I was a big fan of the Dana Carvey-Jan Hooks-Phil Hartman era on Saturday Night Live. Hell, even Dennis Miller was funny before he became a raging monster loony wingnut.
Dana Carvey remains a brilliant impressionist but my favorite Carvey creation is the sarcastically pious Church Lady. Well, isn’t that special?
The Church Lady was back last Saturday to hector the Insult Comedian and Lucifer In The Flesh aka Tailgunner Ted. It’s an instant classic:
Dennis MIller was never funny: http://www.darrelplant.com/blog_item.php?ItemRef=281
I thought he was funny on Weekend Update. After that, nope.
I missed this since I don’t watch SNL anymore but obvs it was a huge shot in the arm for that tired show. Great sketch.
