Thanks child...you seem a little grizzled for 16.

I wasn't shocked until it showed up somewhere besides my head.

Yeah, but I enjoy being young. I have a kickass car, no bills, all the luxuries...Ahh, things are good.

Yeah, I've made the rounds a few times.
Bill Murray was the original lounge singer, but Carvey did choppin broccoli.
What about the Jan Hooks / Nora Dunn lounge singer duo?
Oh yeah, every medley eventually turned into "Clang clang clang went the trolley, ding ding ding went the bell ..." ....
Gilda Radner in practically anything she ever did.
Some of the ads done the first year were really terrific, such as the Super Bass-o-Matic, Spud Beer and New Dad.
so many great moments, so little time!
rob schneider's "makin' copies"
dana carvey & kevin nealon's "pump you up"
chevy chase's "gerald ford"
jim breuer "joe pesci" & "goat boy"
funniest hosts: alec balwin, chris walker, the rock
My ex was a lounge singer and I had to hide my guffaws when the duo struck up"Clang Clang". It was righteous.
I like Alec Baldwin's Schwetty Balls.
I miss Gilda from the original cast the most. Loved Rosanne Rosannadanna and Emily Litella.
Never mind.
It definitely was Bill Murray as the lounge singer. He did an excellent job.
I also liked Gilda Radner a lot. She was great as Emily Litilda and as a nerd with Bill Murray.
How about the Bees with John Belishi. I also thought the skit with John Belishi being the last surviving original SNL star was funny and a bit ironic considering the outcome.
How about two wild and crazy guys!
Gosh, that's a tough one. Just at random, I'll enter a vote as a tossup among Dana Carvey as The Church Lady, Carvey and Kevin Nealon as Hans and Franz, and Mike Myers as "Linda Richmon."
I liked the cheerleaders...
"School spirit isn't something that you can just turn on and off..."
Sometimes I have to marvel at the influence of Canadian humor on SNL. I think there are less Canadians now, but don't have any figures to prove it.
for some reason that reminds me of SCTV (second city television).
didn't SNL use SCTV as a farm system in the 80's?
belushi & chase worked together on national lampoon's lemmings in '73.
i highly recommend it, if you can get your hands on it...
SCTV bit: someone was sent out to the streets to ask women about "the big O." One woman misunderstood: "Oh, he's a fine point man who can go to hard to the hole with either hand."
She thought they were asking about Oscar Robertson, not orgasms....
Hmm, SCTV. The roster out of that show is formidable:
Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, John Candy, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Andrea Martin....
SCTV was a seperate system altogether, but SNL did use Second City as a breeding ground for new talent, I think Lorne Micheals did work with them too. I read about it once, but I think there were several troupes including one in Toronto and Chicago. Most of the big names in comedy toured with 2nd City at one point or another.
the second city gang is still doing terrific work here in Toronto. a friend went on the weekend - said it was terrific.
The Second City Toronto is proud to announce its 55th Revue:
"Invasion Free Since 1812."
