- Quotes
Wayne Campbell: Lorne Michaels. What can be said about Lorne Michaels that he himself has not already said, about himself? I mean, the man is a genius, for forty years.
Dana Carvey: Minus five.
Wayne Campbell: Yup. He would say things like
[picking up a glass of white wine]
Wayne Campbell: , okay, 'Well, it got a laugh, but did it get the right laugh?'
Dana Carvey: [imitating Lorne] 'Um, It becomes that thing of like, well, you're really glad it's Thursday.'
Wayne Campbell: Yeah. 'Mick liked it; Paul hated it; Marxie didn't see it. The Stings laughed. What do you think, Loren?'
Dana Carvey: 'Well, Lorne, I've got to go with Paul. I thought it was like really, really, really soft.'
Wayne Campbell: And... Scene! Yes!
Wayne Campbell: [speaking toward off-stage] Lorne, Lorne, we love you!
Dana Carvey: Yes. Yes. One day, one day I hope to meet him.

I laughed a lot, especially at the opening skit with Celebrity Jeopardy and at the very end with Wayne's World.
Dennis Miller and Victoria Jackson weren't present at the reunion and it is perhaps because of their radical political engagement in the far right. I believe that Lorne Michaels and the majority of the former and present cast members wouldn't appreciate working with individuals with bigoted views. So it is understandable.
However, I don't understand why former cast member Nasim Pedrad was not included? she was a talented and memorable comedian.
And that is exactly why I give it 5 stars out of 10.
