Okay bear with me, I saw this on air date decades ago, but this is what I remember.
The host (who I believe was Tony Danza) was in his apartment with his girlfriend (almost certainly Julia Sweeny). She clearly was playing an extremely unhinged “Overly attached girlfriend” type It was very funny until she said something over the top, “too real” that elicited an audible gasp and silence from the audience.
I have looked for this clip all over the internet and NBC’s website over the years and have never found it. I believe it might be a “lost episode” that never aired again because of controversial content, and I think that might be because of a sketch where the characters repeatedly said “Funkin A” except it sounded exactly like “Fuckin’ A” and I think the censors didn’t like that.
Oh, I remember that sketch very well! My wife and I used to refer to it for years afterwards, especially the line “Would you love me if I were 6 inches tall and you had to carry me around in a shoebox?” Yeah, at the end of the sketch she gets “too real” in-universe, but I don’t hear any gasps or silence from the audience or anything that indicates they’re not taking it as it was intended.
Oh gosh. That definitely has some elements, like Tony Danza and being with his girlfriend. But I swear it was a regular cast member and I really think one of the early sketches of Julia Sweeney before she became a featured player. And she really was a fatal attraction type. And maybe it wasn’t Tony Danza at all.
I was also pretty darn sure it was the same episode of Season 14: Episode 11Tony Danza: 01/28/89: Da War of Da Woilds". I think that’s impossible though, since Sweeney joined the cast in '90, and this description of the episode doesn’t have any sketch like that.
So it’s probably just a bunch of conflated memories. Bah, memory is such a weird thing, it sucks. That sketch probably IS the main component though.
There’s a sketch I’ve been looking for also which seems to have disappeared from existence.
It was one of the Larry’s Corner shows with Brad Hall as Larry. He has his buddies on the show. One can make fart noises with his arm pit, one will drink anything, and one has milk come out of his nose when he laughs.
Of course the one buddy starts with the fart noises which sets off the chain of events.
I remember it since it was the skit that is abruptly interrupted to report that Buckwheat had been shot.
Can’t find a video of it anywhere.
Well, forgive me for missing some details on a 30 year old memory. Considering it did have Julia Sweeney playing a very “off” character talking to her boyfriend in his apartment, I don’t think I did did too bad.
