Best scenes/skits - SNL history

CHASE: Knock knock
RADNER: Who's there?
CHASE: Babs' uvula
RADNER: Babs' uvula who?
CHASE: I don't know, Babs.

 

I have so many favorites that it's hard to pick one, but I'll give a nod to Space the Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray.

Will Ferrell's VH1 Storytellers on Neil Diamond is my all-time favorite Ferrell sketch.

 

Since no one has mentioned it yet, I was always a fan of "Tales of Ribaldry" with Lovitz as the hostess Evelyn Quinn.

And, sportsgopher, I would definitely have to include Hanks on the list of all-time hosts. The show he hosted in late '88 had three great skits in that I've seen listed (listed a couple of them myself) on this thread: Mr. Short-Term Memory; the 88 debate; and Jew, Not a Jew.

 

... but I do know this.

 

That's a great story, tone

 

How many pages before the ol' Colonel gets some love?

 

SNL wishes it had something so funny.

 

Thanks, CI. Those were great times. Oh, to be young again.

 

This thread is incomplete without a Buck Henry sketch. STUNT BABY!!!

 

Tom Hanks hosting Sabra Price is Right.

 

One of my favorites -- both times it ran -- was the Dysfunctional Family.

Ferrell as husband, Gasteyer as wife. The daughter was Sarah Michelle Gellar the first time; the second time, it was Poehler as the daughter and Gwyneth Paltrow as her friend.

"I ... I ... I ... drive a DODGE STRATUS!!"

And Paltrow punctuating a point near the end of that one by singing in a falsetto: "BEE-OTTTCCCH!!"




... and, of course, Dick In A Box.
