18. "How does this affect me, Al Franken?"
Edited on Fri May-28-04 10:24 AM by Richardo
Still one of the funniest running bits they had on "Weekend Update"

That and his commercial for a genuine, "copper clad, Lincoln head medallion" for $20: :D

25. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog gone it people like me.
Good old Stuart Smalley. They also used to to a "Franken and Davis" skit that was dry, but hilarious if you got it...

32. Carvey and Hammond the best mimics
Edited on Fri May-28-04 11:35 AM by carolinayellowdog
Carvey's dual role as Bush 41 and Perot in the 1992 debates was an all-time great. Hammond's impression of Gephardt was the best of the Dem candidate portrayals, and his Johnny Cash tribute was excellent recently.

on edit: but Chris Parnell's Lieberman was damn good too
