Tina Fey Had To Tell Superstar On 'SNL' To Enunciate More During Her First Week
HuffPost
The former "Saturday Night Live" star dished on an awkward moment with a guest host for the 50th anniversary documentary.
Then-newcomer Tina Fey was ordered to have a word with “Saturday Night Live” guest host Sylvester Stallone over his words ― he wasn’t pronouncing them clearly enough.
Fey was reminiscing in Peacock’s recent installment of “SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night,” describing her awkward debut as a writer in 1997.
Stallone had played up verbal mannerisms in the “Rocky” movies and perhaps they were getting in the way of a sketch for the ’97 season premiere.
“I think possibly my first week as a writer, Sylvester Stallone [hosted] and a note came back that was, ‘Tell him he needs to enunciate more. We can’t understand him.’ And then the writer that I was working with, he was more experienced, and he’s like ‘OK, you go do it,’” Fey recalled, per People.
“But it’s a great trial by fire,” she continued. “Mr. Stallone was very nice about it. Clearly not the first time in his life he had received that note.”
