SNL Throwback Of The Week #8, 4/3/2010

I am a huge Saturday Night Live fan. One of my earliest memories was of my parents watching SNL every Saturday while we were tucked in our bedrooms, and sometimes being allowed to watch for a bit. The show has gone through its ups and downs over its 35 year run, but the fact that it is still on the air after 35 years is a testament to the staying power of the show. Lorne Michaels is a genius at finding and developing young, comedic talent. SNL has produced a bevy of stars over the years, from Eddie Murphy to Tina Fey. The show is doing well again thanks to Ms. Fey and the rest of the team, but I love watching clips from the old shows. Every Saturday I will give you guys one of my favorites. This weeks clip features Dana Carvey and Adam Sandler as waiters in a Italian restaurant. Carvey is training Sandler to be a "Pepper Boy"... apparently, Pepper Boys at this restaurant require a bit of risque behavior. Sandler is a newbie having a hard time getting this part of the job down. Look for some great cameos by Jeanine Garofalo and Chris Elliot, and any skit that includes Chris Farley is aces in my book. Hope you guys enjoy the clip. Live from my living room, it's Saturday Night!!!
