Subject: Who can make us laugh? The Candy Man can. . .
John Candy was phenomenal, yes, but he never was a regular cast member of SNL. Candy was a big (pardon the pun) part of Second City Television, which starred Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis and others. I want to say Harold Ramis was a part of that crew, too. Ramis and Candy had recurring roles as the Schmenge Brothers. SCTV is where Bob and Doug McKenzie ("Strange Brew") got their start, as well as Martin Short's goofy alter-ego Ed Grimley.
Shoot, now I gotta Google SCTV.
(Edit: OOPS! Not Ramis. Eugene Levy. Also, Shmenge, not Schmenge)

It spits out the worst Junior Brown impersonator ever! The studio audience of Austin City Limits were not pleased, and pelted the poor man with, you guessed it, watermelons.
Don't Mess With Texas, y'all. Mr. Mandel needs to stick to blowing up rubber gloves pulled over his head.

It spits out Lloyd Bridges from "Airplane" who can't look at himself because he picked a bad day to quit doing mushrooms. Let's face it, that guy had serious substance abuse issues. And he was in charge of people whose job it was to safely land aircraft?? Must have been after Reagan fired the air traffic controllers.

The Addle-Pated Djinn merrily sends you on an all expense paid trip to the dark side of the moon. There are no weapons, no indigenous life-forms, no dangerous weather formations, no people, no internet or cell phone service, no one to give you poor customer service, no technology outside your 25th century enviro-suit, no politicians, no door-to-door salespeople, no religious zealots, no traffic, no crappy instrumental versions of yesterday's hits, no movies directed by Uwe Boll, no Justin Bieber, no Chris Hansen and "To Catch a Predator," no flowers to aggravate your allergies, no sun to blind you or burn your skin, no government, no taxes.
Just take in all the peaceful nothing around you, get into the Lotus Pose and find your center and relax--until your oxygen runs out.
I wish for the "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip to return.

Subject: Remembrances of Comedy Past
I really miss Jon Lovitz on Saturday Night Live. Who could forget "Master Thespian" (Brilliant!) or The Liar (Yeah, that's the ticket!) or his portrayal of The Devil (they even had a sketch where Lovitz, as Satan, appeared as a plaintiff on The People's Court)? And then there was a series of sketches where Jon and another person fancied themselves pick-up artists but had only abysmal luck with women. Tom Hanks paired with Jon in at least one of those.
Who else do I miss? Phil Hartman, of course. His impersonations of Phil Donahue and Frank Sinatra were simply genius.
Then there's Chris Farley. Obviously inspired by another SNL great, John Belushi, Farley's physical comedy was unparalleled I think even to this day. I had such high hopes when he teamed up with David Spade in the movies they did. Like Belushi and Hartman, Farley passed much too soon.
I miss the entire casts from 1975 through the late 80's. I don't watch much of the current lineup, though. I'd rather watch my dvd's of In Living Color (not to damn with faint praise; that was a terrific show in its own right).

Subject: This. Is. Jeopardy?
It spits out the funniest episode of Jeopardy ever!! Alex was up on the podium, slurring his words, stumbling about comically. Oh, and did I mention it was Celebrity Jeopardy, with Sean Connery, Keanu Reeves, and Jeri Ryan (she played Seven of Nine on ST:Voyager). Those three were so embarrassed for him. The show's judges gave each of their charities $1,000,000 out of pity.
