    Eugene Levy's Bobby Bittman's jaded character wearing a buttoned down lounge suit with dangling gold chains and chain smoking at a formal congressional hearing. Classic!

    Great to see Lola sober enough to stand upright and actually sing a song. And great to see Bobby Bittman make a surprise appearance as well. Mother Theresa ain't no slouch either. Another great Sammy Maudlin show!

    SCTV was by far the funniest smartest show on TV. The take off on the 70,s talk shows is spot on. Polyester clad phonies overacting. I'm old enough to remember, that's kinda how it really was. SCTV never got the props it deserved.

      Maybe because their satire was so professional and spot-on it hit too close to home for the thin-skinned Hollywood crowd, in much the same way as Ricky Gervais today.

      @BushcraftingBogan 4 года назад +5

      I remember that too. Even as a kid I knew a washed up lounge act when I saw one. They always did songs that appealed to my grandparents but even in the mid to late 70s were out dated by decades. I use to think the same about the Jerry Lewis Telethon. I was always wondering where they dug up these vaudeville ghosts of a long gone era.

It wasn't look how dumb america is, Joe Flarhety was from Pittsburg PA. You probably don't get any of the jokes at all just because you weren't alive when what they were satirizing was part of both Canadian and American Culture.

They slap up a video of their dog vomiting, their baby taking a poop in a diaper, their aged mother expiring in the middle of a meal, and they get millions of viewers, hundreds of thousands of followers - really just gawkers looking to get a cheap thrill from exploitation. It's refreshing to see some real talent, dare I say legendary talent, grace the algorithm and screen with their presence. Real entertainment, not what passes for it today. That gives me hope for the future - the next generation of Maudlins and Heatheringtons, and Bitmans. They're out there watching! This inspires that next generation!

    a friend of mine says this skit (The Sammy Maudlin Show) was a take on a short lived late 60's early 70's talk show with Sammy Davis as the host. He had all his rat pack friends as guests, "surprise visits", over emotional scenes, and saying all this great stuff about each other.
    If not, this definitely reminds me of other goofy talk shows from the 70's, Jerry Lewis Telethon. The word Maudlin means overly sentimental, trifling, silly. The name fits the theory: Sammy Maudlin Show, lol.

      James Tussey Sammy Davis' side kick was William B Williams lending more evidence it was loosely based on the Sammy and Company talk show.
