Mark McKinney(I)

Although all five members of the The Kids in the Hall (1988) troupe were offered a spot on Saturday Night Live (1975), McKinney was the only one who accepted.

It took us a while to figure out what the camera did to comedy, but that was a creative lesson to learn. If you go back to our first season you'll see a few sketches without any kind of editing that television allows you to do to make the thing pace up a bit. But the half-hour format was very generous. We were indulged and coached and nurtured in such a fantastic way that it kind of spoiled us. We got to do this completely original thing at a very young age, and then we got to discover what he bigger business was actually like.
