the montage played. George Clooney was the host of my first show. I was in the opening monologue, playing the part of his assistant, and I remember thinking, Oh my God, this is so cool. Saturday Night Live has an amazing band, and I don’t have to pay for it myself with my waitressing money. I had Gilda Radner’s old dressing room. Lorne sent me flowers and a note that said, “Welcome to Saturday Night Live. I’m really glad you’re here.” It made my head explode.
