too search for each sketch and watch them as they come up in conversation.

Lorne is the Real Wizard of Oz, but you look behind the curtain and realize magic is real…we won’t even realize how good this is for years…

When are you guys going to interview Land of Gorch?

"Okay we will take a 20 min break and then start the podcast."

Biggest surprise, producer- Tracy Morgan.

Don't bounce Happy Fun Ball

on wikipedia it says Alicia keys had "trademark cornrows" and it sunk my battleship

Never mind. Too many interruptions and I've heard him talk about all this before.

Has any person ever live on air gone rogue?

the ice cream truck scene in the movie Electra Glide in Blue, the two girls, the one in red became Lorne's wife. check it out maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

"I put Trump on SNL because I wanted to give nazis equal time." "Oh we worship your comedy gifts!" - Spade and Carvey

Who sucks on hard candy for the entire duration of a recorded interview ??

6:58. .

what about Chris Kattan?

Not somebody so young but someone who's better writer and I don't know if you don't you don't need a performer but someone who wrote someone who might who has produced I would say Seth Meyers might be a good candidate for filling in for Lauren Michaels. The female side you could go with Tina Fey she's written produced directed Well if you did pick Seth Meyers you'd have to try to find a replacement for Seth on his current show and I think Liza Schlesinger would be a perfect slot in for that, she can definitely do a news bit and have her own opinion and not be afraid to express it, you know you're going to hear about her boobs at least once a month, and boobs are always funny. But I haven't really strong punch that she would know how to listen in interviews. Yeah she's she's wacky during the pandemic cooking show with her husband/boyfriend I think it's her husband I don't know, but you also know she can be serious as well she had to be. Why not bring a little bit more levity a little bit more silliness from a female perspective in a late night show but she really we really haven't had that yet, a major Network.

I wish they had asked Lorne about the perception that SNL has become explicitly politically liberal, to the detriment of its humor. Does he recognize any truth in that perception? Does he think it's important for a comedy show to strive for political balance? How do you appeal to both sides in a politically divided country, or is that important?

I'm hearing the same schtick while reminiscing ? " fall in love again " ?

I am a great fan of Alec Baldwin, but Darrell Hammond did a much better impression of Trump. SNL should have kept Darrell.

Odd how Alec Baldwin was the actual person that shot and killed a woman, and mother, in a movie that he was producing.

I'm loving these interviews, but wish it could be more about the guest and the guest's experiences and just a little less about the interviewer and his perspective from his own time on the show.

Conan OBrien would be an amazing replacement for Lorne

SNL isn't what it was to me. Maybe I grew out of the demographic. I used to plot my weeks towards SNL... and I will always have a nostalgic tilt towards the sketches.

Who's next? Soros, Schwab and the dark lord of the Siths?😅

I just don't get it? SNL was fearless. They didn't care who they made fun of. Now there's boundaries and fear of getting canceled. How is it alright for women to play men on the show but men playing women is off limits?

I was really hoping to hear about the Shane Gillis controversy. He clearly thought highly of Shane.

Hey dudes! Make it bettererrrrr

conan.

Get Victoria Jackson on PLEASE.

Keenan on 30 Rock? Did he mean Tracy Morgan? Lorne is an interesting guy, but that dry mouth makes it almost impossible to listen to this interview for someone with Misophonia 😊

Never liked the Beatles music and I've tried now that I'm older and still I just can't get into it at all. Some songs I like but most are just boring to me. Jazz and blues are about the only 2 genres I can't get into.

I've been such a big fan for decades. The anti Trump stuff got way out of control. I haven't watched since. It just stopped being funny.

Why you can't trust what they do. It's great women are playing men. John Goodman playing a woman, verboten. Not only wouldn't we do it, it's wrong. Total BS.

its so awkward to listen to David Spade try to fit in

Luv ya Dana....but your are too ... Thirsty.

Such narcissists, talking so much on their own podcast. Why won't they let silence say something?

Good lord, this is boring.

Was not flavor it was biased

What happened in the 2016 election?
