    Wow. I saw this when it originally aired in 1987. Feeling old. Still remembered the sit-up question.

    'What's the grossest thing I ever ate?' 'You don't want to know.' I think about this often, haha - one of my favorite SNL skits!

      I looked up this skit expressly for this question! 😂 😂 Couldn’t remember the answer-which was awesome btw, the whole butterscotch/earwig/distracted by the football game thing-but the whole premise of there being a potential list of things I have unknowingly eaten in my life has bugged me ever since I first saw it all those years ago! And I’m really, REALLY glad I don’t know my own answer!!!!!🤣🤣

    I could watch several more hours of John asking questions.
    How many spiders actually crawled into my mouth when I was asleep?
    How many people peeked through my window to see me naked?
    How much urine did I produce?
    Was there anyone I ever knew who got eaten by an animal?
    What's the weirdest way someone has died?
    Why did Juliet dump me? She said it wasn't me, it was her, but it was me, wasn't it?

    5:05 they change the formula for Coke because of the war on drugs. The first time it was changed, was specifically because of the war on drugs, because cocaine was one of the drugs that drugs scheduling targeted So cocaine was swapped out for more caffeine-another extremely addictive stimulant drug..
    Willow has changed again when researchers found that that people preferred the sweeter taste of Pepsi . So call Paola reformulated its recipe to be sweeter. Loading it with more sugar in 1985

      probably making the " joke " about Bruce willis because they were in a movie called Blind date .John played a crazed ex of Bruce's date Kim Basinger.

      The reason he said that was because he and Bruce were starring in Blind Date together at the time. Kind of an in joke.

    My favorite part:
    “Why did they change the formula for Coke?“
    “No one knows.“
    That must be under things known only to God.
