Fresh off his first Emmy nomination for his work on the fifth season of FX’s crime series Fargo, Lamorne Morris got on the phone with Deadline to preview Sony’s SNL 1975 and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir , and discuss his hopes for the future of his career.

Of SNL 1975, Morris said, “Jason Reitman directed this thing to perfection. It’s a great look at day one of SNL, the ups and downs, how the show almost didn’t happen, the characters. Lorne Michaels, played by Gabe Labelle, trying to manage all these personalities while trying to get this show on the air. Obviously, 50 years later, we know what this show has become, but when you see the origins of it and the actors in this film, you’re going to be amazed.”

For Morris, part of the project’s appeal was the chance to play Garrett Morris, SNL’s first black cast member.
