Coming from SCTV, Short soon realized Saturday Night Live wasn’t the right fit for him. Being “funny on demand” felt like added pressure during that era of the show. It didn’t help to have a not-so-welcoming environment.

Joining Saturday Night Live is supposed a comedian’s dream. Nevertheless, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows at Studio 8H.

The star of Mork & Mindy was almost cast in Three Amigos.
