One of the (many, many) problems with the sketch was that it's impossible to parody something that's already a parody. There was nothing there that wouldn't have seemed out of place on the real show.
I think a much more promising approach would have been to have the guy desperate to be a part of the wackiness but have everything turn serious and tragic. Of course, Bargatze's (and if I misspelled that, I have no interest in looking him up) idea of cutting-edge humor is that monologue with the obviously canned laughter and a re-hash of the Washington sketch, which was already something Carlin would have rejected as being too hacky in 1968. --Dave Sikula On Monday, October 7, 2024 at 5:29:12 PM UTC-7 Bob Jersey wrote: > ...Marcello Hernández' sendup of him and "Sabado Gigante" on this past > weekend's "SNL"... > > https://deadline.com/2024/10/don-francisco-marcello-hernandez-sabado-gigante-spoof-snl-1236108710/ > (link) > B > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
