It is so wild to me that someone in the comedy business didn't have weird al in s-tier celebs. When it is considered an honor to have someone "make fun" of you, that's a good guest star!
And he is just awesome all around, always respectful. Long live Weird Al! ๐ค
Lorne is a dick, and Al is too smart for him. Playing by SNL's rules and dealing with their own writers would not end well.
Weird Al is too good for SNL.
Al would probably spend the first year making his guests host the show and interview him, but he is just impossible to get info out of and keeps redirecting the conversation to the hosts "side projects"
He let Elon Musk host once, I don't think is standards are quite as high as you are implying.
Standards can and will be dropped at the first sign of a big enough check made out to Lorne
