Looks good. It's official. Willem Dafoe is in everything now

Dafoe is playing all of the cast. I hear he kills as Gilda.

He does seem to be getting every role that normally would go to Oldman or Irons.

You know, I'm something a sketch comedian myself

Felt like a vanity piece with slick production for a Lorne biopic. Pass.

In.  Initial reaction to watching that clip was 'What took them so long to do this?'

If they present Chevy as a total douche then it’s accurate.

It’s a shame that one of the funniest guys in my childhood was by all accounts an awful human being to work with.

"Medium talent."

If I remember correctly, the original cast got along pretty well with exception of Chevy. He also doesn’t have any juice to hit back, so there’s your protagonist. 
 

By most accounts, Lorne is kind of an elitist dick, but fair. I don’t think there will be a juicy reveal.

I’m really looking forward to this. Good read on Vanity Fair: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/saturday-night-first-look

The basic premise is this a “live” look-in of the first night the show aired, starting at 10pm, 90 mins before air time. Never knew that Billy Crystal, then a fledgling comic, only found out just before the show that his bit had been cut. Story is he made it home to tell his family not to bother watching as he wouldn’t be on.

Loved it. A+. 100/100
