    I still say “wowie wow wow wow” ever since this was originally on SNL years ago! Walken’s desperately sleazy character was so memorable in all these crazy “Continental” sketches.

      Totally agree! You don’t see them often enough. I looked forward to his “Theee Continental “ with plenty of chompagn ya! He is amazing. I hope soon he returns to SNL and give us more skits for the younger generation to learn how to become a “Walken Ladies Man”, Smoke jacket and all!!💋💋💄🙃
