And speaking of Alec Baldwin: His frist appearence as Pete Schwetty on the public radio skit absolutely kills me every time. Sophomoric humor at its finest.

I looked up a transcript of the sketch, and it makes me giggle like a young girl just reading it.

I’ve always been fond of the _Norm MacDonald Fan Club_

Not “buck-ass naked”-fond, mind you. But fond.

Horatio Sanz needs some more lovin’. “Gap Fat” was outstanding. I don’t think his impression of Ozzy is all that accurate, but it’s damned funny to watch and he was doing it long before “The Osbournes” made Ozzy popular again.

Also, “My parent’s were eaten by a bear, help me throw this couch out a window!”

Kattan is leaving??  
Guess his film career is taking off.😃

The original cast was best, but Eddie Murphy was sure good (Mister Robinsons’ neighborhood)

Also, am I the only one who loved Kattan and Oteri’s horny couple skits?

Buck Henry was always the best host, he fit right in.

Farley and Rock did a sketch for “Long Leak” and “F-ed Up” brands of Malt Liquor that, ten years later, is still part of our family lexicon.

I’ve never been able to stomach SNL following the Piscopo/Murphy era. IMHO, they should have changed the name of the show after that. I’ve tried to watch at least a few shows a year and maybe I’m just getting old but I just don’t laugh. In fact, many times, I find myself wondering “Was there a point to that last sketch? What part was supposed to be funny?” I don’t find myself ever doing that with the original cast.
