24. Favorite SNL skit?
Can I even name a SNL skit?

that was my difficulty in answering, too. i'm like, "well there was that Eddie Murphy thing ... but was that standup or SNL?" i don't know. i never really got into it, "classic" or "new." it is what it is. i watch a skit or two and then turn the channel. i never memorized any. most just annoyed me.

i suppose the closest to "naming one" would be the Sean Connery on Jeopardy parodies, but i think i only know more about that in the retellings from my friends than actually seeing it first-hand.
