Julia Louis-Dreyfus recalls her early 1980s SNL experience as "very sexist" and "brutal"

USA Today

"There were plenty of people on the show who were incredibly funny," the former Veep star told Stephen Colbert in conversation at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on Sunday. "I was unbelievably naive and I didn’t really understand how the dynamics of the place worked. It was very sexist, very sexist." From that experience, Louis-Dreyfus says she "learned I wasn’t going to do anymore of this show-business crap unless it was fun."
