To be fair snl didn't have as much of a political agenda in those days. Entertainment and news media in the 90s wasn't as biased as it is now days. Pretty sad really... I'll agree with you though politicians can't take a joke now days.

He made his entrance and the house filled with politicians stood up applauding, such power and attraction of funnyman, Chris Farley, sorely missed legend.
We need these kinds of roasts in Congress today.. they need to remember they work for us and are subject to our scrutiny, especially in comedic form in front of their colleagues. Chris hit it right on the head!
God I wish someone with more tech skills than me could blast this out everywhere before Election Day . For three reasons...1 Democrats Are weird, 2 everyone deserves a laugh , 3 Chris Farley was Amazing RIP 🤟🏼
+drew rice Really? That was the beginning of the Nasty Politics. Newt Gingriich and that Congress destroyed democracy and politics. Newt Gingrich is a nasty piece of work. He introduced partisan politics to Washington DC.
"He introduced partisan politics to Washington DC" might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen in the RUclips comments section, and that's saying something. Partisanship has been around forever. Go back to 1850 and tell me partisanship didn't exist.
rideordie If you did not understand what the comment was about, then it is your problem. Partisanship is a natural instinct of every human being because it resembles tribalism. But, New Gingrich is a nasty piece of conservative shit who based EVERY and I mean EVERY piece of policy on partisanship. Nothing he did was based on how good it is for the country, EVERYTHING he did was based on partisanship. If you care, read about how Washington became dysfunctional after Newt Gingrich era and never recovered from what this nasty little man did to the atmosphere of politics in Washington.

God Bless You, Chris Farley for reminding us how this country used to have a unified sense of humor about its own political system! Thanks for always lightening our hearts even while yours was breaking. Man, could we use your laughs these days 🇵🇷🌎😉
Exactly. I've been saying this for a while now. I have work colleagues that would come in and be all pissed off when any comedian would say any jokes about Trump. I'd look at them and say "When have comedians not made fun of politicians?"
Second to none!!! In a perfect world Chris would be the speaker of the house and a legislator. This country would be so much better. God takes all the good ones 😊 Keep him laughing Chris.
this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on youtube. All those politicians who you rarely see smile, and every last one of them is ecstatic here. People truly loved him.
This takes me back to high school and day dreams of being Mrs Farley. Seeing his energy and hearing that amazingly innocent and joyful laugh ... ugh, my heart breaks all over again. Keep your rock stars, Hollywood heartthrobs, and athletic icons -- I claim Chris Farley as my one and only silly, doodle-on-my-notebook, teenage crush. Saturday nights have never been the same.
Norm McDonald said that in order to do a funny/good impression of someone you need to like that person because people like themselves. That is why he doesnt like SNL impressions of Donald Trump. Pretty smart way to say that SNL should stop being so damn political and start being funny imo haha
Chris was the greatest. Such a great guy too. I couldn't believe what I heard that sad December day. Just like with Belushi, Hartman, Kinison, ect., I remember exactly where I was/was doing each time I heard that headline that you never want to hear. "I've Got You Newt". LOL Classic. : ) Thanks for post.
Their needs to be more of this!! Last time some good humor and it was with good ol’ Chris! He was actually really good here! Lighten up congress people, you really aren’t that important as you think you are!

This is what made America great before the turn of the century, government was light hearted and in touch with the people. I don’t know what the fuck we have going on now. If this were today they would have called it racist and launched an investigation.

Farley, he is missed so damn much. Who knows what he could have done. Cant wait to meet him one day.

Imagine him as rob ford...
Amen to that

Life before Wuhan Flu
One of the greatest comedy actors ever with a genuine fondness for Newt.
You could see the respect and admiration that Mr. Farley had for Mr. Gingrich. Class act.
It's amazing how flawless his acts are. His performance is a real work of art.
It's so cool to see Sonny Bono laughing with Farley. Hopefully Farley is giving him lots of laughs in Heaven. RIP to both you fine gentlemen.

Chris was coked up for this bit. Just as the founders intended.
Cocaine in DC? Why I never...
“Motion to make Sonny Bono come up here & sing I’ve Got You Newt.” AWESOME! Who knew Gingrich had a sense of humor.
Holy crap, Boehner looks like a school boy.
Before all that booze and Freedom Caucus-induced stress took its toll

Before he sold his soul to the Orange One

God he's so good on his feet. He kept the comedy going even after the skit was done. R.I.P Chris!

lol I forgot Sunny Bono was a congressman

Yea he’s dead lol
I love the standing ovation they gave to him. Very rarely do comedians get that kind of excitement.
Classic, we need more of this today
It's really neat to see the house all smiling and having fun. :O)
The good old days when politicians used to be able to laugh at themselves.
Exactly. I've been saying this for a while now. I have work colleagues that would come in and be all pissed off when any comedian would say any jokes about Trump. I'd look at them and say "When have comedians not made fun of politicians?"
Oh man I started cracking up just with him walking in!
This was actual comedy unlike SNL and night show hosts these days.
I love how Chris Farley was calling Newt Gingrich sir at the end, that was class and respect on Chris' part
Damn, i miss Farley. Gingrich at least was able to laugh at himself.
Goddamn same here one of the best in SNL and his movies are funny af. You are missed Chris.
Chris Farley still giving us laughter and hope.
Probably the only entertaining thing that ever happened on C-Span.
R.I.P. Farley!
The prank calls were pretty funny
Well, that and Congressman James Traficant's (also R.I.P.) irreverent and amusing speeches.
"Mom, stop talking to Connie Chung!"
Someone needs to upload that skit on RUclips.
Lol someone in congress saw this in 2013 and just decided to handle things like this from now on.
My hero -- Chris Farley.
Second to none!!! In a perfect world Chris would be the speaker of the house and a legislator. This country would be so much better. God takes all the good ones 😊 Keep him laughing Chris.
The man simply brought joy.............

how the hell have i never heard about this
Right hahaha
This is awesome! I love the gusto with which he bangs the gavel. The added bonus of the Sonny Bono cameo (duet reference) is pretty good too.
awwww Sunny Bono was there...
9:05 "now give them a quick pep talk and let's get the hell outta here" haha
One of Chris’ best!!!! RIP Chris you are missed. 🙏🏻
God I miss this big lug.
Great video! I never realized that Newt had such a great sense of humor! Certainly raises him up a bit in my eyes.
The only C-Span moment that wasn't boring!
Aw come on C-span has some of the best moments.... they just have a compulsion to include everyone in town

he has such a troll laugh but i love it
Life's a shame, we're not here long enough. R.I.P. Chris Farley.
we were so much less divided back then. it's strange to see things be so light hearted. Ironically newt would be the beginning of the end of that era.
truly sad isnt it. :(
All being orchestrated by puppet masters
Ah, those were the days!
Its so nice and puts a smile on my face seeing everyone laugh and smile at Chris' work.
Back when SNL was UN-BIASED!!!
you mean when americans weren't gullible and brainwashed.
@@patriciacannon7908 two sides of a coin buddy, look at it anyway you want...
he united Congress! what a man..
The world would be much better if he was still in it

Farley rules!
this is back when republicans and democrats were totally indistinguishable from one-another.

7:10 Chris Farley as Newt Gingrich: How's our wife Mary Ann? The timing with the unexpected question is comedy gold, imo.
This is great!! I looked for this, I remember when this took place! Very funny!!!
So refreshing, political humor without being cruel! Love and miss Chris!

Chris Farley was and is a national treasure.
I don't remember ever seeing this. I was just browsing, looking for some "Da Bears" clips, and saw this. THIS IS CLASSIC, my friends.
R.I.P. Chris.
Love the Bono Line and then his reaction 🤣🤣🤣
They should do things like this more often. I'd watch C-SPAN
The last decade in which America had a sense of humor.
Chris Farley is a really a fun guy. Gone but not forgotten.
Those days are long gone.
"I promise not to kill Big Bird"
Damn it, Newt, you should have put a time limit on that one!
his espn 2 joke is the most subtle joke ive ever heard
"I hope I didn't wreck your podium". What a doll. lol
Farley and newt two awesome dudes
I saw a clip of this as a kid on 100 Funniest Videos of the 20th Century, it makes more sense now
It's interesting how hilarious they thought throwing away term limits was. Lol
