Bryan Cranston reveals SNL sketch idea that was…
It’s all about the sauce.
Bryan Cranston mirrored on his 2010 “Saturday Night Live” internet hosting gig during a current look on David Spade and Dana Carvey’s “Fly on the Wall” podcast.
“I just wanted to do anything. I had a couple pitches for them,” Cranston, 69, informed the 2 alums of the sketch comedy collection. “I pitched ideas which were almost immediately shut down. I had a great pitch.”

Cranston defined, “So, myself and a date and another couple. We can’t believe we got reservations for this restaurant. It’s supposed to be amazing. It’s called In the Sauce, and it’s like, wow. And this very snooty waiter comes in and says, ‘Are you ready?’ Can we see a menu? ‘No. We don’t give menus. We serve you food. You eat the food. You leave.’ You know? It’s like, oh, okay. Yes. Yes. Yes.”

“And they say, it’s all about the sauce,’” the “Breaking Bad” star continued. “So he puts down a crudité, and we dip it in the sauce, and it’s, like, oh my god. Just amazing. Crudité is taken away. Here comes the entree. You’re eating the entree. We’re eating. Oh my god, this sauce is absolutely insane. We’re overeating. We eat too much. We throw up.”

“We dip the barf in the sauce. Oh my god. It’s all about the sauce,” he added. “It’s like no matter what you’re eating, as long as the sauce is good. It’s like, you have a severed finger and you dip it in the sauce and it’s still good.”
Spade, 60, and Carvey, 70, both received a kick out of Cranston’s sketch idea, in contrast to those that had been on the show at the time.

“It didn’t get past the Monday meeting,” Cranston stated about his skit.
“I truncated that pitch. It goes much longer,” he added with a chuckle.

“You’re waiting behind the door and I’m standing there going, ‘Oh my God, I’m about to host ‘Saturday Night Live,’” the Emmy Award winner recalled.
“And i just took a couple deep breaths, and then I heard Don Pardo’s voice going, ‘And host Bryan Cranston!’” he added. “That freaked me out and the door opens and out we go. Like shot out of a canon.”
