William Clotworthy, a former NBC standards and practices executive who served as the on-set censor for “Saturday Night Live” between 1979 and 1991, has died at the age of 95.
According to an obituary which ran in the New York Times on Monday, Clotworthy died peacefully in Hospice in Salt Lake City, Utah on Thursday.
After getting his start as an NBC page in the 1940s, Clotworthy went on to a career in advertising at the firm BBDO. He later moved back to NBC, joining the standards and practices department in the 1970s. He went on to work on set at “Saturday Night Live,” where he earned the nickname “Doctor No.”
