from
Wikipedia
O ' Donoghue returned to SNL in 1981 when new executive producer Dick Ebersol needed an old hand to help revive the faltering series.
O ' Donoghue's volatile personality and mood swings made this difficult: His first day on the show he screamed at all the cast members, telling Mary Gross she was as talented as a pair of old shoes, and forcing everyone to write on the walls with magic markers.
According to the book Live From New York O ' Donoghue tried to shake things up on that first day by saying " this is what the show lacks " and spray-painting the word " DANGER " on the wall of his office.
