| I'm pissing myself over here! SNL news skit. watch 48. "Gerald Ford Dead at 83," Saturday Night Live, 1996 Yes, he's actually dead now, but that doesn't mean this can't still be funny. Dana Carvey impersonates Tom Brokaw pre-taping the announcement of former president Gerald Ford's death so he can go to Barbados for the winter. You know, just in case. Gerald Ford overdoses on crack cocaine, Gerald Ford eaten by a circus lion, Gerald Ford strangled by Richard Nixon — in classic SNL formula, the scene unhurriedly escalates until Carvey is forced to insist, in Brokaw's pitch-perfect arid tone, "Well, that's just superfluous." — Will Doig The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches of All Time - Nerve.com (direct link to .mov movie) | ||||

| I watched Chevy Chase do Ford live on SNL in the 70's! It was not a school night!  I also remember this sketch, and a good one!
