Reese Witherspoon<\/a> appeared on the \u201cArmchair Expert\u201d podcast and spoke candidly about not appearing on \u201cSNL<\/a>\u201d for nearly 15 years after she made her hosting debut on the show\u2019s first episode after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Witherspoon was just 24 years old at the time and fresh off the summer box office success of \u201cLegally Blonde<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorne Michaels<\/a> called me and he said, \u2018I really need you to show up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
