"Stop… stop… Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot was terrible."

Don't step on the punchline there - just after he said that, Gilda Radner walked in the room.  It's like the X-rated episode of "I Love Lucy" that never was.

I'm guessing it's that and maybe some complicated royalty issues or something, because a lot of the cut sketches don't feature music.  For whatever reason, some of those edits are an utter travesty - the Netflix/Hulu version of the Shatner episode runs nineteen fucking minutes, and that includes "Weekend Update"…

RIP Tom Davis as well - that was one of the relative few sketches they collaborated on (they're the voices of two guys who come up with the scheme to the kill the lobsters by boiling them but end up getting bogged down in what they would serve for dessert - "A swimming pool full of Jell-O?" "How about a rum raisin…

And he came on again (with Joe in tow) on the last episode of 1999 to commemorate the end of the Joe Franken Decade and try to mark the beginning of "The Al Franken Millennium," only to have a now-teenage Joe complain that nobody cares and no one tunes in to see a stupid, pathetic old man come on and talk about a joke…

Funny thing is, Prager actually does turn up on SNL on several occasions as an extra (the earliest being a half-second-or-so appearance in the "Hey You!: The Perfume for One-Night Stands" ad parody) - she was close friends with O'Donoghue, as my rumpy doppelganger @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus said,…
