Lorne Michaels' Stalker Evans Pidhajecky Accuses SNL Producer Of Stealing Material From His Life

NEW YORK — A criminal court judge has upheld charges against a Long Island, New York, man accused of stalking "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels.

A misdemeanor complaint says 31-year-old Oyster Bay resident Evans Pidhajecky (pid-uh-CHEK'-ee) claimed Michaels overheard his conversations and singing and used his thoughts on the "SNL" show without his permission.

The complaint says an "upset" Pidhajecky tried to contact the 63-year-old Michaels several times at NBC's Manhattan studios and at his home to "chat."

Police arrested Pidhajecky in December and charged him with stalking and resisting arrest. He is free on $1,500 bail.

Manhattan Judge Marc Whiten said last week Pidhajecky's intentions were "irrelevant" since his actions had "no legitimate purpose" and alarmed Michaels.

Pidhajecky's lawyer, Peter Brill, says he disagrees with the judge.

I'm Evans Pidhajecky and you're not.

This is funny. SNL should do a skit and have Chevy Chase be the stalker. I'd watch.

Mr 5150 stole your idea. You must sue him immediately. I'll watch.

It has been at least 20 years since SNL had anything to say, Lorne Michaels never had much to do with the quality, except with respect to hiring talent. The talent took the show to the edges in the beginning, but no more. If it were not for the overpopulation of channels no one would watch SNL, not even stoned.

Having watched SNL in the past, I have yet to see what's actually FUNNY about it.

That's why I stopped watching it.

I certainly wouldn't take claim for it...

Or maybe I should watch; Lord only knows if anything I've said has been nicked too. Intellectual property, y'all.

Hell, SNL stole material from everybody's lives!

Only if you lived in NYC
