Bobby Moynihan and Jane Lynch on 'SNL' in 2010Bobby Moynihan is holding a grudge.
Asked about the three "most overwhelming feelings" in his life, Moynihan named the death of his parents and the realization that his own kids would go through that. The third was "when Jane Lynch had one of my sketches cut on SNL," the comedian, who was a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 2008 to 2017, told current cast member Ego Nwodim on a recent episode of her podcast, Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim,
He added, "I still want to kill her to this day."
It happened when she hosted the Oct. 6, 2010, episode, and the sketch was one that he had submitted more than once.

"No one told me you weren’t supposed to f---ing hand stuff in multiple times when I first got there," Moynihan said. "And, uh, I kinda did, and it was a sketch called 'Party for Berle.'" The character was a man who was having a party at his house because he had reached his goal weight of 600 pounds, Moynihan explained.
"They built a big body on a chair, and I had my head poking through it. Jane Lynch was my very normal wife, and there was a lot of very normal suburban people at this party. And they were all having a party, and Jane Lynch did all the talking and was like, 'Hey everybody, thanks for coming.'... She told the whole story like I just told you, and she would go, 'Isn't that right, Berle?' And I would go, 'Yeah.' he never said anything else. And I never moved."
Later in the sketch, most of the party moved into another room to play Twister, but not the man of the hour. Kenan Thompson played a drug dealer who looked like a regular grandfather.

Bobby Moynihan on 'Saturday Night Live'"It was just very weird and stupid, and it was never going to get on again, and it made it to dress, and it got in the show."
Moynihan noted that the sketch was placed behind "Weekend Update," which he considers the "fun spot."
But, at some point, the sketch was abruptly canceled. Creator Lorne Michaels famously keeps cards featuring the week's sketches on a board, and the card was taken down and replaced.

"It just says Suze Orman Show. And it was, like, a political sketch where Jane Lynch was playing Suze Orman that kinda tanked or whatever," the comedian said, then reconsidered his words. "I don"t remember how it did to be honest."
He had never seen that on the show before, he said, "where they’d made a decision and then reneged." Then Moynihan recalled, the Glee star "just kind of leaned over and whispered, 'Sorry, Suze Orman's a friend of mine.' And I was, like, devastated."
