On My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, John Mulaney recalls an impactful rehab call with Lorne Michaels

The entertainment industry is full of troubled characters and addictive personalities, and Saturday Night Live is no exception. More than one talented star from the long-running sketch show has experienced tragedy, and it’s clear that SNL godfather Lorne Michaels has taken even more care with the younger generation to prevent history from repeating itself.

“ in the call we’re talking, and he goes, ‘I knew John Belushi for seven years. I’ve been talking about him for 48 years,’” Mulaney recalled. “He goes, ‘That’s the shrapnel that happens when someone goes down like that.’ And he goes, ‘You know, John didn’t want to die. He didn’t plan to. Just because it’s a story, just because it’s set in stone like history, people don’t want to die from this.
