40 Years of SNL
In preparation for tonight's three-hour (!) celebration of Saturday Night Live's 40 years in production, here's are a couple of clips from my favorite cast member. Feel free to add your own, or play along in the comments.
My favorite deep cut skit of all time was a segment Fred Armisen did his first season. It was when "The Gates" were hung all over Central Park. He played a mook who was interviewing folks. He wore a Mets satin jacket and interviewed strangers badly.
He nailed the character. Everybody who ever had a corporate job in NY knew a guy like this from their mailroom or security desk.
Real life Armisen is a mysogynist douchebag, but he's amazingly talented.
Other classic skit was when Broderick hosted during the Kevin Nealon era. They did a skit at a nudist camp where everybody complented each other's penis. Broderick's character entered the sketch and everybody felt bad for him b/c he had such a small one.
They sang something called the Penis Song at the end. Good stuff.
Great line up there teejus. I'm a fan of Heder solid as well. Some good characters. And am not a fan of most of his stuff, but Dana Carvey doing Carson with Hartman as Ed....that's some good good stuff there.
My stolen hoodie was returned to the gym. Which was nice. Unfortunately today somebody took my car keys from the key rack instead of their own very similar looking set of keys. Currently stranded at the gym without car keys. Bad times, man. Bad times.
The Californians. Consistently funny but not laugh out loud funny. Chris Farley, David Spade (an unsung member imo) and Adam Sandler as young teenage girls in restaurant.

Bobby Moynihan. He knows Jon Hamm.
