Anecdotes About SNL and Song Pitching

Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, friends of former SNL writer Sudi Green, shared a clever tactic used to shut down persistent strangers pitching sketch ideas:

“Even if we did take your idea, it would be a huge legal problem because the waiter could sue us later.”

This line usually ends the conversation quickly.

Lawrence also admitted that when she met musician Mark Ronson, she impulsively pitched him a song about a street sweeper and even began singing it, recalling:

“I don’t know what I was expecting, but he was just like, ‘Nice to meet you.’”

Hosting SNL and Self-Critique

Bowen Yang praised Lawrence's hosting of SNL back in 2013, but she was very self-critical:

“No, I wasn’t [great],” Lawrence said.

She described the episode as not good, though she did not take blame for its quality.
