Bob Odenkirk sagt, dass es für junge Schriftsteller auf ‚SNL‘ sehr einfach ist, ihre Ideen von hochrangigen Mitarbeitern „abgeschossen“ zu lassen: „Es war gut zu lernen, was nicht zu tun ist“

>“Everything that I learned at ‘SNL’ that I never got to use when I wrote on ‘SNL,’ I used to make ‘Mr. Show,’” Odenkirk recalled. “At ‘SNL’ it was very easy, especially for young writers, to get their ideas shot down very quickly by older writers.”

>Odenkirk added that once he went to work on “Mr. Show,” he and Cross made sure to give all their staffers a fair shot to share their ideas.

>“When I went to ‘Mr. Show’ and I was in charge over there with David Cross, I sort of made it a rule that you don’t shoot anything down,” Odenkirk said. “You have to talk about everything. You have to fully understand the writer’s idea before you let it go. So it was a good thing to learn what not to do from ‘Saturday Night Live.’”
