Generations of"Saturday Night Live" talent are paying tribute to Hal Willner, a longtime staff member of the show who is being remembered for his lovable weirdness as much as his musical genius.
Willner died Tuesday at age 64, according to Blake Zidell, a spokesperson for Willner. Willner had symptoms consistent with Covid-19 but had not been formally diagnosed, Zidell said. On paper, Willner wore many hats. One had him working on sketch music adaptations for"SNL," a duty which essentially called for him to choose the music for sketches featured on the long-running comedy series. He'd held the job since the '80s and was a current employee of the show.
