In this 1988 Miller Lite commercial, Bob Uecker gives his unique take on Boston. He also runs into a big name.
Hard to imagine House Speaker John Boehner doing a similar commercial today. Even if you didn’t agree with his politics, Tip still was a great one.
You know you’ve reached a new level of celebrity when Saturday Night Live starts to goof on you. SNL locked in on ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Saturday.
Stephen A. had a favorable impression of Jay P’s impression. On his Twitter feed, he said:
Saturday Night Live spoofed me last night. And I got to admit: it was damn HILARIOUS! Loved it! Hysterical!!!
Then on SportsCenter, he said:
“It was hysterical…but I would never wear that shirt w/that tie.”
And one more from this morning:
“Loved it! It was Hilarious. Comical. Especially the looks/facial expressions. I’m still laughing!”
The skit didn’t appear on the actual show. It ran as a bonus on SNL’s site.
I think the bit killed. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pharoah’s Stephen A becomes a regular character on Weekend Update.
Next, I’m looking forward to SNL’s take on Skip Bayless.
For the latest edition of the Sunday Funnies, here’s the late, great Chris Farley playing Rudolph Guiliani’s obnoxious son on opening day in Yankee Stadium. Kelsey Grammer and Kevin Nealon are mere props in this SNL skit. It’s vintage Farley.
In the tradition of the Sunday comics, here’s the debut of the ShermanReport’s Sunday Funnies. Each week, I’ll feature a classic TV commercial featuring an athlete; a vintage Saturday Night Live skit with an athlete host; or perhaps a classic cartoon.
Today, we’ll kick off where it pretty much exploded for Michael Jordan with the early Nike ads featuring Mars Blackmon, aka Spike Lee.
