Bryan Cranston reveals his disgusting 'SNL' sketch idea as host that was 'immediately shut down'

Bryan Cranston told David Spade and Dana Carvey that when he hosted the show back in 2010, this particular pitch was 'immediately shut down.'

While SNL maintains a robust writing staff, the official policy is to allow, even encourage, the guest stars to pitch ideas for their appearances. Heaven only knows where Cranston came up with such a repulsive idea, but it is possible he was inspired in some way by the legendary character Mr. Creosote from the 1983 film Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. One could argue that this sketch is a pointed commentary about class inequality, or you could also say it was Python's attempt to make everyone in the audience as sick to their stomach as possible.
