Sarah Silverman, who hosted NBC’s Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, told fellow former SNL castmember Seth Meyers on Thursday’s Late Night that she once stabbed former SNL star and current U.S. Senator Al Franken in the head with a pencil.

Silverman, who was a featured player and writer on the hit comedy show for only one season in the 1990s, told Meyers that it all started because of her obsession with Franken’s “big Jew fro.”

According to Sarah, this is what happened next:

“I was just kind of like a million miles away looking at his hair. The whole table has really sharpened pencils, like super sharp… and in my mind, I just thought, I’m gonna like stab this through his hair. But what everyone saw, because this is what happened, was that I just stabbed him really hard. Because I was going to go through his hair in my mind but it just went in his temple. He screamed something like, ‘WHY?’… I somehow wasn’t asked back for the next season.”

In reality, the former SNL castmember says she looked up to Franken. “Like during rewrites and stuff, I would always sit next to him,” she told Meyers. “And I would always be kind of leaning back in my chair like a cool kid—really cool.”
