Lorne
I’ll admit, it was interesting to see parts of SNL from behind the camera, but I feel like Lorne is someone who cannot be established in a documentary sense

Lorne
As an SNL fan, this is catnip for me 😅
Things I learned about Lorne from this doc:
- He loves popcorn.
- He has dogs and goats.
- He appreciates his routine, that starts after noon (honestly, that's my dream).
- He throws ice when his frustrated... And I think that's pretty much it 😆😬 this man is rather private. Love to see that not even people that has worked with him FOR YEARS still don't know things about him 😅😅😅
Also, one of the best bits was the Manson Story 😂😂😂 and the Conan section about Lorne's house in Maine 😂😂😂😂
