Sean “Daddy” Combs was reportedly in high demand as a musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” in the ’90s.
While appearing on “Bodybuilders” Podcast Hosted by current “SNL” star Bowen Yang and the self-proclaimed Prince of Christmas Matt Rogers, comedian Anna Gastier claimed that Diddy “shut down the whole building” for his May 1998 appearance.
Gastier was a regular cast member on the show from 1996 to 2002, and Diddy remembers performing “Come With Me” with Jimmy Page and the New York Philharmonic. He said that the closure of the seat is an unusual event.

“You could tell like five a**holes in the six years that I was there, when they’d be like, ‘This is how it is in the building, everybody stay in your dressing rooms.’ Which applies if you’re a presidential candidate,” Gastier said. “But other than that, really, this is my home.”
Gasteyer added, “For P. Diddy, he demanded a completely closed set.”

He added, “It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened, because what does a person deserve to have their Kashmir moment interrupted by Ron, and [Diddy] Didn’t really roll with it. He was very anxious.”
“But it was just like that, the artificiality of all this false importance,” Gastier said. “Like what’s going to happen? You’re going to go into the studio, and you’re going to be like, “I’m in the studio. I work here.”
