Your Comedy Moment

From this past weekend's SNL, two great clips of Back to the Future screen tests.  Bill Hader and Jay Pharoah steal the sketch, but Jon Hamm doesn't do half bad for himself.  Make sure to watch the clips before they're taken down by NBC.






Plan is to have the last entry into the top ten on Tuesday. However, on a serious note, I will be attending my grandmother's funeral tomorrow so I'm not sure whether I'll have time to finalize the write-up.  She was a good woman who this blogger will miss a great deal.

Your Comedy Moment

I've recently decided that repeating television shows in the "Your Comedy Moment" feature isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world.  Having said that, I've been plowing through a few hard to find, classic SNL clips that I could remember to search for.  From May 1992, here's one of my favorite bits from a Tom Hanks hosted episode. 


One of the problems with the early 90s SNL was the need to fit such a large cast into the show. That tended to lead to a number of skits where the goal was to get as many cast members into the sketch as possible.  The "Sabra Price is Right" skit is an example of one of these extremely full sketches that works very, very well.  My favorite moment is probably what happens once Chris Rock arrives, but the whole thing is great.

Your Comedy Moment

Continuing the classics week for "Your Comedy Moment," here's one of the more memorable clips from the first season of Saturday Night Live.  Less than three minutes long, this sketch truly embodies all the strengths of early SNL.  Risky, racy, and uproariously funny this scene holds up more than thirty-five years after it was conceived. Great facial expressions from Pryor really throw it over the top.
