In his 2011 autobiography "God, If You're Not Up There, I'm F*cked: Tales of Stand-Up, Saturday Night Live, and Other Mind-Altering Mayhem", Darrell Hammond recounts that during the It's a Wonderful Life (1946) inspired monologue, Val Kilmer refused to say one of the lines that were scripted for him, and Hammond was instructed to "handle it" and bridge the gap in the dialogue that was created by the line's omission.
In his 2019 autobiography, "Baby Don't Hurt Me", Chris Kattan recalls that he asked Bono to appear in a fake Public Service Announcement at the end of a Mango sketch, which would have featured Val Kilmer as a competitive stripper named 'The Dutch Boy'. However, Bono wasn't interested in appearing in a sketch and the entire Mango sketch ended up being cut after dress rehearsal.
