Ajay Naidu as Samir Nagheenanajar and David Herman as Michael Bolton sitting together in Office Space
The Big Picture The 1990s saw many popular sketches from Saturday Night Live being adapted into films, as studios posited the theory that they could stretch out a recurring sketch into a feature length story. The success of these adaptations varied drastically in terms of quality. While Wayne’s World and its underrated sequel were both met with critical acclaim, films like Coneheads and A Night At The Roxbury had to settle for being cult favorites.
Office Space RComedyCrime Three company workers who hate their jobs decide to rebel against their greedy boss. While Herman was interested in appearing in Office Space, his seven year contract with MADtv barred him from working on a rival production. In order to work with Judge, Herman decided to scream off of his lines during a cast reading at MADtv, which resulted in him getting fired. Judge was able to fill in Herman’s work by giving him a recurring voice role on his series King of the Hill, which is often cited as one of the best animated series for adults.
Getting himself fired from MADtv was one of the best moves that Herman could have made. Unlike Saturday Night Live, a show whose alumni often went on to have established film careers, the cast members of MADtv had a more challenging time breaking into other projects. Herman’s specific brand of awkward comedy wasn't a perfect fit for MADtv, as he tended to work better in projects where he could bring more originality to the role.
