It opened more doors for him because everybody talked about it at the water cooler.

Mohr said in "Gasping For Airtime" that the Skittles skit was conceived by Steve Lookner (SNL writer) on a Tuesday. Mohr and Lookner stayed up all night rewriting it. After a table read on Wednesday, it was selected for the show by Lorne. It went well in dress rehearsal, but Lorne was furious that the live sketch went 30 seconds too long.
