Steve Martin returns to SNL for the 15th time

The last time that Steve Martin hosted was back in 2006 to promote 'The Pink Panther.' This time around, it's the sequel as once again, he plays Peter Sellers' iconic role of Inspector Jacques Cloustou.

The musical guest for tonight's show will be first-timer, Jason Mraz.

Once Again, Tim Kazurinsky

This time around, it's a Superbowl ettiquette-themed skit that aired on WGN set to Highlights For Children famed duo: Goofus and Gallant.



BTW, the Russell Johnson that's in the skit is NOT The Professor from Gillgan's Island.

EDIT: From December, 2007 on how to behave at a holiday party, a la Goofus and Gallant:

Happy Birthday G.E. Smith!!

For a guy who shares the same birthday as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, music DOES IN FACT flows in his veins.

San Fancisco Gate reviews DVD debut of "Mr. Mike's Mondo Video"

Mr. Mike is Michael O'Donoghue, one of the more extreme figures of the '70s comedy movement that produced the National Lampoon and "Saturday Night Live." Anyone who remembers the darker and more bitter strain of the Lampoon's satire knows what O'Donoghue was all about. His comic style ran from outrageous to way beyond the pale, and he had such a combustible personality that he terrified some performers at "SNL," where he was the show's first head writer. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage at 54. This show was supposed to be an NBC special, but the network found it too uninhibited, and it was never aired. It largely vanished after a quick theatrical release. The program alternates the kind of raunchy material that scared NBC with gonzo absurdism and in-your-face naughtiness, such as the "Cat Swimming School" skit. Early "SNL" cast members appear - Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman - along with guests such as Carrie Fisher, Margot Kidder and Sid Vicious. (Vicious is seen singing "My Way," but the sound is blocked because of copyright issues.) Among the bonus features are some "SNL" excerpts, Murray's 1994 eulogy of O'Donoghue and a selection of "Mr. Mike's Least-Loved Bedtime Tales" from the show's second season.
