David Lee Roth impressions on SNL.

[WARF]

Does anyone remember the 4/19/97 episode of Saturday Night Live where Chris Kattan did his DLR impersonation, with Pamela Lee wrapped around his arms?

The episode was called, "Remember The 80'S"

Very funny shit.

Never saw it...but, Kattan cracks me up.

[DlocRoth]

All he kep sayin was "Bozey bozey bop" or something.

ROFL

[academic punk]

he looks more like Vince Neil in that pic of him in the original post.

True Kattan story: I used to work at the ad agency that handled those 1-800-COLLECT commercials.

To all of our great annoyance, some of the featured B-list celebs we used were Dennis Miller, Terry Bradshaw, Jon Lithgow, and, among others, ALF. Say what you will about the spots (we sure did), these celebs were making into the mega-six figures for this crap, which represented...ONE day of work for them (of course the contract they had to sign barred them from endorsing any competing services and use of their face in print ads, but really, I'm not crying for any of them)

One time we had a character that we all thought Chris Kattan would be perfect for. We presented the concept to MCI, they loved it, signed off on it, now comes the easy part: contract the personality.

As it turns out, Chris Kattan was not interested. The offer was raised, TWICE, but this was non-negotiable: Chris Kattan will *NOT* do commercials. Very weird, because, in fairness, it's not like he's a great refined Shakespearean actor. He's a comedian on SNL who did a crappy movie (Roxbury).

Nonetheless, there it is, Chris Kattan will not sell his artistic credibility for commercial purposes.

This must has happened before his CORKY ROMANO film.

It was...either '99 or '00.

MAYBE early '01. But the safe money is '00.

the dummy :p

[academic punk]

I'll say! Because of that, someone else's script went through, and I didn't get the bonus money for MCI "buying" the script!

ASS-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE!!!!!

[WARF]

[zeronumber]

I remember that skit.

Pamela Lee was the star, and Tommy Lee was there with her.

it was remember the 80's with Goat boy...

Kattan come in "...And I'm so sad, and Lonely, bidbidy boz, zedop, bolop zop"

Goat boy: "Wow, that was a great song Dave!!!"

DLR: "Song nothing, I'm dead serious, I'm so sad and lonely, and I haven't eaten in such a long time!!!"

That was funny as hell.

Please. I do have some standards.

[Big Troubles]

I always thought Chris K was a dork. Not funny at all, and I thought the skit was in poor taste. ( I guess cause I hate it when people take jabs at the man ) "Seriously, I haven't eaten in a long time"... Not funny. What has Kattan done? 2 movies? Fak, I rented "Taxi" and thought that was him until the end, turns out there are two very Unfunny idiots that look the same. And for the last 10 years, I'd hate to have SNL on my resume.

[fret_buzz_blues]

I saw that shit! It was funny.
