Jesse Eisenberg Has ‘Bad Memories’ of Hosting ‘SNL’ Because ‘I Assumed I Could Write All the Sketches’: ‘Unbelievably Offensive of Me’


Jesse Eisenberg has "bad memories" of hosting "SNL" because he thought he could write all of his sketches.

Jesse Eisenberg said during an interview on “Today with Jenna & Friends” (via People) that he only has “bad memories” of hosting “Saturday Night Live” in January 2011. The Oscar nominee made the grave mistake of thinking being “ SNL ” host meant he’d be pitching and writing all of the sketches for his episode. Eisenberg is currently an Oscar-nominated writer thanks to his directorial effort “A Real Pain,” which earned him a best original screenplay nomination.
