As “Saturday Night Live” gears up for its 50th anniversary special, several alumni shared wild tales about their time on the iconic sketch comedy show, including comedian Laraine Newman, 72, who revealed she got on one EGOT winner’s bad side.

When “SNL” first started, Newman said she “had no idea” it was going to be a hit and described the show as “just the redheaded stepchild of NBC.” She also said when she visited the show years later for the 40th anniversary, she was amazed at how much the costume department had grown since the early days.
