Absolutely that one moment (4:27) where Carrey imitates Jimmy Stewart imitating himself is transcendent and if there is a comedy hall of fame should be first in
Also to take it further - Mark McKinney playing Jim Carrey imitating Jimmy Stewart, who is next to Jim Carrey imitating Jimmy Stewart who then imitates Jim Carrey. And Jim Breuer's amazing Joe Pesci to top it off.
This is brilliant! Each of them were phenomenal and never broke character! How does Jim Carrey see someone imitate him while he is in character and not laugh??

This is considered one of the Top 5 moments of SNL of all time, Jim Carrey portraying Jimmy Stewart impersonating Jim Carrey, back then this was talked about for weeks after it aired and it sent SNL back to the top after a couple very sub par years
I was around when SNL launched in 1975. Over the years it has waned and resurged but it has been in steady decline for many, many years. Sad really. It's all political BS for many years now. This sketch is definitely one of the best ever.
Haha, because the original cast portraying Gerald Ford as a bumbling idiot wasn't political at all. Anyway, yeah, this was a real turning point for SNL--getting Jim Carrey, probably the biggest movie star around at the time, to host was a major coup and a sign that the show was "back."
I lost it when Jim blocked the bat and took it from him. The exaggerated elderly motions were just golden. I search RUclips for old SNL sketches just like this one.
This was surprisingly a great sketch. It continued to get funnier the longer it went on. I was roaring when he started knocking out Joe pesci "...everytime a guido sings, an angel gets its wings." Mark Mckinney's Jim Carrey impression was amazing, his voice sounds just like Jim's speaking voice.
McKinney was poorly used at SNL. His years at Kids in the hall were very ground breaking...but it was more sketch and less impersonation. He pulled it off well.
Imagine explaining this to someone who didn't know who Jim Carey is. "So that old guy there, pretending to be Jim Carey is actually Jim Carey, and that other guy there, yeah, he's not Jim Carey, he's just impersonating Jim Carey while he impersonates the old guy that Jim Carey is impersonating. What? Yeah, no no no, that butt grabbing thing is something Jim Carey really did do, No no, not *that* Jim Carey, the old guy, Jim Carey. Huh? No, no he's playing a character."
The whole episode where Jim Carrey hosted SNL the first time is classic! It certainly showed what a mistake SNL made rejecting Jim Carrey as a cast member . . . twice.
Here's one of the greatest missed opportunities of all time: Jim Carrey, John Goodman, AND Paul Reubens auditioned for the season 6 cast of Saturday Night Live, but Jean Doumanian rejected them. Can you imagine those three with Eddie Murphy in the cast of season 6?
I didn't know that until now. As many super talented actors as SNL had over the years, I believe Jim Carrey might well have been the funniest of all. Cheers

There were a few gems that we missed but we did get quite a few great funny episodes on tape. Unfortunately I can't watch them now because my VCR is broken. =( I'm now downloading a few of these great Joe Pesci SNL episodes and a few other funny ones here on my computer before RUclips takes it down one day. Heh heh. =)
From the very beginning the New York audience was dead from the neck up. Some of the funniest sketches ever shown on TV were greeted with total silence. I never knew if they were blasted out of their minds or just stupid.
Most of the people in that audience didn't know who Jimmy Stewart was, let alone knowing that he was dead. Hence, the muted reaction tho a very funny line.
This was the best SNL episode I've ever seen, because Jim Carrey put everything into each skit, making even otherwise lame skits hilarious. The episode didn't run out of steam towards the end like most SNL episodes do.
Just started viewing the Joe Pesci Show. This guy is hilarious! Jim Carrey had me cracking up the whole time with his antics. So funny seeing two Jim Carreys on stage. Definitely a top 10 SNL skit. Will be scrolling through all Joe Pesci shows!!
Excellent choice! You'll prob run into the same problem I had, namely that one of the sketches isn't on RUclips and you'll have to find alternative ways to acquire said sketch. Helping hand: it's the one with Phil Hartman.
True, and John Ford never let him forget it. John Ford gave John Wayne so much shit about it on the set of "The man shot liberty valance" that even Jimmy Stewart threatened to quit if Ford didn't stop harrasing John Wayne.

I don't care if you like John Wayne but don't lie. That says a lot about your character when you feel like you have to lie or spread lies to win an argument.
Mark McKinney trying to be over the top and still missing about 90% of Jim Carrey energy shows you how Carrey is an absolute power house. His elderly character oozes more energy than the impression of his young self.
Does not get any better than this! That's why Carrey is so awesome! Stewart kicks ass I love it! And Brewer never got his just due on this so underrated! Spot-on Pesci!
I thought I was going to pee or choke laughing...my brain couldn't decide which to do first, so I wound up clamping my hand on both ends, hoping for a miracle! 😀
I watched this one live and I think it just keeps getting better. The double-back impersonation was and is a brilliant bit and took the courage that is comedic gold with Carrey saying, "I'll do anything for a laugh."
I think Jim Carrey noticed the wire was beginning to stick out of the foam bat prop, and very casually turned it away from view and pushed the wire back in, without missing a beat in his dialogue, right before he was about to hit the camera with it. That's some impressive multi-tasking.
The writers and actors really knocked it out of the park with this one. The impersonations were spot on and the it's a wonderful life references were brilliant. SNL really set the bar high with this skit, one of their best ever.
just found the answer to a mad year. A totally sane US comedy show of the highest order; and I grew up on Jimmy S.Thank you so much for the spiritual uplift. " Life is but a tale of sound and Carrey"
Hilarious sketch & one of the greatest SNL episodes ever. Jim Carrey's 1st time hosting back in 96. My favorite sketch from that episode was the "Night at the roxbury" club hopping sketch with Will Farrel & Chris Kattan lmao!
I remember it was a huge deal they got him to host because he was at his peak. And we couldn’t wait to see him do some sketch comedy again after In Living Color had ended.

Yet, as big fans of Jim Carrey, my brother, our friend Jonah, & myself, stayed by the TV, instead of taking shelter as was recommended, laughing our asses off at the scene...especially near the end.

Jesus that's amazing.
yup
Funny as hell
Screams instead of sings would have been better. I think Jim messed up there. Still funny though.
MY FAVORITE LINE IN THIS SKETCH!😂👏🏽
This is one of the absolute all time best SNL sketches. Jim Carrey doing Jimmy Stewart doing Jim Carrey. Unreal!
Inception level acting, like RDJ playing a white dude, playing a black dude as a white dude in tropic thunder.

This is Jim Carrey doing Jimmy Stewart showing Mark McKinney, who's doing Jim Carrey, how to make a Jim Carrey.
It's Jimcarreyception.
We have to go deeper.
Imagine explaining this to someone who didn't know who Jim Carey is.
"So that old guy there, pretending to be Jim Carey is actually Jim Carey, and that other guy there, yeah, he's not Jim Carey, he's just impersonating Jim Carey while he impersonates the old guy that Jim Carey is impersonating. What? Yeah, no no no, that butt grabbing thing is something Jim Carey really did do, No no, not *that* Jim Carey, the old guy, Jim Carey. Huh? No, no he's playing a character."
I got totally Carreyed away.
Joe is Jim. Jimmy is Jim. Jim is Mark. Jimmy Fallon is hilarious. Jim Belushi probably has 10 fingers and blinks.
And he just did it again with that Jeff Goldblum impression
Truly a rare, timeless, side splittingly hilarious bit. Everyone was spot on
I closed my eyes and was just listening , and his Jim Carrey voice was sooooo amazing as the Ace Ventura.
Not everyone.
Jim Carrey doing an impression of himself as someone else is all I needed to see.
Absolutely hilarious and funny
This was awesome funny stuff bigtime

He was the real Captain America if you look at his achievements, getting the funding, facilities etc. for pilot training and war propaganda value.
Major general**
“I have a poem!”
Hilarious.
I love how the baseball bat looks so obviously fake.
This alone should get Mr Jim Carrey an oscar.
He reminds me of old man Biff in Back to the Future part 2
So doc brown invented a time machine....
Jim is extraordinary
finally the best episodes in the history of the show.
I just hear Harry from Home Alone😂
Lol XD
Jim Carrey's forte is sketch comedy. He's brilliant at it.
6:27 that's a solid bump Jim takes over the deck, well done. This whole thing is really fantastic.
