Laraine Newman reflects on the truth behind Saturday Night Live's early days as show marks 49th anniversary

Laraine Newman, a founding member of "Saturday Night Live," reflects on the show's early days as it marks its 49th anniversary. She notes that many portrayals in the recent film about the show are fictionalized, including key events and character decisions. Newman clarifies that the film inaccurately depicts the show's sketch preparation and the dynamics between cast members. She emphasizes that decisions, like Billy Crystal's absence, were personal rather than show-related. Now a voiceover artist, Newman shares her excitement for upcoming performances and her ongoing connections with former cast members. She expresses regret over a recent tweet that embarrassed her daughter, Hannah Einbinder.
