Humor break. Eddie Murphy as Little Richard "Simmons" on SNL from 1981.
Video, 4 minutes & 35 seconds
A little humor on a high-tension day.
Two more SNL classics:
Proud Dad - SNL (w/Robin Williams) 1988 (4 min/35 sec)

Back in the day when SNL was funny!
“You better start running, ‘cuz it’s much too late to jog.” Classic. SNL used to be funny.
Eddie Murphy is really talented. I’ve never gotten over the different roles he played in ‘Coming to America’, especially ‘Saul’ in the barber shop.
Thank you!
I have always cited this as my favorite SNL Show. It still is!
Sadly, a lot of people don’t know who Little Richard was. And, Richard Simmons has gone underground. Even Eddie Murphy is becoming rare to see!
Excellent.
“Taste the soup”. “Ah ha”
I like this one with Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy together!
Robin Williams does a pretty good William F. Buckley Jr. here.

“Unce. Bice. Fee tibes a maybe...” Someone brought up Joe Piscapo’s brilliant Sinatra the other day. I watched SNL’s campaign special last night and found it pretty good. Jim Carrey has been unfairly getting a lot of flack for his portrayal of Biden which is the libs having no sense of humor.
His Biden deviates by being far more animated while not a soul-less husk. Carrey’s a leftist nutcase for sure but perhaps our most gifted comedian now Robin Williams is gone. In these times where comedy itself is warred upon by self-appointed “social justice warriors” we need every hand on deck. Even tiresome Alec Baldwin.
I gave up on the SNL stuff around the turn of the century. The problem with Biden is that you can’t have someone else play him — he IS the joke and nutjob. Carrey is trying to make him look respectable, and he isn’t (I saw part of his skit with the way-too-young woman playing the Butcheress of Benghazi. It was almost like a real campaign ad).
As for that unfunny, fat f*ck Baldwin, he can go jump off a bridge. His career certainly did. From top box office star to hosting a game show with poor ratings ? Couldn’t happen to a nicer prick and Trump hater.
You live for and study this - how are you seeing this election?
I’ve put it in God’s Hands.
I remember that one! LOL.
I was in college when SNL was good. Parties would stop when it came on.
This on had women at one party really outraged until we figured out it was a joke. (Think Babylon Bee)
