Piscopo also manages to upstage Rocket during his next joke (Reagan in "The Al Jolson Story") by having the ball hop across Rocket's side of the set as he tells the joke.Īs much as Piscopo steals Rocket's thunder, Eddie Murphy walks away with the whole Weekend Update. They react pretty enthusiastically when he brings out the toy bowling game with the wind-up bowling ball, and there's a good ad-lib about getting two chances when the ball hops off the game. Joe Piscopo is now completely into his Saturday Night News character, and the audience is quite glad to see him this time. The audience gives a scattered applause when New York is mentioned in the murder map.
CHARLES ROCKET MOVIE APPEARENCES UPDATE
A little different from his previous Weekend Update characters, and while a decent idea, it was fairly forgettable. Gilbert Gottfried as morning show weatherman-like Marv Peters gives the crime forecast. Rocket's delivery is more exaggeratedly pronounced by this point as well. She also reacts in a similar manner to Colin Quinn when a joke dies, usually just making a comment. This pays mixed dividends: while being able to switch between anchors gives the segment an added energy, Matthius seems almost apologetic for some of the weaker jokes and has a few stumbles, fumbling through her notes right after returning to her chair following Piscopo's segment. This is the debut of the show's return to a dual-anchor format, with Charles Rocket joined by Gail Matthius. Swen Gazzarra (Gilbert Gottfried) bemoans the lack of pride people take in their work and that people resent doing "hum jobs".īest jokes: Instant justice, Martina Navratilova/John McEnroe. I have to give Sharkey and the band credit for the song (the extra half-star), but overall, the sketch really did not work.ĬOMMERCIAL: CITIZENS FOR A BETTER AMERICAĭissatisfied with a shoddy enema, Dr. I don't know if Blaustein and Sheffield wrote the whole thing or just the song: it actually feels a little like they combined a separate sketch idea with a Vickie and Debbie sketch. The other band members are Tom Malone (bass), Elliott Randall (guitar solo) and Buddy Williams (drums). The latter two are actually in Tommy Torture's band, on guitar and keyboards, respectively. Tommy Torture's song was co-written by Barry Blaustein, David Sheffield, Kenny Vance and Chris Palmaro. Sharkey's slurry voice reminds me a little of Mike Myers' Ron Wood. When Matthius and Dillon do their "Another One Bites The Dust" to no reaction from the audience, it is a little chilling.
The audience is completely silent for the first few minutes, although I thought I detected a small reaction to the "urinating into a saxophone" line.
