John Mulaney Targets 'SNL' Celebrity Hosts: 'Only 2 Of Them Have Committed Murder'
HuffPost
Here's who the former "SNL" writer might have been referring to in his bleak dig that made Steve Martin say, "Wow."
John Mulaney brought some macabre reality to the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary special.
The former “SNL” writer joined Steve Martin onstage for the opening monologue Sunday and thanked him for praising the show’s wordsmiths, only to argue that the celebrity hosts are the true “heart and soul” of the show — before letting off a cold-blooded joke.
“You know, as I look around, I see some of the most difficult people I have ever met in my entire life,” Mulaney told the crowd. “Over the course of 50 years, 894 people have hosted ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and it amazes me that only two of them have committed murder.”
Ever the performer, Martin hilariously mouthed a seemingly impressed “wow” at that fact.
While Mulaney moved on without naming the hosts in question, he was likely referring to professional football player O.J. Simpson and actor Robert Blake, both of whom stood trial for allegedly murdering their wives, Nicole Brown Simpson and Bonny Lee Bakley, respectively.
