The idea for SNL's infamous "WORD ASSOCATION" sketch featuring Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor began with Pryor's personal comedy writer Paul Mooney and Mooney's dislike of Lorne Michaels. Pryor, who was set to host, demanded they hire Mooney to help write to Pryor's voice but Lorne was skeptical so he personally interviewed Mooney to see if he should hire him for the episode, which Mooney felt was more an embarrassing examination based on his race than talent. Mooney said, "After all the bullshit I've been put through to get here, the fucking cross-examination Lorne subjects me to, I decide to do a job interview of my own."
The sketch was ranked in Rolling Stone magazine as #10 for their 50 Best SNL Sketches of All-Time list.

Jimmy Failla: "To protest Donald Trump tonight, a lot of the liberal correspondents are wearing pins on their outfits. A lot of pins up and down the lapels. They look like waitresses at TGI Fridays. I just ordered a plate of potato skins off Margaret Brennan."

@LasVegasLocally So some people want the $5 tables and the old cheap Vegas.
And you expect hospitality workers to be paid a living wage?
Guess where the cheap tables are at? Usually at a break-in casino.
And there’s a reason for that.
@RoscoSwole@VitalVegas I believe it. I’m sure there was still $18 6&8’s still on the table. Longest rolls usually have people still worried about field bets and hard ways.
