Live from snlyou.jt.org its Saturday Night You! Chapter 3

Getting Sh&* Together.

It had been an unusually rough time for the folks working at Saturday Night You. It had dealt with adult film star idiots, an exec producers near fatal car crash, and the almost cancellation of a show before it went on air. But on the air it did go and it caused something of a stir in the non porno internet. Folks were beginning to take notice that their was a new comedy team in town and its name was Saturday Night You

Patrick Lonergan

After the first show I just breathed a huge sigh of relief. We had done it. The problem though was that we had another show due the next week. Their was a heavy amount of partying amongst the writers that got a little bit out of hand. We had to drive Tony Dumont and Jordan Davidson to the hospital during the after party. Luckily they turned out to be okay, apparently Jordan was only sniffing pixie sticks and we forgot that Tony Dumont was really that retarded most of the time. Despite that though we just got back on to the horse for the next week.

Jordan Davidson

I dont know what Patrick was talking about but I was doing cocaine, I had been saving the stuff for like a freaking month since I am not F***ing Scarface, I was still living with my parents at the time. The original SNL crew did cocaine all the time when they were on and look at the work that they did. Hell if Tony Dumont can be raised by wolves in the forest then I can do a little cocaine after the show, I appreciated Patrick's concern but afterwards I had to go into rehab. Do you know how depressing rehab is, their aint a laugh to be found.

Jessica Whitt

I tell you Jordan never shut up about the damn rehab program. Every time I started to think up a good sketch he would start telling me about the next step he had to take in order to clean himself up. It was really depressing. I guess you could say we really werent a team dynamic at the time. I may have been a kleptomaniac when I was on the show but I didnt go around yacking it to everyone all the time. Although that may help answer the question about why the Julia Stiles show is so damn short. I had problems but I kept them nice and bottled up.

Patrick Lonergan

The drug problems were bad thats for sure, but nothing was worse than when we got the Cease & Desist letter from NBC legal after the Sean Hayes show. Apparently the execs up in their golden lofts couldnt handle the fact that their was another comedy sketch group in town. They were suing for about a million bucks hoping to scare me into shuting my operation down. I wrote back to them saying "From the Saturday Night Two Executive Producer Reply "Nuts!"" Nobody was taking my show away at this point. So I hired the best legal attorney their was, in my price range.

Lionel Hutz

Yes I represented Patrick Lonergan, I had known him from a few months back when I followed his ambulance to the hospital after he got hit by a car. I told him we could save the show but only if he performed certain favors for the judge. He said that was sexual harrasment, I told him "Okay I'll take your word for it." I had to take the case Pro- Sonny Bono, you know a lot of people dont say that right they always just say Pro-Bono, idiots. It was a rough case but I had worse, I was the plaintiff at the Kobe Trial.

J.P. Ragan

We had so much legal and drug crap going on the first month or two it was almost impossible to find the writers who would make Saturday Night You an institution. I think one of our first big hits was Mario Lanza. I remember him coming into the writers room once and he did this whole sketch about how baby seals deserved what was coming to them. The sketch got on later in the year with chickens instead but it was very rebellious even for the internet, his sketches werent always hilarious but when they were you could bust a gut. The only problem that we were having was that we had no organized way of doing the show. Also that damn Saturday Night Two title was still bugging people like nuts, it was overall pretty rough but if you dug around you could find some diamonds.

Benjamin G. Barry

I was on the show for the full first season and I only remember one of my sketches getting through dress. It was just hell for me, I couldnt possibly go back after that first season, I figured I would get a whole bunch of help but your on your own at SNY. I finally gave it up at the end of the season and realized that I wrote on the show just to cover up my flaming homosexuality. My mom and dad kicked me out of the house two days later.

Patrick Lonergan

The only thing that kept me going until the season finale was the fact that we had Christopher Walken hosting the finale and you cant walk out on Walken. While it wasnt our all time best show it was definitely not our worse and it help solidified our existence. After ten shows we were still on the air and for the moment that was good enough for me. SNL's first season was a phenomenon, ours was a hold on for dear life year and we did, we did.

The folks at Saturday Night You had made it through their first season despite their many internal problems. Despite this success though their were still many problems to be ironed out. Keeping writers on staff was becoming very hectic and the busy schedule for Patrick Lonergan was taxing to say the least. Patrick knew that he needed to get some help running the show and fix up the leaks in the proverbial roof.

Next time on Saturday Night You- Find out about the daring addition of the mock summer hosts as well as the short lived reign of constantly pooped on SNL producer Jean Doumanian. Also hear about the torid hot naked affairs that took place backstage, with extremely steamy details.

All this and more next time on Live from snlyou.jt.org its Saturday Night You!
