SNL: Just Game Show Parodies
« on: March 08, 2009, 05:10:47 AM »
Tonight at 7 PM ET, you'll have two opportunities to watch a parody of a game show. You can watch Hole in the Wall on FOX, or you can watch NBC's hour-long collection of game show lampoons over Saturday Night Live's 30+ years. No details on what they're set to air, but they certainly have a plethora to choose from, some of which were released on home video in 2000.

That's cool!  My favoritte one's the FF sketch with the Coneheads when one starts imitating the "Repeat answer" buzzer, then near the end of the sketch, all the Coneheads do it, that was hilarious I thought.

I pray for Jeopardy! 1999.

EDIT:  My Yahoo TV grid says HOTW is a repeat.

Celebrity J! is a gimmie. I haven't seen Jew - Not a Jew and Who's More Grizzled? in quite a while. I'd also like to see the Chess for Girls commercial parody. (I know it's available online. I want to see it full screen.)

Zap2it and the L.A. times says this broadcast is not a rerun.

Deal or No Deal (Steve Carell, 2008)
What's Your Situation? (Jonah Hill, 2008)
It's a Match (Shia LaBouf, 2008)
Wheel of Fortune (Tom Hanks, 2006)
Dry Eyes (Justin Timberlake, 2006)
GSN's rerun of Charades (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 2006)
Celebrity Jeopardy! with Sean Connery, French Stewart and Burt Reynolds (Norm Macdonald, 1999)
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (2000)

It's a Match, Wheel of Fortune, and Celeb J! got laughs out of me. The rest...wow.

They picked the absolute best episode of Celeb J! to run, too.

I'll agree with that, but I also got a laugh out of "Charades" and "Dry Eyes" wasn't too bad.

Sadly Sabra Price is Right, Game Beaters and Bob Swerski's Quiz Masters are not on the Game Show Parodies episode of SNL.

I'll agree with that, though I'll admit to getting laughs out of Charades...if only due to the irony of "Bert Convy" shutting celebrities up...;).

What's Your Situation was okay at first, but the running joke got stale quite quickly.

\really wished they showed that "Mr. Short-Term Memory" skit; always thought that was one of the funniest game show skits they did

I know that most of the audience wasn't even alive when SNL did "Jeopardy! 1999," but still ... kids these days, I tell ya.
