It was in fact. It aired on 12/07/06 and included Darryl Hammond as Sean Connery (before he'd developed the Evil Connery act), Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds, and Martin Short as Jerry Lewis.

The categories: Celebrities, Potpourri, Popular Music, Movies, Potent Potables, U.S. History, and the infamous "S" Words.

When we play party games, we refer an a moment when a player pulls a correct answer completely out of their ass as a "Chocolate Babies" moment.

Uhh, can I have some lotto numbers, please? :-)

Anyway, my faves are Celeb J!; Food, Sex, or Cars; and Stand Up and Win.  I don't really have any worsts.

What about East Hollywood Squares on MADtv with Peter Marshall? I thought that was pretty good.

Try madtv.com. They have clips from time to time. There's actually two or three Feud sketches...one of them has the Sopranos playing, then there's just a general episode making fun of Louie Anderson (you're right, it was hilarious), then there was one last year with Lord of the Rings.

BTW, East Hollywood Squares was In Living Color, and speaking of which, those, and the "Dirty Dozens" sketches should also be added to my list, right along with the MadTV Feuds.

No Horan here, I happen to have the whole set of 12 CJ's, and the filenames happen to include the airdates.

Wow! It aired in 1906? That WAS a long time ago!

Okay. Crap-on-Chris-Lemon time is over now...

Chris, which one am I missing?  I only have 11:

12/7/96, 5/10/97, 10/4/97, 5/9/98, 10/24/98, 3/20/99, 10/23/99, 4/15/00, 12/16/00, 9/29/01, 5/18/02

There's a gap in spring 2000.  Is that it, or is there something more sinister afoot?

[DrBear]

May I hasten to add....

Several Monty Python classics, including "Blackmail," "What do you (cuckoo)," a new radio quiz game loosely based on all the old radio quiz games, and of course, "World Forum" (our contestant is Karl Marx, and he's playing for this beautiful lounge suite...)

And back to SNL, Bill Murray hosting "Quien es mas Macho?"

Based on my set, you are missing the 2/8/01 installment. Here are the specs:

Players: Horatio Sanz as Ozzy Osbourne, Ana Gasteyer as Martha Stewart, and Darryl Hammond as (Evil) Sean Connery

Categories: Potent Potables, Drummers Named Ringo, States That Begin With "Californ", Richard Nixon, The Number After 2, Famous Kareem Abdul-Jabbars, and Don't Do Anything.  

Best line: "This Ringo was the "Starr" drummer for the Beatles."
<Connery rings in>: "Craven Moorehead."
Trebek: "Who is Craven Moorehead?"
Connery: "Apparently you are! HA HA HA HA!!!!"

(Contact me off-board if you don't have this, we'll get ya a Gmail account if you don't already have one and I'll send it to ya.)

Though it may not have been the best sketch ever, I found SNL's one Weskest Link parody amusing.  From 2001:

Anne (Rachel Dratch): "Tamara.. in quantum mechanics, you are an ugly, ugly woman who is going to die alone and unloved."

Tamara: "That wasn’t even a question!"

Anne: "Correct! No question about it."

An obscure summer replacement series called She TV had a little sketch called Brain Dead Concentration. The two contestants kept calling "seven and twenty-three" even though they didn't match.

Saturday Night Live's Best of Game Show Parodies tape contains edited versions of Food, Sex, or Cars, Stand Up and Win, Jackpot Wad, Jeopardy!:1999  among others. I posted a roster about three or four months ago.

Not to mention "Spot the Looney"--"She is not a looney, she is a television personality!"

And back to SNL, Bill Murray hosting "Quien es mas Macho?"

"Quien es mas macho--David Yanssen, Lloyd Bridges o Yack Lord?"

ANNOUNCER (whispering):  "El responde correctamente es Lloyd Bridges de 'Patrol Submarina'..."

[bscripps]

I'm all for some of the SNL bits already mentioned--Common Knowledge, Jackie Rogers Jr., and Stand Up and Win ("I'll take 'Gilligan's Island' for $200."  "The answer is: A three-hour tour?!?  A THREE HOUR TOUR!?!"), but I hadn't seen any mention yet of Game Breakers (I think that was what they called it).  The one with Susan Lucci, an on-camera appearance by Don Pardo, and a walk-on by Gene Rayburn.  

Also on my list, for no other reason than the pure absurdity of it, was "Name That Dog", with two contestants asked to guess a series of dogs' names...
