Most drugged-out SNL performances of all time

Louise Lasser.

Well. . . John Belushi in just about everything!

You're on crack for starting this thread. I pay $1.99 for this?

The Pogues when Shane MacGowan had a drink in his hand and was falling over.

Martin Lawrence

Charles Rocket maybe?

R1 / R6 When did these episodes air?

The first two years seemed to revel in drug abuse. The only two originals who appeared sober were Ackroyd and Curtin.

Lana del Ray

Louise Lasser says she wasn't on drugs.

AHEM!

Garrett Morris was always high in the first few years of SNL, even more than Laraine Newman or Chevy Chase, or even John Belushi.

Yeah. He discovered freebasing and locked himself in an abandoned office a few floors away from the rest of the cast

Here’s a quote from Live from New York about Louise Lasser’s appearance. It’s from Neil Levy, a talent coordinator on the show at the time:

“I remember Louise Lasser on her hands and knees crawling into my office looking for pot. Why she was on her hands and knees, I don’t know. And then the day of the show, she decided she wasn’t going to do the show unless a certain sketch was cut. And we were all preparing to do the show without her. In fact I remember Aykroyd getting excited about it: “We can do it, Lorne. We can get out there and we’ll improv it. We’ll do a helluva show.” And they were ready. And Lorne told her agent that he would make sure everyone knew if she walked out.”

"And I said, Lorne, when you've been married to Woody Allen you can cast the first stone."

Jane was sober. Gilda might have smoked pot here and there but her main problem was bulemia. Bill Murray was a boozer not a drugger.

Marianne Faithfull took a cocaine ripoff prior to her vocal performance, slipped to her by a nefarious backup singer, and her voice completely froze during her performance. She squeaked her way through it.

Elon musk

I feel like Curtin might have said in recent years that she might have smoked weed on occasion, but I could be wrong. She definitely was a chain smoker, though, as attested by a friend who waited on her at a store back in the '90s.

R1 It seems to me the exact opposite re Louise Lasser. She was probably off her meds.

Tina Fey, snorting Doritos dust off Amy Poehlers vag and filming Mom Jeans

r22, wow - just...wow.

r22 meh, you tried

R17 I remember Gilda's weight loss seemed to be sudden.

Not drugs but Fallon was almost always drunk.

Candy Slice.

Trump.

Ricki Lee Jones

Betty White.

I don’t know why but my dad and watched Mary Hartman Mary Hartman every time. Of course in those days we only had 3-4 channels.
