Pertaining to the Image used in the info box[edit]

While I am not sure, and I am by no means an expert at deducing and identifying altered images on the internet, it would appear to my untrained eye that the primary image used to identify mister Micheals is edited. Specifically, it would appear that someone has increased or "streched" the length of his mouth, lips pursed, to visually ridiculous levels. I am aware of some inside jokes that occur here on Wikipedia, such as increasing the size of various states little by little so as to not draw attention to the ruse. It is for this reason that I must ask: am I mistaken? Is Lorne Micheals in fact represented accurately here?

This is, in fact, an accurate image of Lorne Michaels. As he was one of the honorees the night this photo was taken, there are a number of similar photos available from the Library of Congress (1, 2) and UPI (1), as well as the Kennedy Center itself (1). There are also photos from other events (1, 2, 3) where he looks similar. As you will note in these photos, his mouth does seem wider than most people might expect, but that is simply how his mouth looks. -Etoile ✩ (talk) 21:40, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lipowitz > Michaels?[edit]

(12 years later) I can't seem to find in the article any mention of when/why (why may be obvious, but still) he changed his name from Lipowitz to Michaels. This would likely be worthwhile information--and help to make this article more properly encyclopedic. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 06:31, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Horatio Sanz Lawsuit[edit]

There should be a section added mentioning he was added as a defendant alleging the enabling of Horatio Sanz's sexual abuse of a minor. MisfitBlitz (talk) 03:10, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The controversy section should be readded as being listed as a defendant is not peripheral and settling out of court does not equal innocence. MisfitBlitz (talk) 07:05, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed again. Micheals was part of a shotgun accusation against multiple people with minor involvement. The case was "dismissed with prejudice" after being settled by the main defendant. Meters (talk) 07:08, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
