Al Franken and fellow members of the cast of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" pose on the show's set in New York on Sept. 22, 1992. From left, front row, are: Chris Farley, Franken and Melanie Hutsell. In middle row, from left, are: Chris Rock, Julia Sweeney, Dana Carvey and Rob Schneider. In back row, from left, are: Adam Sandler, David Spade, Ellen Cleghorne, Kevin Nealon, Phil Hartman and Tim Meadows.
While Sweeney acknowledged on “The View” that “there was some criticism” of Pat, she reminded viewers that “Pat isn’t trans or non binary. Pat is a man or a woman, but you just don’t know which Pat is. That is the joke, but I did understand the criticism, and I took it to heart and thought about it a lot.”
