SNL Fires Two Big Cast Members...Chris Parnell and Haratio Sanz
- Thread starter radiohost
- Start date
Aw, now you've got me all nostalgic.
That was the cast I grew up on and still my favorite. Who can argue with the genius of Wayne's World, Lyle the effeminate heterosexual, Chris Farley as a motivational speaker and the retentive "insert occupation here".
SNL has always seemed to work in cycles. It will stink for a few years, then a few members will start to write good material and it will start to be funny again for a few years. After that the better members of the cast start to get movie deals and they move on and "bam!" we are back to crap again for a few years.

Parnell was fired once before, and Will Farrell got him brought back on the show. So im not really surprised. Im more sad at the loss of Fey and Dratch. Though can't wait till 30 rock starts

Sigh.
Belushi. Aykroyd. Gilda. Steve Martin. Bill Murray. Those guys were the best ever.
They should've killed off SNL a long, long, long time ago.
Sometimes even better than SNL was SCTV.
Hey, Erika, you probably saw Kevin Dorff, as well. He was in the same cast as Weir. That guy was my favorite. He's been a writer for Conan O'Brien since 1999.
Second City has gone downhill, too. Since that's sort of a farm system for SNL, it's no wonder SNL stinks.
I was embarrassed the last time I took somebody from out of town to see a Second City show. Lots of recycled 60s political jokes. Just replace "Nixon" with "Bush."

WOW!! You ARE showing your age!
I can say this, of course, because SCTV was amazing.
To this day, parts of it are still in our daily conversations

Ah...memories.
Too bad the DVDs are sooo expensive, or I'd have them all.

In the past few years, I've been watching a lot more of that than SNL, due to most reasons already highlighted here.
P.S. I rather like the theory of telling a person's age by which point they found SNL unfunny.

I guess I shouldn't say how much I loved the Chevy Chase years then. :lookaroun

Yes!! SCTV is my all-time favorite sketch comedy show. I loved Count Floyd's 3D House of ... . He was always trying to hopelessly sell the fright factor - *shuddering* "Scary" - then give up.
Big Jim McBob & Billy Saul Hurok
Guy Caballero (heh)
Tex & Edna's Organ Emporium "So come on down"
Bill Needle, film critic.
Take off, eh!

I always think of the one where John Candy demonstrated 3-D by moving back and forth to and from the camera. "How 'bout those 1940s babes? Woo!" :lol:

That was the best thing to come out of SNL since Will Ferrell left the show.

Oh, don't worry. I loved watching those on reruns. :lol:
Favourite "old" sketches: Larry the Lobster, "Bag O' Glass", and anything with the public radio girls. :sohappy:
