“Saturday Night Live” comic Darrell Hammond -- famed for his spot-on impressions of Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Dick Cheney -- reveals in a new book how he drank and did cocaine while with the show and was once taken from NBC “in a straitjacket.”
To escape memories of a traumatic childhood, Hammond heavily indulged in alcohol and drugs as he rose to fame on the show, where he worked with guests Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Mick Jagger and Sting.
