“I never broke character on SNL. I knew how much time the writers put into those scripts. You don’t want to be the one who throws it off,” the former “Weekend Update” anchor and 1986-1995 SNL cast member, tweeted (https://x.com/kevin_nealon/status/2036459173081210979?s=20) this morning. “Lorne doesn’t like when the cast breaks. Even if the audience laughs, it doesn’t work for the sketch. If I could get through the Chippendales sketch, I could get through anything.” While Nealon didn’t specifically reference a particular sketch or cast members, his tweet comes weeks after the Ryan Gosling-Ashley Padilla “Passing Notes” sketch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yE5u0f3msE) that was designed to make its cast members break.
