Gilda Radner.....Rachel Dratch Chris Farley.....Horatio Sanz Phil Hartman.....Darrell Hammond John Belushi.....Chris Kattan Danitra Vance.....Tracy Morgan Michael O'Donoghue.....Will Ferrell .....Lorne Michaels (opens in a room with chairs placed in a circle. Gilda, Chris, Phil, John, Danitra and Michael are sitting. Lorne is standing in the center.) Lorne Michaels: Hi, I'm Lorne Michaels. You know, Saturday Night Live has been the number one late-night comedy show for more than 25 years. And during all these years, many different performers have made us laugh and even sometimes cry. Unfortunately, some of them have passed away before we had the time to thank them for everything they brought to the show. So tonight, we'd like to take a brief moment, to show our respect and our admiration toward the "SNL Ghosts". (Lorne walks away) Gilda Radner: Hi, I'm Gilda Radner, and I was on the show from 1975 to 1980. I died of an ovarian cancer in 1989. Phil Hartman: I'm Phil Hartman, and I was SNL's chameleon from 1986 to 1994. In the night of May 28th 1998, my bitchy wife Brynn shot me while I was sleeping. Hopefully, she killed herself too. John Belushi: Hey there, my name is John Belushi. I was the show's "Bad Boy" from 1975 to 1979. I died of a drug overdose in 1982. Chris Farley: Hello, Chris Farley here. I yelled and jumped around the set for five years, from 1990 to 1995. An accidental drug overdose killed me in 1997. Heard that, Belushi? AC-CCI-DEN-TAL! John Belushi: Knock it off, doughboy. Danitra Vance: Good evening, I'm Danitra Vance. I was a cast member during the 1985-1986 season, and I was the victim of a breast cancer in 1994. Michael O'Donoghue: Hello, my name is Michael O'Donoghue. I was a writer in the show's first years. I also died in 1994, due to a brain hemorrage. Gilda Radner: You know, for all of us it has been a great experience to perform on Saturday Night Live. Michael O'Donoghue: Wasn't it NBC's Saturday Night? Gilda Radner: It was the show's first name, but it changed later. Michael O'Donoghue: Oh...well...I guess that brain thing did its work right huh? (He's laughing alone and the others are staring at him)...Uhh...whatever. Phil Hartman: Although we were famous because you were so many to watch the show, we also gained our popularity because of our recurring characters on the show. For example, I was Gene the Anal Retentive Chef and the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. Chris Farley: I was that crazy motivationnal speaker, Matt Foley. John Belushi: I portrayed a Samurai who owned a restaurant. Gilda Radner: My Lisa Loopner character was a huge hit. (Danitra Vance and Michael O'Donoghue are looking at each other) Danitra Vance: Michael and I didn't have any recurring characters. Does this mean we were not famous like you guys? Phil Hartman: No, but you weren't superstars either. Michael O'Donoghue: That sucks. Danitra Vance: Yeah, you bet. Chris Farley: Anyway, even though we're not of this world anymore, we'd like to thank every single person who watched us perform. John Belushi: And don't forget that our primary objective was to make you laugh. If we did, please tell us when you'll join us up there. If we didn't, just shut up. Gilda Radner: So, as we said earlier...are you ready everyone? 1, 2, 3- Together: Thank you. (SUPER: Note for Brynn, get lost! -Phil) (screen fades) Rate or review this sketch. |
