Reese Witherspoon Had a Good Reason for Staying Away From 'SNL'

Reese Witherspoon first hosted Saturday Night Live in 2001, which should have been an incredible moment for the young actress coming off the smash success of Legally Blonde that summer. Instead, the episode taped in front of live studio audience in New York on September 28, and well, you can do the math there. The experience was so harrowing that Witherspoon refused to come back to the show for nearly 15 years, and honestly, who can blame her? (The Daily Beast)
