Mike Myers says he would ‘go into a depression’ over cut ‘SNL’ sketches

It turns out that rejection is difficult, even for a pro like Mike Myers.

The actor and actor revealed that he “went in a depression” whenever his sketches would be cut Saturday Night Live.

“The dressed rehearsals are growing and I become nervous,” he said in a new interview with Variety About recent 50th anniversary specials for the longtime show. “So if the sketch enters, I say to myself:” Okay! “I am much more excited than I have entered, that I will be in the show this week.

MYERS was a member of the distribution of the Sketch NBC series from 1989 to 1995 and appeared sporadically via CAMES or as a host in the years that followed. One day, he had a revelation on the Cup sketches which changed his state of mind, which came thanks to the legend of the Comedy Conan O’Brien, who was a writer of the series from 1988 to 1991.

“Then a week, Conan [O’Brien] had worked with a very, very hard host who had put him to the test, “recalls Myers.” Conan was just a mess and saw that a sketch was cut and he said: “Perfect. Everything is going to plan perfectly. It laughed a lot, and I said to myself: “Can you be so?” Don’t you need to be depressed? He taught me to say: “Okay. This is not the end of the world. ‘”

The interview with MYERS included a scholarship holder Snl Faced Colin Jost, Marcello Hernández and Sarah Sherman, who sympathized with the fate of Myers. In Hernández, Sherman said: “You saw me having a fusion F — ING!”

Hernández compared the experience to athletics: “There is something sport on this subject. I smile and salute, but I appreciate it when people are upset. You are competitive and you get angry.”

But, the experience of having a sketch is chopped in the general rehearsal is nothing compared to the table of the table in the table for the episode, according to the group, which said at the point of sale that fighting for their sketch is not even worth it at this stage.

“I saw people try it,” said Myers. “This is where I’m going to be invisible. Too much tension! The captain talked about it, moves on.”

THE Austin Powers Star said he had a different feeling about it, however.

“When I was younger as a writer,” said Myers, “if [SNL creator] Lorne Michaels asked, “Do you think you can operate this?” I would say: “Yes, I think I can.” While now I think I would be more likely to say: “If you’re not sure, don’t do it!” “”

The 50th season of Snl ended on May 17 and inspired a number of specials and documents featuring Snl Cast and legends like Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Martin Short, David Spade, Molly Shannon and more.
