Tim Meadows was once the longest-serving cast member on Saturday Night Live. These days, he’s subtly stealing scenes as the third lead on the CBS sitcom, DMV. But despite plenty of ups and downs over the course of his nearly 40-year career, Meadows seems to be at peace with his particular level of fame.
Speaking on The Last Laugh podcast, Meadows reveals why he really didn’t want the actual Monica Lewinsky to make a cameo as herself with The Ladies Man Leon Phelps—and what changed his mind.
“We were told during the writers’ meeting that she was available for sketches that week,” Meadows recalls. “I think Lorne told us to write a Ladies Man, and I was against it, to be honest. I didn’t want to do it.”
