The Author is an idiot, he missed two of the best ever.

Eddie Murphy does James Brown, It's Hot...In the Hot Tub!

And of course, when Steve Martin did King Tut.

Actually, John first did Cocker in Season 1, episode 3, hosted by Rob Reiner. He then repeated it in the next season with Cocker.

IMHO, the first time he did it probably saved the show from being cancelled.

Loved when Belushi did the old Slim Harpo tune “King Bee” dressed in a bee costume.

He missed Will Ferrell making of a fool out of Robert Goulet, TWICE - Red Ships of Spain and Robert Goulet Raps.

Have you seen the two SNL documentaries? They were fascinating.

Apparently there was always a fear of being canceled till the later years.

While not a John McCain fan, I still love the sketch with McCain doing Streisand songs.

They also forgot the Joe Piscopo doing Frank Sinatra skits.

If you rent the Season 1 box set, you’ll see that the first five or six shows were really awful. The second episode should have been called the Paul Simon special because there were little or no skits.

Speaking of real music. They could make a heck of a show just showing all the great bands they had on. Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, The Band...just to list a few.

On the otherhand, who they’ve put on in the past 10 years have pretty much been crap.

Joe Piscopo (as Frank Sinatra) and Eddie Murphy (as Stevie Wonder) singing “Ebony and Ivory.” Hilarious stuff. I’ll try to find a link.

Wonder: I am black and you are white.

Sinatra: You are blind as a bat and I have sight...

My personal favorite of all time. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes when I saw it live.

That was great. I loved Tthem.

It reminds me of, for some dumb reason, when Tonto, Tarzan & Frankenstein sang Christmas Carols. LOL!

I agree. The Hottub song was hilarious, and well-played by Murphy.

And the King Tut song was a classic.
