Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Taran Killam did not mince words when speaking about that ill-fated 2015 episode hosted by Donald Trump.
Speaking on Matt Gourley’s “I Was There Too” podcast, Killam said that “SNL” boss Lorne Michaels told the cast to go easy on Trump in the early days of the presidential campaign in 2015, in an effort to woo Trump to host. Trump eventually hosted the Nov. 7, 2015 episode.
“Lorne was being so specific about what we could and couldn’t say about him, and he was dictating a lot of the settings,” Killam said on the podcast.
