Reese Witherspoon has recently made shocking revelation about her Saturday Night Live experience after September 11, 2001 tragic incident.
The Oscar winner appeared on Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard and talked about her experience more than two decades ago.
“I would give that zero stars. Do not recommend,” said the 49-year-old.
Reese recalled receiving a call from Lorne Michaels who requested her “to show up”.
Sweet Home Alabama actress mentioned what Lorne said to her at the time.
“I really, really need this. Rudy Giuliani’s gonna be here. All the firefighters are gonna be here. Paul Simon is gonna sing. I just need you to come out and do something a little light and tell America, ‘You can’t feel sad. We gotta laugh again. We’ve got to get back the national spirit,’” stated Reese.
It is pertinent to note that actress-producer was scheduled to host the second episode of season 27, but that the first episode ended up being cancelled after the 9/11 attacks.
“I was 24. I also had a baby. I had a one-year-old. I was a new mom. I had the biggest movie come out that summer,” pointed out The Morning Show star.
However, Reese remarked that when she says she’s going to do something, “I mean there has to be a real disaster. We did it and it was good”.
However, the Legally Blonde actress explained that it was “just too much responsibility for a 24-year-old girl” at the time.
However, Reese admitted, “Southern and military ethics” prevented her from turning down SNL creator Lorne when he asked.
Meanwhile, the actress and producer finally made a comeback in 2015 to host SNL during season 40, with musical guest Florence and the Machine.
