Laraine Newman Reflects on O.J. Simpson's 'SNL' Hosting and Surprising On-Screen Moment

The former 'SNL' star described O.J. Simpson as a 'good kisser' during a recent interview, recalling their 1978 sketch together.

Laraine Newman appeared on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen alongside other 'SNL' alums to discuss the show's history.
Newman revealed that during O.J. Simpson's 1978 guest-hosting appearance on 'SNL,' the two shared an on-screen kiss for a parody sketch of the film 'Mandingo.'
She described Simpson as a 'good kisser' and noted the controversial nature of the sketch, which she said would not be acceptable today.
Simpson hosted the show during the height of his NFL career, years before his fall from grace following his 1995 murder trial and later civil liability ruling.
O.J. Simpson passed away in April 2024 from prostate cancer at the age of 76, leaving a legacy marked by both athletic achievements and legal controversies.
