Taran Killam praises 'very important relationship' with costar Amanda Bynes after The Amanda Show launched his career

'Saturday Night Live' alum Taran Killam credits 'very important relationship' with Amanda Bynes for launching his career on 'The Amanda Show' and 'Big Fat Liar.'

The actor appeared on a recent episode of David Spade and Dana Carvey's Fly on the Wall podcast, where he cited his work with Bynes on Nickelodeon as a launching pad for his on-screen future. "I think she's one of those people everyone pulls for, like Britney [Spears]," Spade observed, referencing Bynes' more recent obstacles, including struggling with substance abuse and a conservatorship that began in 2013 and was terminated in 2022. Though she starred in several successful films in the early aughts, like She's the Man and Hairspray, Bynes hasn't appeared in a major Hollywood production since 2010's Easy A.
