Tim Bagley Claims He Couldn't Audition for 'Saturday Night Live' as Openly Gay Man

Tim Bagley is looking back at trying to land a role on Saturday Night Live.

In a new interview, the 67-year-old actor – who has appeared on shows including Grace & Frankie, Will & Grace, Web Therapy, and Somebody Somewhere – recalled being a member of the sketch comedy troupe the Groundlings back in the 1980s.

Despite being a part of the group that launched the careers of many SNL stars, Tim claimed that back at that time, he couldn’t audition for the NBC sketch comedy series because he was a publicly out gay man.
