He faced lots of resistance as part of the original cast of ‘Saturday Night Live,’ but he credits producer Lorne Michaels for having his back, praises Richard Pryor and, when it comes to comedy, thinks everyone just needs to relax.
Really? Why?They were going after him. That was a response to something.I got from that: Relax, everybody, this is comedy. Everybody can be the butt of a joke. And why should it be that if we joke about you, it’s sacrilege? You sit in the audience and laugh at jokes about everybody else. If we make a joke about trans [people] or gays, suddenly it’s sacrilege. And that’s what I got from that. I don’t see what’s wrong with that, with all due respect.
And he was very preoccupied with the plumbing, you know? The genitalia, the this and the that. Does it really matter? SNL cast: NBC/Everett Collection.

Because when he came to, as I just told you, I’d been in New York since 1958. I’d written two plays. I taught not only in high school but in prison. I had paid my dues. But behind the scenes at, I was “Lorne Michaels’ n—r.” So when he came, Richard brought his own group [of writers].
