Does it bother anyone...
That Forman didn't bother to make Letterman or Lorne Michaels look younger for their cameos, that were supposed to take place years earlier?
shareI heard Letterman refused make-up. Why Michaels didn't have any make-up though? I don't know. Possibly the same reason.
shareLorne's hair was darker... lol
shareIt's a shame too, because Jerry Lawler's de-aging was unbelievably good. Just fantastic.
shareIt doesn't help that Lorne Michaels wasn't even the producer of Saturday Night Live in 1982, Dick Ebersol was. Milos Forman probably didn't know but why couldn't someone have told him about Ebersol?

its because Michaels nor letterman are actors.
But then again neither was Jerry Lawler.
Wasn't Lorne Michaels hair darker in the first scene but then when he appeared later (with Shapiro and then again to vote Kaufman off) he had white hair? share
I assumed it was tongue in cheek to have them be the "wrong" ages.
shareYes, Lorne would have definitely been there at the inaugural show, which he was in the movie, and the dark hair helped. The other poster is correct about Ebersol, though, but again, "Andy" tells us at the beginning that a LOT of the "facts" are totally skewed. So, having Lorne there, with gray/white hair, during the "Vote For/Against Andy" part wasn't accurate, but I don't think it detracted that much from the story.
