Ben Stiller Reveals Why He Quit 'Saturday Night Live' After Four Episodes


Ben Stiller was briefly a cast member on 'Saturday Night Live' in 1989, but quit the legendary sketch show after only four episodes

Stiller attracted the attention of SNL producer Lorne Michaels with a UCLA student film that parodied Martin Scorsese ’s hit 1986 movie The Color of Money(starring Tom Cruise and Paul Newman) and was added to the sketch show’s cast midway through its 14th season as a featured player alongside Mike Myers. Stiller has returned to Saturday Night Live throughout his career, twice as a guest host in addition to numerous cameo appearances playing US President Donald Trump ‘s former lawyer Michael Cohen. His costars Robert De Niro, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are all expected to return for the untitled comedy, which is being written by Meet the Parents franchise veteran John Hamburg.
