More hijinks from WGN

Case in point: Tracy Morgan emulates a woman who recently gave birth on camera during the WGN Morning News.

It goes to show that I haven't forgotten the Ebersol years (81-85) of SNL

And here's proof: Tim Kazurinsky (81-84) on WGN and his take on the WGA Strike.



It makes me happy that lame-ass strike had ended earlier this year.

EDIT: As an added bonus, here's another Kazurinsky appearance on WGN. This time around, weatherman Tom Skilling gets bugged, as you'll see in this next video.

Gov. David Patterson (D-NY) to SNL: It's No Laughing Matter

Did SNL Go Too Far? Blind Governor Not Happy

Saturday Night Live this weekend turned its comedic gaze to New York's Governor David Patterson. Actor Fred Amisen played Paterson, the blind Governor who must fill the senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton. The National Federation of the Blind says the skit was an attack on all blind Americans. In the skit Amisen says that one of the qualifications for the Senate spot is having a disability and being unprepared for the job (like him). So, what's the deal? SNL - which has impersonated and generally roasted every major politician since its inception -- has just come off a successful campaign season. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin was a juggernaut that propelled the show to some of its best ratings in years. Now this. Did they go too far?
