It’s not the comedy moments for me, it’s the music. Two incidents stick out in my mind : 1 : Elvis Costello stopping his song againt the producers wishes and doing “Radio Radio” instead. 2 : The first appearance of Devo. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing. ---

My fravorite sketch is probably the Computer Store/ Orange Julius sketch with Sly Stallone (playing a borderline retarded salesman) and Will Ferrel and Tim Meadows. The Wayne’s World Madonna appearence with their parody of the Justify My Love video with Garth’s huge package. ---

Mine would have to be the episode with the “Rock for Michael” song. It was a song for Michael Jordan sung by Aerosmith, the SNL cast portraying various singers, and Snoop Dogg. “Runaway, Mike better come back, got season tickets, can’t get my money back. Don’t you know that you’re so crowd pleasing, Won’t you stick around for one more season?” Also on the same episode. The skit with Kevin Nealon, Rob Schneider, and Adam Sandler. Where Rob was a guitar player in a subway station/terminal (??) and people would throw money into his guitar case. Upon doing this Rob would tell them he doesn’t need their money, only to then sing his true feelings saying that’s he’s really just a bum and needs money. This would keep going on with people putting money in then taking it out only to put it back in after every song, et cetera. ---

Belushi doing his Joe Cocker impression, side-by-side with the original. Bu’wheat sings (“Fee Time a Maby”) (dang…can’t remember who…probably Dana Carvey) as Ted Koppel about to go on vacation, so he pre-records death announcements for Gerald Ford…that get progressively more and more unlikely (dying in a hail of police gunfire after a liquor store holdup). ---

The Canteen Boy sketch with Alec Baldwin deserves a mention. “Old French Whore” There was a mock documentary about the “first black player on the Harlem Globetrotters” (who was played by Michael Jordan) that was great. It was basically mock black&white footage of MJ literally dribbling circles around, dunking on and generally destroying a bunch of slow, white, 50’s era basketball players. “I wanna be a ho.” There ---

Many of mine have ben mentioned but one that I clearly remember is Jane Curtain, during Weekend Update, ripping open her blouse and showing her bra. The Steve Martin/Gilda Radner dance. Buck Henery babysitting Gilda and Lorraine. Alce Baldwin-- My balls are here for your enjoyment. ---

The first thing I thought of was when the censors allowed the word “penis” on the air, so SNL did what they did best. They had a skit of a nudist colony where the actors pretty much just stood around saying “nice penis”. Norm McDonald’s droping the “F” bomb, and then basically acknowledging it could be his last broadcast. When Barbra Streisand showed up on Coffee Talk. [Kirstie allow in the restaurant sketch where she makes out with everybody.](http://snltranscripts.jt.org/91/91ccantore.phtml) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-most-memorable-snl-moment/374092.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-most-memorable-snl-moment/374092.md?page=3)
