Saturday Night Live’s aboriginal ’90s formed produced plentifulness of stars: Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, David Spade, Norm Macdonald, Julia Sweeney, Tim Meadows, Sarah Silverman, you cognize the names. But it was besides an epoch dogged by disapproval and haunted by those pesky “Saturday Night Dead” accusations. But it’s 1 happening for the media to consciousness that way, and rather different for the hatred to travel from an SNL legend.

According to 1 of the era’s stars, Rob Schneider, that’s precisely what happened to him and his friends. During an quality connected SiriusXM’s Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show—of precocious the spot to spell for controversial comics to name-drop—Bill Murray tin beryllium hard connected set. (Who knew.) “He’s gonna alteration things. And you’re gonna get—and it’s gonna beryllium great, but you don’t cognize who you’re gonna get, the bully Bill Murray, oregon you’re gonna get the pugnacious Bill Murray,” Schneider claims. “He’s ace bully to fans, helium wasn’t precise bully to us. He hated america connected Saturday Night Live erstwhile helium hosted. Absolutely hated us. I mean, seething.”

“You know, present that I’m older–’cause, you know, helium hated Chris Farley with a passion. Like helium was conscionable seething looking astatine him,” Schneider recalls. “I don’t cognize exactly, but I wanna judge that it’s due to the fact that that Chris thought it was chill to be… [John] Belushi—his person who helium saw die. That helium thought it was chill to beryllium that retired of control. That’s my interpretation, but I don’t truly know. I don’t judge it, I lone judge it 50%. He conscionable hated, like, each of us, beauteous much. …The slightest of the hatred was to me. I took large pleasance successful that helium hated maine less, due to the fact that he’s my hero.”

He remembers that Murray beheld Farley with “naked rage,” and that the Caddyshack histrion was “nice to each communal person” but little truthful to chap comedians. Schneider acknowledges that definite drama legends tin simply beryllium personally antithetic than they contiguous professionally: “Steve Martin’s ne'er silly, and I wanted him to be. But like, onstage… helium conscionable turns it on, and I was like, ‘I didn’t cognize you could bash that.’”

Returning to Murray, Schneider notes that helium “hated Sandler, truly hated Sandler too.” Guessing why, helium vaguely supposes, “He conscionable wasn’t into that groove of it, you know? And Sandler was conscionable committed to it, you know? And conscionable like… arsenic soon arsenic helium would get on, you could spot the assemblage conscionable ate him up, you know? Which besides truly irritated Al Franken,” helium adds, not to fto an accidental to notation the SNL aged defender pass. Did anybody similar these guys?
