Reply #17: I saw the best few minutes SNL ever had, in rerun a few months ago.

It was from the first season. Some unknown guy claiming he was the world's best Elvis impersonator (he looked like a math teacher).

He said "And now I'm going to do the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley, right after sticking a fork in his eye".

He then put a hand over his eye, and began screaming the bejesus while reeling around the stage. He actually fell, still screaming and twitching, off the stage and ONTO the audience.

He then rolled off a bemused member of the audience and continued screaming and yelling incoherently... roll end credits.

There was a time when SNL was really, really innovative and challenging. But it was a long fucking time ago.
