Honestly, Interviewing With SNL’s Lorne Michaels Sounds Like a Surprisingly Chill Experience

For fashion, there’s Anna Wintour. For technology, there’s Jeff Bezos, we guess? And for comedy, there’s a Canadian man named Lorne Michaels, the gatekeeper of all things Saturday Night Live. Scoring an interview with Michaels is undoubtedly one of the biggest goals a budding comedian can attain — minus, you know, actually landing a job on the show — and Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost was nice enough to relay what his experience was like.
