      The impression is, however Donahue is the complete opposite with regards to women’s oppression. But then again you have to do something to make it funny otherwise you’re just impersonating.

      It really is. In the early 90s, my girlfriend and I got practically yanked off the sidewalk when we were visiting NYC and into a Donahue taping. Phil Hartman (RIP) absolutely nails his impersonation here.

    This entire parody is brilliant and so very well written and delivered. None of it is “too much”. Being quite believable then when it starts to veer to absurd it pulls right back to a replication of the famous talk show then moves again to punchlines and character parodies and types. In the end it smoothly feels like you have just watched the Phil Donahue show. But you haven’t. You just watched some serious SNL cast talent back in the day.

    This whole cast made my childhood and teenage years better, loved watching SNL reruns featuring them, especially Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman. I also loved watching Phil in Newsradio and Jan in 3rd Rock From The Sun, they were so talented and deserved so much better than how their precious lives ended. I'm grateful i got to enjoy their talents and will never forget them, RIP.

    The men and women who worked with Phil Hartman on SNL had an apropos nickname for him: "The Glue," because, according to Mike Myers on 'Inside the Actor's Studio,' Phil held the show together. I've never read a bad word about Phil; he was one of those beloved celebrities like Al Yankovic or Fred Rogers. He was one of those people you'd save from his fate if you had a time machine. Miss you, Phil.

      As great as they were, I personally think that the best group was the original cast not only for their extreme talent but because they started something basically new and turned it into one of the things that historians and professors will be discussing for years to come.
      They've hit the wall and have been in decline for years, probably will never see a recovery, but when they were good...they were GOOD!

      I haven't watched with any regularity in YEARS, admittedly. But seeing more recent skits on youtube and looking at comments, it almost seems like some people think it's some sort of achievement to constantly break character. Part of the humor is acting this ridiculous while playing it straight. Phil Hartman was a master at totally absurd characters played completely straight.
