Schneider claims Murray 'absolutely hated' the 'SNL' cast.
Bill Murray is a beloved actor for many, but new statements allege that the 72-year-old "hated" many of the 1990s cast members on Saturday Night Live.
Comedy actor Rob Schneider, who was on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1994, before going on to star in many comedy movies like The Hot Chick and Grown Ups, revealed some interesting information in a new interview on SiriusXM's Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show, which was posted to YouTube earlier today, Oct. 14.
Schneider said of Murray, "He's super nice to fans, he wasn't very nice to us. He hated us on Saturday Night Live when he hosted. Absolutely hated us. I mean, seething."
Murray was a Saturday Night Live cast member between 1976 to 1980, but Schneider spoke about a time when Murray was a guest host.
The 58-year-old went on to say that the Groundhog Day actor seemed to have an intense dislike for Adam Sandler and the late Chris Farley, in particular.
Schneider said, "He hated Chris Farley with a passion. Like he was just seething looking at him."
When asked why, Schneider prefaced that he didn't really know, but he thought that part of his hate for Farley might've come from the fact that "Chris thought it was cool to be [John] Belushi, who [was Murray's] friend who he saw die. He thought it was cool to be that out of control. That's my interpretation, but I don't really know."
For Sandler, Schneider said that Murray "really hated Sandler too… He just wasn't into that groove of it, you know?"
He then went on to say, "The least of the hate was to me [and] I took great pleasure in that he hated me less, because he's my hero."
Another major comedy star, Seth Green, also told a memorable story about Murray in a video for the YouTube channel Good Mythical Morning posted on Oct. 13.
During an appearance on Saturday Night Live when he was nine years old, Murray reacted quite seriously to Green sitting in "his" chair.
Green recounted the story: "[Murray] was like, 'That's my chair.' And then my mom goes, 'You know, since he's the Bill Murray you should maybe give him his seat.' And I go, 'Are you this much of a jerk? You're this rude to tell a nine-year-old to get out of your … what is this power play?'"
But then it got physical, as Green said, "He picked me up by my ankles, he dangled me over a trash can and he was like, 'The trash goes in the trash can.' And I was screaming, and I swung my arms wildly, full contact with his balls. He dropped me in the trash can and the trash can falls over. I was horrified."
The Buffy The Vampire Slayer actor recalled Eddie Murphy and Tim Kazurinsky coming to give him a pep talk, telling him, "Hey, everybody knows Bill's a d--k, you know? He's hosting the show. He's probably really like nervous about it. You be a pro, right? The show must go on."
Murray has yet to make a statement.
