Never heard of this guy. It’s been ages since I watched SNL. The show started when I was in college.

There lies the problem: aiding & abetting sleazy behavior.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I have literally never heard of this guy.

I watched SNL regularly in the 1970s, when the first cast was still there (Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, et al.) The second cast was sometimes funny (Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Martin Short), but it started going straight downhill from there. I stopped watching SNL entirely by the mid 1980s.

Had he just did some coke with her,and nothing else,he probably would’ve got in any trouble.

Jimmy implicated

20 years later. $7.5 million for my silence, please. Then a civil lawsuit. Nobody can prove or disprove if the claimed sexual assault ever happened at this point. But in a civil lawsuit there’s a lower burden of proof to plunder the target. Proving that he did certain other things that were not criminal but do make him look bad is all that’s necessary. I don’t care if the guy sounds easy to dislike, this stuff isn’t right.

I wonder why she doesn’t sue her parents for letting her run around unsupervised with an adult male actor beginning at age 15.

I stopped watching SNL in 1990 when all the original cast left.

“digitally penetrated her genitals”

Huh?

In this context, "digitally" means "using fingers". The word digital comes from the word "digit", which has always meant fingers and toes - the things the human race first used to count.

SNL....Sleazy Nihilistic Liberals

[Disambiguator]

The “Celebrity Jeopardy” spoofs are funny. Apparently Norm MacDonald wrote those and played Burt Reynolds.

Gave her the ol’ uncle joe

[ronniesgal]

it does take 2, but i bet she had alot of beer before hand He’s ghastly.

[ronniesgal]

Shoshanna Lonstein’s parents come to mind.

[Mr.Unique]

...finger banged...

Merv swung the other way. Ask Deney Terrio when he refused his advances.

[BillyBoy]

i remember when the Harvey Weinstein allegations first came out, I was one of “those” people who confused him with Harvey Fierstein. I was like “I thought this dude was a flaming homo? He must be overcompensating”

[Clemenza]

Merv was a well known “man’s man.”

[dfwgator]

I believe Merv was one of President Reagan’s honorary pallbearers.

If they can, they'll settle, but apparently Sanz blew (or rather smoked) all the money he ever made from SNL.

Remember Lorne's "it's a New York thing" remark about Harvey Weinstein?

On August 12, 2021 a lawsuit was filed in New York against Horatio Sanz, SNL Studios, NBC Universal, and 20 other fictitious persons- people involved but not yet identified. The allegations in the suit strike at the heart of NBC and implicates executives and SNL cast members in sexual abuse.
