Damon Wayans ‘Purposely’ Got Himself Fired From ‘SNL’ by Going Off Script: ‘I Snapped. I Just Did Not Care’


Damon Wayans revealed how he 'purposely' got himself fired from 'Saturday Night Live' after going off script during a sketch: 'I just did not care.'

Wayans was a cast member for Season 11 of the sketch comedy series, which has been deemed “the weird year,” as it marked Lorne Michaels’ return after a brief hiatus. Wayans explained in the new Peacock docuseries “SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night” that he was not nervous about auditioning for the show, and that he had a handful of characters he had been working on. That’s because, according to “Live From New York” author James Andrew Miller, Wayans “broke the ultimate golden rule, which is: no surprises.”
