Quotes

Saturday Night Live: 40th Anniversary Special

  • Wayne Campbell: Lorne Michaels. What can be said about Lorne Michaels that he himself has not already said, about himself? I mean, the man is a genius, for forty years.
  • Dana Carvey: Minus five.
  • Wayne Campbell: Yup. He would say things like
  • [picking up a glass of white wine]
  • Wayne Campbell: , okay, 'Well, it got a laugh, but did it get the right laugh?'
  • Dana Carvey: [imitating Lorne] 'Um, It becomes that thing of like, well, you're really glad it's Thursday.'
  • Wayne Campbell: Yeah. 'Mick liked it; Paul hated it; Marxie didn't see it. The Stings laughed. What do you think, Loren?'
  • Dana Carvey: 'Well, Lorne, I've got to go with Paul. I thought it was like really, really, really soft.'
  • Wayne Campbell: And... Scene! Yes!
  • Wayne Campbell: [speaking toward off-stage] Lorne, Lorne, we love you!
  • Dana Carvey: Yes. Yes. One day, one day I hope to meet him.
  • Wayne Campbell: [pointing to Garth and nodding] You'd like him. Nice guy.
  • Adam Sandler: Hey, it's us, in stupid wigs.
  • Adam Sandler: If you're in tonight's audience, that means you did it. You're an SNL Great.
  • Adam Sandler: Congratulations. You know, there's been a lot of classic moments here, over the years.
  • Andy Samberg: Yeah. A lot of classic moves. But right now, we're gonna sing a little song about just one.
  • Andy Samberg, Adam Sandler: Uh, listen up!
  • Adam Sandler: It's the night of the show, your sketch is killin'. The audience is having the time of their lives.
  • Andy Samberg: When suddenly it hits you: a fit of the giggles, and you know that you can't hold it inside.
  • Andy Samberg, Adam Sandler: And that's when you break! Let the smile cover your face. That's when you break! The audience is eating it up. That's when you break.
  • Andy Samberg: Sometimes a sketch just ain't workin'
  • Adam Sandler: You're giving it your all, but it isn't enough.
  • Andy Samberg: The jokes are falling flat and your palms are all sweaty.
  • Adam Sandler: But you know a trick they're gonna love.
  • Andy Samberg, Adam Sandler: And that's when you break; that's when you save the day. That's when you break; pretending like it was a mistake. - Bill.
  • Bill Hader: Fuck you, dude.
  • Andy Samberg: Love you, too!
  • Bill Hader: Aww!
  • Andy Samberg, Adam Sandler, Bill Hader: Whatcha gonna do when the sketch ain't working? Whatcha gonna do when you gotta laugh? Whatcha gonna do when you're just too funny? It feels too hard to hold it back.
  • Andy Samberg: LIttle known fact: Lorne loves it when you break.
  • Adam Sandler: Oh, yeah; he goes nuts for it. Lorne is the best. Who's that checking out the scene between commercials? Who's hanging out backstage nursing a glass of white vino? You know, this dude is an American treasure; his legacy will last forever! Lorne!
  • Andy Samberg, Adam Sandler: Now back to the breaks! Here's one of Farrell and Dratch. And here's one of Farley and Spade. And here's one of Fallon and Sanz. And here's another one of Fallon and Sanz. Now moving on to one of Fallon and Sanz. And here's a classic one from Fallon and Sanz.
  • Andy Samberg: But we never broke!
  • Adam Sandler: Uh, actually, that's not true.
  • Andy Samberg: We didn't smile in every sketch.
  • Adam Sandler: Wasn't that kind of our thing?
  • Andy Samberg: We never undermined the piece...
