WhileSaturday Night Liveenjoys its reputation for turn away to pull punches on - air , who knew that the show ’s allegiance to objectiveness extend to their staff bios?I’m a vast fan of the show , but was stun by the brutally honest ( and harsh ) way they ’ve written about the former cast members onSNL ’s site . Here are just a few of the chestnuts that are currently published online .
From Chevy Chase ’s bio
I really ca n’t order whether that last bank line is supposed to scan sardonically . In any lawsuit , this is n’t the only paragraph like this . More zingers from the prescribed cast bio Thomas Nelson Page after the jump .
CHRIS ROCK : " … An attempt at a movie calling surveil his going from SNL , but it fail to catch on . "
COLIN QUINN : " … Quinn remained with the cast for a total of five season before leaving to start his own poorly - plump sketch show … "
DANA CARVEY : " … His career sputtered after leaving SNL … "
EDDIE MURPHY : " … After leaving SNL , Murphy ’s flick calling sailplane to fantastic tiptop , but he fell into something of a slump … "
NORM MACDONALD : " … After three years , Macdonald was famously let go from the show , but fences seem to have been doctor - he soon appeared as a invitee boniface . An scratchy movie career followed … "
ROB SCHNEIDER:“After a few false start and a failed sitcom , thing deform around when brother Adam Sandler began cast him in his motion picture … though these films were mostly disregard by the critic … "
AL FRANKEN : " … Franken remained with the show until 1980 when he forget to try his luck in Hollywood , though there were other understanding in play for his departure . In a sketch called " " A Limo for the Lamo , " Franken made a figure of disparage remark about NBC chairwoman Fred Silverman , "
It ’s also kind of funny to see the same sassy " joke " repeated in the entree ( The office on Martin Short record " Ed Grimley , anyone ? " , while the post on Cheri Oteri cleverly study , " Arianna the cheerleader , anyone ? " ) . And also who get a pass . Jimmy Fallon get more kudos than I would have expected for his vivacious post - SNL life history . David Spade is credited with a " reasonably successful motion picture career " , while Nora Dunn is lauded as someone who has a " steady " life history and whose " plate is full for years to come . " In any example , there ’s plenty more to be analyzed here atNBC .
