The crew would be pretty dog-tired by the time the show went off the air. We would get there about in the morning on Saturday and leave around the next morning. Meanwhile, the far less well paid crew had to stand and buy our own drinks. During my last show working at SNL, in , I would never have guessed it would last another 15 years. I do remember that I somehow smuggled in my roommates Peter and Ted into the studio. Afterwards I recall Tina Fey said something nice to me, and Kid Rock and Gina Gershon were running around our offices for some reason after the show, and I remember drinking a lot they paid for booze for all of us for once.
