We’re hosting an all-female lineup on Thursday, March 7th, at Standup NY!
Not that long ago, I rewatched all of the Saturday Night Live episodes hosted by teenagers. It was a good refresher course on how SNL has historically treated young female hosts, from Britney Spears’ breasts that had minds of their own to Lindsay Lohan as Hermione falling out of her Gryffindor uniform to the Olsen twins reminding viewers, “Remember — we’re legal in four weeks!” Every chance it could, early aughts SNL slobbered over Hollywood’s youngest stars. At least the show has moved past its ogling past, I thought. And then Sydney Sweeney came to Studio 8H.
Nick Swardson’s Fans Accuse Him of Being Belligerently Drunk During Disastrous Canceled Stand-Up Set
To our knowledge, no one in Beaver Creek, Colorado tested Nick Swardson’s blood alcohol content after Vilar Performing Arts Center escorted him offstage in the middle of his set. However, I’ve never known any sober stand-up to yell into a microphone mid-86, “What the fuck? Let’s go! Who here knows who Norm Macdonald is?”
Last night, the Reno 911! star and perennial Adam Sandler collaborator attempted to perform a set in the Colorado ski town that slid off trail pretty much immediately. While the exact start of the breakdown is murky, accounts from the night claim that Swardson was ranting incoherently into the microphone for a number of minutes before organizers cut the lights on his set and later asked him to leave the stage. Many fan-recorded videos show an unruly, unbalanced Swardson yelling at the event’s coordinators while the crowd’s confusion and outrage boiled over.
