‘Saturday Night’ Star Lamorne Morris Wants to Host ‘SNL’ With Original Cast Member Garrett Morris: ‘I Got the Emmy. I’m Playing an Icon. Why Not?’

'Saturday Night' star Lamorne Morris and 'SNL' legend Garrett Morris discuss their cinematic bond.

Lamorne explains that Reitman had told the “Saturday Night” actors not to worry about doing an impression, but to “embody what they may have been feeling” on that high-pressure evening. Lamorne Morris poses with his trophy for outstanding supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for “Fargo” at the Emmy Awards on Sept. 15. With that kind of timing, it’s no surprise that Lamorne slipped effortlessly into Garrett’s persona for “Saturday Night,” even pulling off a riff on the comedian’s classic, controversial “Death Row Follies” singing-prisoners sketch.
