Gabriel LaBelle returns to Popcorn Podcast to talk new film Saturday Night, in which he portrays legendary SNL co-creator and producer Lorne Michaels. LaBelle shares insights into the high-energy, chaotic atmosphere of Jason Reitman’s film and the unique challenges of taking on such an influential figure in entertainment history – something the star is becoming accustomed to following his turn as a young Steven Spielberg in The Fabelmans. LaBelle also discusses the intense preparation required for his role, the thrill of seeing his performance paired with a live-improvised score, as well as sharing his thoughts on potential Saturday Night spin-offs and the joy of Wayne’s World.
