Oh poo poo I forgot that character originated in Brain Candy as a Lorne Michaels dig. He shows up again in the new series but he's a more generic out-of-touch CEO character now. Probably bc Michaels still owns the rights to KITH through Broadway Video, so unfortunately they have to kiss rear end.

Which is kinda my main issue with Michaels, he demands a culture of kiss-assery and subsequently does poo poo like the making people wait outside his office for hours thing. And isn't afraid to crush people to get his way from a business perspective, in order to keep that fear and capitulation always going.

You don't get someone being a media 'boss' for this long without him also being a sleazy motherfucker who knows how to use power to his advantage, and does it often.

I feel like Robinson being on SNL is proof that it doesn't actually 'elevate' the best talents - sure, it gets the incredibly funny people but then it waters their work down to moderate dreck.
