Former 'Saturday Night Live' stars David Spade and Dan Aykroyd expressed surprise at Lorne Michaels' current, approachable attitude towards the show's cast, contrasting it with their experiences during their tenures.

'I think Lorne at one point was hanging out with and kind of chuckling about it like, 'I think Bowen sees me as a mountain to climb, and I don't want him to think that anymore...' That kind of gave me the encouragement to go up to him and be like, 'oh, we can relate to each other on a human-to-human level,' which I never thought would happen with him
