15. Film Beat was a film review sketch where Chris Elliott interviewed Jeff Daniels as himself about his movies. The only problem was, Elliott only focused on the scene from Dumb And Dumber where Jeff Daniels’s character Harry got stuck on the toilet during the date and shared the same clip over and over again while angering his guest in the process. These jokes came from a place of self-deprecation and didn’t feel like Jeff was expressing hidden envy though I’m sure some of the playful jealousy was real.
Work Excuses took place in an office where Tim Meadows played a character who was late to a meeting and came up with a crazy tale to explain his tardiness. Once the meeting ended and the group all went their separate ways Meadows confided to Mike Myers that he was actually lying. He then went on to compulsively lie to get out of even the slightest work conflicts that arise, even for things that weren’t an issue in the first place.
SNL: S20E04... HOST: DANA CARVEY... DATE: OCTOBER 22, 1994
Replacement Baseball was a parody of a Ken Burns-style documentary that showcased the pathetic lives of the baseball scabs that took to the field during the baseball strike that was still being arbitrated during the start of this season. This week, Molly Shannon dropped by as an English teacher to discuss the issues with the modern education system while miming her punctuation throughout her entire rant. Finally, Damon Wayans closed the show by thanking the audience and saying his goodnights.
We then got a segment of Deep Thoughts By Jack Handey where Jack shared advice to vampire children. This was followed by the parody, America's Funniest Hate Videos were, as the title suggests, Bob Saget shared a collection of some of the funniest videos from hate groups. Obnoxious Co-Worker was a sketch were David Spade went from being the office’s man of intrigue due to his mysteriously arrogant ways to being a complete obnoxious needy nerd after a one night stand with Courtney Cox after her first day on the job. The In Living Color sketch Men On Film then made its SNL debut where Damon Wayans’ character Blaine Edwards teamed up with Roger Ebert to review the latest round of films that were released to the theaters that year. At first, Roger seemed a bit uptight, and a tad homophobic until Blaine started to flirt which broke down every one of Ebert’s implied walls until it became closer to the original feel of Men On Film with two gay guys reviewing films.
Books
Hole then took to the stage to perform Doll Parts. Celebrity Memorabilia Auction was as the title suggests a sketch where two mafia type auctioned off a bunch of celebrity memorabilia that was clearly stolen based on the way that the items were introduced. Family Road Trip was a sketch where we saw the backseat point of view while Michael McKean drives with Janeane Garofalo in the passenger seat as the mom. Throughout the entire sketch, the two parents kept yelling at the kids to calm down while also seeing evidence of the utter chaos that was hinted at through all of the yelling.
This was followed by another Deep Thoughts By Jack Handey where Jack shared his theories on how cowboys would relieve their stress back in the cowboy days. We then got a fake ad for a new Aerosmith Album that made fun of the fact that all of Aerosmith songs sound the same in the years especially between 1990 and 1994. Luscious Jackson then returned to the stage to perform Here.
SNL: S20E20... HOST: DAVID DUCHOVNY... DATE: MAY 13, 1995
After a while of this yelling and screaming, John Travolta entered the scene as the boss to remind them that it’s only the small space was causing their problems and how they used to get along. We then got a flashback of their very first day where they only seemed to get along for the first second. Finally, the sketch ended with the two sharing a vast office space where they violently attack one another. We then got another installment of Coffee Talk where, once again, host, Linda Richman, does her Coffee Talk thing. In this installment, John Travolta played a drag queen who not only legally changed his name to Barbra Streisand but also genuinely thought she was his true identity which was disputed by Linda a couple of times, but for the most part it was the same routine.
Deion Sanders took to the music stage to perform Must Be The Money and the song It's On, back to back. Deion’s lip syncing was so extreme that he seemed caught off guard by the hard stop to both songs instead of them gradually ending like you would expect from a live performance. This week, Opera Man dropped by for another segment where he sang a tune inspired by the headlines making the news. After the goodnights, there was a quick parody of the final episode of the Newhart show where Newhart woke up to find that the entire night was just a dream.
SNL: S20E16... HOST: JOHN GOODMAN... DATE: MARCH 25, 1995
This time, the beer-loving Bears fans, donned their Bulls’ attire to wish the team luck during this year’s NBA Championship. This sketch was filled with special guests… well… George Wendt and eventually also Dan Aykroyd who brought back his sleazy toy salesman from back when he was on the cast. Then just when you thought that was it, Brian Dennehy dropped by to announce that with him, they’ve broken the world record for the most fat guys in a single sketch at the same time. 11. Dating In The Nineties was a talk show sketch hosted by Molly Shannon who had a panel of guests to discuss dating in the ‘90s decade. Paul Reiser played one of the guests to promote his real-life book about dating, and Molly Shannon misinterpreted one of his statements to mead that he had only had sex a handful of time.
Bob Newhart then officially opened the show with a monolog where he joked about this being his second time hosting the show and how the fact that it only took them fifteen years to invite him back made him feel like he must have done a good job. This led him into one of his stand-up routines where he portrayed a security guard working his first night at The Empire State Building which also happened to the night that King Kong made his famous climb. Tales Of Little Women was a parody of Little Women where Hyde Peirce and several castmates played prim and proper children who were preparing to ice skate on the pond.
To round out the news, Kevin Nealon dropped in to deliver a commentary on Medicare which was aimed at viewers with zero attention span and mainly used images of Pamela Anderson to hold these viewers’ attention. Next, we got a parody of Taxicab Confessions with a revolving cast of cab drivers who got hear a bunch of crazy confessions from several characters and then had to ask them to sign the release to air the ride as a segment. Even though these characters said the craziest things, not a single person thought twice when asked to sign the form.
This week, Ellen Cleghorne checked in via satellite as an O.J. Juror to admit that she hasn’t been playing all that much attention to the trial because the process is completely boring. George Clooney also got a quick segment to comment on the fact that the show Chicago Hope, which was ER’s competition, had the nerve to use leeches in one of their storylines by merely saying it was wrong.
We then got a parody of Larry King Live where Kevin Nealon played the old curmudgeon to interview “Marlon Brando” who was past the point of return in the eccentric stage of his life. Between “Brando’s” quirky ways and Larry’s unprepared interview style, this meeting of the minds turned out to be more of a ramble-fest than an interview that made any sense. We then got more parody CourtTV of the O.J. Trial that was still in its infancy phase at the time.
Finally, George Foreman closed the show by thanking the audience and saying his goodnights. Hole then returned to the stage to perform Violet. Finally, Alec Baldwin closed the show by thanking the audience and saying his goodnights. This was followed by another installment of Deep Thoughts By Jack Handey after a long hiatus where this time Jack share his thoughts on what makes a jellyfish look so beautiful.
SNL: S20E07... HOST: ROSEANNE... DATE: DECEMBER 3, 1994
Jay Mohr then played a Rookie Cop who couldn’t stomach seeing his first dead body, so he threw-up all over the crime scene. This triggered a run of cops vomiting for various reason. Some cops joined in from merely smelling Mohr’s vomit while some cops were legitimately sick, and others had reasons of their own. Things just got worse when a news reporter arrived which led to viewers puking along at home. Meanwhile, the best part of this sketch was when the timing of the puke was a little off and the fact that you could full-on see the hose running up everyone’s legs and down the sleeves of their shirts. Janeane Garofalo then stopped by as someone from the ACLU to defend Jeffery Dahmer’s rights to feel safe in prison following his death at the hands of one of his fellow inmates, while acting like he didn’t deserve this brand of karma.
