David Schwimmer reveals the SNL hosting mistake he made that left him ‘traumatized’ ‘The entire writer’s room looked at me as if I had just slept with their mom...’ Schwimmer said.
“Friends, at that time, was shooting on Tuesday nights and we were shooting until sometimes 1 in the morning, and so I had to fly from LA to New York on Wednesday to get [to SNL],” he told the talk show host.
“It wasn’t until years later that I was talking to someone else who had hosted the show and they said, ‘No no you’re supposed to show up on a Monday,’” he said.
On Monday (January 13), the actor appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he discussed the SNL episode he hosted 30 years ago.
A few years later, Schwimmer discovered that the hosts of SNL were supposed to arrive for rehearsals on Monday and not on Thursday as he did.
