Former Saturday Night Live cast member Horatio Sanz — who is eight years sober! — was on Kevin Pollak’s podcast (guest hosted by Pollak’s podcast partner, Freaks and Geeks‘ Samm Levine). In addition to talking about his role on Step Brothers, and his time at SNL, Sanz also told the perfect Tracy Morgan story.
Some of you may be familiar with the fact that SNL often has an after-after party following their live episodes, a party to go to after the regular after-party has wound down. It’s a relatively recent tradition, one that was started by Sanz when he was a cast member. He was also in charge of organizing these after parties. However, Morgan frequently asked if he could throw the after-party, and after Sanz could no longer put him off any longer, he finally relented and let him.
This is how that party went:
“He rented a floor at this building right across from ground zero. I mean, we couldn’t look directly into the footprint of the former World Trade Center, but we were about a block away from the late Twin Towers.
The party was fine, but he had these bars set up and he literally hired prostitutes. I’ve never hired prostitutes before because it was never my intention to get us f*cked after a long show.
So he brought in some prostitutes and I just remember, you know, of course, I stayed. I think I was the last one to leave. I just remember that decent people — like Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer — would just come into the bar and do a complete 360. Like, ‘yep! OK! Good enough!’
And then, you know, [later], the guy who tunes guitars would say, ‘Yeah! I gotta blow job at that party!'”
Here’s an animated recreation of Will Ferrell’s reaction to the party.
