I’m reading Live From New York and I came to this said by Bernie Brillstein.

[Michael] O’Donoghue had the best line about the Muppets. He used to say, “I won’t write for felt.”

And all I could think was what a sad disposition O’Donoghue had. Sure, it must have been frustrating to having to go to Jim Henson just to have the writing cleared, but at the end Jim was far weirder than any of the SNL writers. And of course I love Muppets so I’m a bit biased.
