SNL Cast Member and Iowa Native, Gary Kroeger Talks to the Dorks

Iowan Gary Kroeger talked with us this morning about attending the "Saturday Night Live" 40th Anniversary with his 15-year-old son, Chris. Check out some photos from the night.

David Burke wrote a great article about Gary in the QC Times.

So many people in an incredible mood last night. Highlights for me were the kind and gracious people who really took time to talk to my son. People like Paul Rudd, Bob Oedenkirk, Julia Sweeney, Jim Brewer, Andy Breckman, Jim Downey, A Whitney Brown, Tim Meadows, Tim Kazurinsky, David Sheffield, Martin Short, Jim Carrey, Barry Blaustein, Don Novello, Jim Belushi, Joe Piscopo, Colin Quinn, Andrew Smith, Steve Higgins, Alan Zweibel, the entire new cast of SNL, Payton and Eli Manning, Fred Armenson, and Sarah Palin. Yes, Sarah Palin.
