Even though I'm a self professed SNL expert, there is something I would like to know. There's a skit with these two guys, and they usually add a third person who is the show's host where these guys go to the discos and hit on chicks. They also play this song that goes "What is love? Baby don't hurt me... baby don't hurt me... no more..." What is this song and who sings it? The disco guys also being known as the Roxbury guys. And why are they called the Roxbury guys. I'll dig for the answer myself and see who comes up with the answer first.

Found the answer on a net search: What Is Love By: Haddaway Source: A Net Search What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love Yeah Oh I don't know why you're not fair I give you my love but you don't care So what is right and what is wrong gimme a sign What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more uoh oh... Oh I don't know what can I do what else can I say it's up to you I know we're one just me and you I can't go on What is love ?... Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more uoh oh.. What is love What is love What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more Don't hurt me Don't hurt me I want no other No other love This is your life our time When we are together I need you forever Is it love What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more uoh oh..

Overheard from almanac@well.com: Well, Debbie Matenopoulos has got to win some kind of Good Sport of the Year award, at the very least... Three days after her canning from "The View" was announced (with Barbara Walters, who did the firing, doing the old "Debbie is leaving to pursue other interests" euphemisms), Matenopoulos showed up to portray herself in one of SNL's recurring series of sketches lampooning her former show (in the past, she has been rather savagely portrayed as a perky idiot in these sketches, by Cameron Diaz, Sarah Michelle Gellar and, most memorably, Claire Danes). She did a pretty fine bit of self-parody in the sketch, too. Darn It! I missed this show.

There was an awesome SNL 25th year anniversery live show last night, the clips from old shows really captured the essence of SNL through the decades, and all the major cast members from every era showed up last night. Folks you haven't seen for a while like Laraine Newman and Nora Dunn. Billy Crystal was on a big roll with his roast of audence members. The lost sketch tribute to Phil Hartman was incredible. It was touching with Jan Hooks (http://www.janhooks.com) singing a tender farewell to Phil. I made a tape and it's now the best tape Ihave in my huge collection of tapes.

*sigh* somedays I rethink this no television business...

You can catch some of the comedy sketches via Realvideo at http://www.snl25.com It's a site they put together just for this show.

Woo Woo! ,

Also check outt he Spring's main page video right now.

Chevy Chase (in costume): (knock knock) "Candygram" Jane Curtin: "I don't believe you." Chase: "Flowers." Curtin: "I didn't order flowers. Who are you?" Chase: "Land Shark." Curtin: "I don't believe you'd be that obvious." (opens door and gets devoured by the land shark...)

Then there the ohter one. Land Shark: "I'm not a shark, I'm just a porpoise." Well, ok then.

Great bit...hard to believe that Chase was only on one season (17 shows). Lorne Michaels guessed "about 40" when reporters asked him (trick) question.

I thought the tribute to Phil Hartman, the lost sketch with Jan Hooks, was very touching. I was getting a little choked up myself! It was, however, the only time that I stopped laughing!

It was touching that they showed that wonderful "Life is a Dream" black and white Schiller film with Hartman and Jan Hooks. Hartman genius was cut off from us by tragedy. There are lots of critics blasting this show and telling us how lame it is, but look at all the comedic genius that springs from it. Belluchi, Bill Murray, Dana Carvey, Dan Akroid, the list is huge. And it's still trucking after 25 years, gee, how many shows have they done. If they do 40 a year that's a thousand epissodes, and at ten sketches to a show, say, that's about 10,000 comedy sketches.

I think it was Eugene O'Neill (I could be wrong) who said, "Critics are like eunuchs. They know how it's done. They've seen it done before. But they can't do it themselves."

Both new SNL's this season have been stellar, especially the show with Heather Graham. The opening skit where various cast members were taking her aside to overcome her "nervousness" was classic. And the Airplane skit with her envied the sexual exploits of the couple across the aisle was great. The Hans and Franz Where Are They Now? bit was side splitting. And the threesome skit with Heather was fine. Of course, how can a show miss with Heather Graham? (maybe her name has an e on the end?)

I only saw a little bit of the Halloween show last night, but the "Goth Talk" skit was the best! That's always been one of my favorites!

Goth Talk is Chris Kattan and Molly Shannon is a crack up. They're doing their Goth public access show from their garage. And their bubba brothers keeps busting their bubble. They made him say "weis" .. you know the Bud weis er bit with the lizards. They really bully the little Goth kids while they try to do their show. That was an oldies show.

I like it because I used to be an aspiring Goth girl...now I'm studying Gothic literature in graduate school!

oops, slipped. Amy you *are* a goth girl! What is that like?

Well, when I was in junior high, it was cool to wear all black clothing, tons of black eye makeup (I still wear too much,) combat boots, and that kind of stuff. We listened to really strange music, avoided popular people, and gave ourselves pseudonyms (mine was Byron, who I am consequently going to write my thesis about!)

What's the character on SNL's name, Azrael or something like that?

Yup. And the girl is something Nightshade. The guy they threw in the pool was Baron Nocturnal.

Wow, did Irishprincess slide away. Who was that masked woamn? The Heather Graham hosted SNL *still* stands out head and shoulders above all other shows this season, and they wisely re-ran it a couple of Saturdays ago.

Irishprincess communes with me on email when she has the time away from her thesis and graduate assistant teaching responsibilities. I shall tell her you miss her. You are not alone!
