Harrelson also reveals that he spoke with Lorne Michaels about doing an _SNL_ version of the _The Hunger Games_ — and Killam does not do very well. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3581101/woody-harrelson-hunger-games-saturday-night-live-promo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3581101/woody-harrelson-hunger-games-saturday-night-live-promo/"},"headline":"Watch Woody Harrelson Turn SNL Into a Hunger Games Arena","datePublished":"2014-11-12T17:06:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:34.344Z","description":"Aidy Bryant volunteers as tribute","url":"https://time.com/3581101/woody-harrelson-hunger-games-saturday-night-live-promo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Hunger Games","SNL"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34c1bfa9fabb95f5/69876857e53aba5c434d5de3/screen-shot-2014-11-12-at-11-08-47-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34c1bfa9fabb95f5/69876857e53aba5c434d5de3/screen-shot-2014-11-12-at-11-08-47-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-11-12 at 11.08.47 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3581101/woody-harrelson-hunger-games-saturday-night-live-promo/","name":"Watch Woody Harrelson Turn SNL Into a Hunger Games Arena"}}]}] ```
