During a podcast appearance last week, longtime "SNL" cast member Rob Schneider took aim at his former show. He specifically cited Kate McKinnon’s post-2016 election cold opening where she played “Hallelujah” dressed as Hillary Clinton as being the moment he realized it was ‘over.’ In the days since, other former cast members and contributors have been asked about his thoughts, and the latest to publicly chime in is original writer, former Senator and comedy legend Al Franken.

Appearing on CNN, the ex-Not Ready For Primetime Player said he’s been hearing the same refrain for almost fifty years now. He called Schneider’s remarks “silly” and told an anecdote about how long this exact accusation has been flying around.
