This always cracks me up.
I've never really been a fan of Alec Baldwin or this later generation of Saturday Night Live, but every once in a while, they did put together some pretty hilarious stuff.
For what it's worth, I grew up watching SNL in the mid-to-late 70's, and when that was finished up around midnight, my brothers and I would watch SCTV until we either passed out from exhaustion as a result of three hours of constant laughter, or our parents were ticked off that our squealing and giggling woke them up --again.
Still, that was when SNL was simply at its best, and the outrageousness of the skits in those days could never be duplicated in today's oppressive climate of political correctness. I mean, the things they got away with in those days would most likely get a network shut down today, and that's kind of sad, I think.
Ah well...

I didn't even watch the clip, because I could tell right away it was the Schwetty Balls bit. A classic! I loved SCTV, too...they blowed up REAL good!
