Here are 25 moments of Studio 8H cringe.
After I got fired, ItweetedFIRED FROM NEW YORK ITS SATURDAY NIGHT!
and Tim Robinson asked, How long ago did you come up with that?
And I was honest with him and replied, December.
Brooks Wheelan
Colin Farrell told me after a sketch bombed that maybe I should have stayed in the Marines.
On at least one occasion, we danced.
Simon Rich
Accidentally knocking a beer into Lornes lap.
I almost shat myself typing this.
James Anderson
A silent elevator ride with Lorne.
Walter Williams
Being chastised by your boss, by Lorne, is pretty embarrassing.
I walked back in and hes like, Whered you go?!
I was like, …
I went to go do that thing.
You dont leave a meeting!
Jerry Minor
The very first sketch I wrote was some awful thing about a car dealership.
It felt like the world had ended.
And then afterwards I realized: Literally no one even noticed.
Michael Schur
I ate shit almost every table read.
Jon Rudnitsky
I once wrote a piece for Seth for Update, and it was absolutely dying during dress.
I was under the bleachers with Lorne, who watched the whole thing unsmiling and wordlessly.
I think I said No, I got it.
Alex Baze
My most embarrassing moment is also a humblebrag.
I remember doing a full-on (sexual?)
dance with Channing in my office, in front of another writer, and feeling truly embarrassed.
It wasnt myfavoritemoment at the show!
I was convinced Id get fired.
Paul Brittain
In the makeup chair next to Sting, I asked him if he wrote his own songs!
He looked at me weird.
Id never heard of him!
I wasnt embarrassed but I should have been, I guess.
Admittedly, it was probably pretty late in the process.
They just looked at me, said Fuck you, and got off the elevator.
Welcome to the big leagues, baby!
Leo Allen
I got a sketch on that John Malkovich was in.
So John Malkovich looks at me and says, Im so sorry.
I messed up my lines.
Dont sweat it, youll get it on the live show!
Sarah Silverman
I forgot a line that I was staring at on a cue card.
Noel Wells
Passing out for a minute in a dumpster after John Goodman flipped me over his shoulder.
Amy Poehler
I was an extra in a funeral sketch.
I played the corpse lying in a casket.
Alan Zweibel
Doing Jay-Z in front of Jay-Z …
But I think he liked it.
Jay Pharoah
Choking on a prop tater tot as Lindsey Graham on live TV.
I dont know why I ate the prop food.
Youre supposed to sketch-eat.
Kenan Thompson is the funniest sketch-eater of all time.
Watch out for it next time his character is supposed to be eating something.
He saw me in my undies, which was both embarrassing and the greatest moment of my life.
Julia Sweeney
The time I was shooting a rom-com parody with Justin Timberlake where we had to pillow fight.
I came in as a competing scientists robot son and was supposed to be flawless.
I had one line, and there was a typo on the cue card.
My line was, Father, I have just finished converting your car so that it runs on water.
But on the cue cards the word so was to.
It was less than perfect syntax.
Everyone started to break.
After Margot Robbie finished thanking everyone, the first person to walk over to me was Larry David.
I thought he was going in for a hug, but I was clearly off.
