“I hosted last December and it was such a great experience and there were so many unexpected things about it that I thought a documentary would be perfect to highlight it all,” Franco told RadarOnline.com at the bash, sponsored by Diesel’s new Be Stupid campaign.
EXCLUSIVE: Why James Franco Is Doing General Hospital
“For example, since it’s a live show if you have two sketches in a row, you have to change really fast. When you host, you don’t realize you’re going to be yanked across the stage after one sketch ends and you have four or five people undressing you,” he said, sipping a vodka and water. “The clothes all have velcro, so one person will pull your shirt off, another will pull your pants off, and someone else swaps your wig and facial hair. It's nerve-wracking and a little surreal to have all these people working on you. And – since it’s live - if you aren’t ready in time, you’re kinda screwed.”

Franco says that the genesis of the project came courtesy of a school assignment at NYU Film School, where the actor is currently taking classes. “Our task the first year was to make a five minute documentary, and I immediately thought of doing SNL. [Executive Producer] Lorne Michaels gave me such great access to the show, it was unprecedented,” Franco said. “He’d never given this much access to anyone and he let us film everything. We shot it in one week, from Monday to the airdate on Saturday night, and got the writing process down to rehearsals. John Malkovich was the host when we filmed and he was great and let us shoot the whole process.”
Franco’s documentary is set to premiere at South By Southwest Film Festival in March.
Report: Team Conan's Blunder - Nixed SNL Boss To Produce Tonight Show

Saturday Night Live’s legendary producer Lorne Michaels was a candidate to produce Conan O’Brien's ill-fated Tonight Show when it made its debut last September, but O’Brien's team reportedly declined, in what show biz insiders say was a crucial mistake.
Michaels "could have helped Conan navigate the stormy political waters at NBC," a source told the NY Daily News. "He, obviously, is extremely well-respected there.” Despite that report, the Daily News also quotes a rep for Conan who said that "no one ever suggested to Conan that Lorne be a producer."
