    For all those people that think they are going crazy from remembering this as a Dana Carvey Show sketch, you aren’t crazy (well not entirely). That episode never aired but later that year (1996) Dana hosted SNL and re-did the sketch with Robert Smigel reprising his role as the voice of the producer.

By contrast I've known about Colbert since the late 2000s and I've never laughed at anything he's done, it's just one neverending smug sneer of liberal contempt.

    I had the most hilarious experience meeting Tom Brokaw in the late nineties in West Cornwall, CT, where I lived and worked at the time. He was an avid fly fisherman and had a place there and another in Montana. I was working at one of the very few businesses in the tiny town, a pottery store that had gifts and furniture, and we had an extremely rustic grandfather clock right in front, easily visible through the front door. He popped in one summer morning, surprisingly tall and fair, sans makeup, and looking around nervously as if for paparazzi, inquired, in his inimitable, singular, hilarious way, "How much for the - cl000ck?". I almost fell over, laughing. He was a real life parody of himself. It was a priceless moment...

    Dead. 💀🤣
    On another note, this video has been on CZcams for almost five years as of 2018, and it only has about 7K views? That's a damn shame.
    Edit: Near the end of 2022 this video now had over 210K views. Good to see it's getting recognized for the brilliant bit of comedy that it is!

    I frequently say “Gerald Ford” out loud in the voice and no one ever knows what I’m referencing

    aparently this was co-written by Stephen Colbert as discussed on the strike force five podcast.

    Gerald Ford really died on December 26, 2006, ten years after this SNL sketch and a day after Christmas 2006 making Christmas 2006 his last Christmas ever.

    Is that Robert Smigel voicing the off-screen prompts? This sounds like a bit he would have written.

    Carvey's delivery of the line "crack cocaine" is so on-point Brokaw.

      My favorite bit was Carvey playing Strom Thurmond and Bob Smigel playing Bob Dole. Carvey also plays Ted Koppel. czcams.com/video/XAkBQ3Z-SVY/video.html
      Today's SNL is a humorless shit-show. Stop Now Lorne, Still Not Laughing.

      Yeah I remember his show back in the 90’s. It not only had lots of crazy, over the top, skits but crazy titles as well. Like the “Taco 🌮 Bell 🛎 Dana Carvey Show”. It was utterly ridiculous but always made me laugh. It also featured future comedy stars like Colbert and Louis CK. Incredibly, that show only lasted 1 month before it was cancelled.

    I was a kid when this first aired. I didn't even know who Tom Brokaw was but thought this was funny as hell. Later, when I became aware if him I always thought about this sketch and realized he really did talk like that.
