This Is What It's Like To Get Butt-Dialed By Lorne Michaels

When the most intimidating man in comedy calls you, you answer. Even if it's a butt dial.

During a Todd Snyder photo shoot and series of video interviews with the men of "Saturday Night Live" (minus Kenan Thompson -- what up with that?), GQ asked the guys to share their favorite story about executive producer Lorne Michaels.

Hear those stories in the video above and watch the one below to find out what it's like to get the call from Michaels:

The "Saturday Night Live" 40th Anniversary Special will air live on Sunday Feb. 15 at 7ET/4PT on NBC.
