Didn’t know he could still pull gigs after the accusations of grooming came out.
I'm devastated by this news. Sanz was always one of my main guys. But this isn't the time to act sentimental.
-
Sanz invited the child to an SNL after party when she was 16 and he fed her alcohol
-
A week later he invited her to an SNL party and encouraged her to sit on his lap, in front of his co-workers, while he manhandled her breasts and allegedly fingered her.
-
Sanz explicitly instructed the girl to keep their relationship and communications secret. "Don't tell anybody. Promise?" He knew what he was doing
-
After witnessing Sanz grope the breasts of the girl a fellow NBC employee asked him, "Are you fucking serious?" Again, Sanz knew what he was doing
-
Years later the woman whom he'd molested as a child ran into Sanz. He allegedly admitted to having cybersex with her and claimed that he'd masturbated while chatting with her while she was underage

"On November 27, 2019, the suit claims, Sanz said in a text-message conversation that he “felt terrible about” hooking up with her when she was 16, that he was “very sorry,” and that “I was a creep but a wounded creep. And I’ve tried to make amends since quitting drinking.” Among other messages Sanz allegedly sent include one saying that he would “swear on a stack of improv books … I’m a different person,” that he was “very immature and had very limited sexual awareness,” and that he “wasn’t really thinking. But I really didn’t do that with others. It was a f***ing big mistake. I’m very sorry. If you want to metoo me you have every right. Just believe me I’m not like that anymore.” - Vulture, which long ago absorbed Splitsider, which was a site focused on serious news about comedians.
If he's "not like that anymore," then he certainly was like that previously
There you have it--Sanz admitted to his crimes and there are text messages to back it up. There's no debate to be had aside from how this revelation should be handled. While we all adore the living fuck out of Horatio and his amazing contributions to SNL, he's now an admitted pedophile. I don't pretend to know what the suitable repercussions should be, but he has to face them when they come.
Anyone else love those? Those were always my favorite back in the early 2000s.
Fallon & NBC have remained very quiet too...
I've noticed that Sanz has started posting on Instagram despite a few months silence.
I haven’t finished reading this Humorism piece yet, but I’m passing it along because it looks worthwhile.
