Robert Downey Jr. and Jimmy Fallon Recall Worst. Details inside!

Downey, who worked on SNL for one year when he was 20, said that his time on the show was "arguably the worst season in its history." He recalled the only sketch that he wrote that made it to air, which he stated was a "ridiculous sketch called 'Suitcase Boy.'" He explained, "I came out with a suitcase zipped around my neck and said a bunch of nonsequiturs. And it was so not funny, except to me and my weirdo friends."

 
Fallon also shared his worst sketch, called "Plate Boy and Cup Boy." He said, "Alec Baldwin was the host and he's always been great to me and he was always like, 'Try new things.'" The sketch got inspired by Horatio Sanz's ability to shake cups back and forth until they flew "up into the air kind of like a tornado." Fallon even shared a clip from the unaired sketch, which showed Fallon struggling to carry a pile of paper plates and Sanz's pile of cups flying into the air.
During the appearance, Downey and Fallon made a '90s-themed ad for allergy medicine called Zynerma. They were clueless as to what they would say before the sketch and read their lines off of cue cards they saw for the first time while performing.
