From creating billieeilish's technically challenging musical number to the time Adam Sandler and Mikey Day reported from a fictitious war zone via Snapchat, late-night veteran Don Roy King recalls memorable SNL moments
Following a successful career at local news stations, directing talk shows and morning programs "where the real intention is to tell people that the world didn't blow up overnight" — to use his words — Pittsburg native Don Roy King joined the creative team at, it was a risk. "I thought, 'do I really want to take a chance late in my life, a chance on failure?' But then I thought, 'if I don't, there will be some regret.
But the sketches that are the most meaningful to King are the ones that "didn't get any laughs at all," like when Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton sang "Hallellujah" during the week that Leonard Cohen died. "It felt so moving that that's how we opened this comedy show," says the director, going on to mention sketches that were performed in the wake of tragedies such as mass shootings.
Singer Billie Eilish in the premiere show wanted to create the Fred Astaire walking on the walls, dancing on the ceiling effect in one of her numbers. This was actually really complicated, certainly to do live, but we managed to pull it off and I was proud of that.
