Lorne Michaels: Fatigue is your friend. Through exhaustion and through people just being so depleted, the stuff around the nerve endings gets worn away and other things begin to emerge and you take way bigger risks. Whether its through impatience or the inability to, you know, just defend your game, things that you would normally not write or normally not say get written down or spoken. Its coming from the unconscious. Its not so much thought through as instinctive. It’s the closest they are to their core sensibility, to who they really are, at least in comedy.
