SNL's youngest-ever cast member Anthony Michael Hall remembers 'pressure to be funny' during show's 'weird year'

'Saturday Night Live' alum Anthony Michael Hall, the youngest-ever cast member, recalls the 'pressure to be funny' on the legendary sketch show's so-called 'weird year.'

He was cast on the Lorne Michaels-created sketch comedy show in its 11th season, just as Michaels was returning to it after having spent five years away. The National Lampoon's Vacation star, who left the show at end of the season, said he has "such respect for all the people that come through that system, all the men and women." It was like an out-of-body experience," Hall said of being on the show in the fourth part of the Peacock docuseries SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night.
