Jonathan Majors is my guess, mostly bc I don’t remember any of his sketches and instead his episode was all about Taylor Swift since she was the musical guest and Red TV had just come out.

also every cast has this but I think Bowen is the first one to like out and out play coy about who it was lol. Pete Davidson cracked a lot of jokes about how shit Trump was as a host. Bill Hader like fucking hated Bieber, the original cast had Milton Berle, I think the 90s cast had Steven Seagal, Tina Fey hated Paris Hilton and I think Maya and Fred and Seth confirmed that Paris never asked anyone any like personal questions or made conversation with them lol.

Lol Tina would hate Paris Hilton.

[bttrsondaughter]

her story basically is that Paris would not stop asking the writers to write sketches where she made fun of all the girls she hated, like she suggested a sketch where they made fun of Jessica Simpson for “being fat” which. I mean it is Tina’s wheelhouse to be obnoxiously evil to famous women she hates, but I’m sure she didn’t like seeing her attitude reflected back to her through Paris Hilton

Irony is her name!

I mean tina isn't on record saying the n word and the f slur.... but also tina expanded on that saying they also had a running bet on if Paris would ask ANYBODY literally anything about them b/c she was so self-absorbed and i forget the anecdote but I think she finally ended up asking Maya something about herself. Tina has definitely gotten away with a lot but paris is an asshole worthy of criticism full stop

[bttrsondaughter]

yeah, I fully agree on hating Paris Hilton lol, her rebrand and people loving it has me confused and just confirms to me that everyone doing that is just too young to have REALLY known what she was like in the aughts.

Seth Meyers took credit for the bet in an interview on his show with Fred and Maya, and no one ever won bc the question she asked about Maya was asked to someone else and not Maya lol

[belle_chouette]

lmao that criticism of Paris reminds me of my former boss being upset about me never asking her how her weekend was

[vivilicious]

Lol same here. I thought it was so odd… why would they care if I was interested in their weekend?

[caramelaffair]

I remember the cast and even Lorne himself saying Steven Seagal was the biggest asshole they ever had. I think at one point also he kept making a big stink about how the jokes weren't really funny and how he wanted to write sketches that he himself thought were funny but were actually very violent, especially towards women. So...yeah.
