Smigel: When the standards people freaked, Lorne fought them. Standards pushed back hard. They even got someone at NBC human resources to condemn it. … Lorne said, I have a plan. Obama was doing a cameo in the cold open. Lorne told me he would show my sketch to Obama. If Obama thinks it’s OK, they won’t be able to argue it. I thought it was a brilliant idea, except why would Obama ever give this thing his blessing? What if word got out? Hey, everybody, that guy over there said it was cool. The one running for president of the country. But I loved Lorne for caring this much and being willing to go that far to get this thing on TV. Michaels: Obama said, It’s funny, but no, I don’t think so. #quotes blog.longreads/2014/08/20/racial-profiling-snl-skit/
