Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman - acting! (two of the best of all time)
One of the most under-rated comedians ever.
True dat sis.
"One of the most under-rated comedians ever."
And yet it happened.
Oh yes, one of the most recognisable humorists in the whole world, with remarkable cameos and references in all of the best comedies of the last 30 years. Underrated. 🥱🥱🥱🥱
@@DolfoLicks that's exactly what I was gonna say! XD
Phil yes...
The kids were perfect. I would expect a little confusion especially from the youngest but they seemed to deliver all their lines perfectly.
Why, it was….acting!!
Master Thespian and Chanukah Harry are essential holiday hilarity. Thank you Jon Lovitz!
I love Jon Lovitz. Definitely one of the greats.
I love how that little extra mouthes the lines along with with Jon! so cute!
Back in the 80's we lived for SNL. Then at Bush Gardens where I worked everyone would say Acting! Thank you! Great times.
"How dare you teach this child to beg! Have you no shame? Ho Ho Ho!!"
Master Thespian “Acting!” 😆😆😆
But for real, I love this!
Jon was incredible!
"How dare you teach your child to beg. Have you no shame?"
Comedic genius.
Every time I see santa at the mall I secretly wish he would "Ho ho hooo!!" Like Lovitz. It would be a christmas miracle
John Lovitz was incredibly underrated and he was very talented and very hilarious..... I loved his role in the wedding singer
Written and mentioned by Bob Odenkirk in his biography: Chapter 4: A bright shining nanosecond.
Bob’s book brought me here too!
LOL the echo sounds like crap
Cool. I did not know that.
Written by Odenkitk yes, but the idea was Robert Smigel’s. Check out Lovitz’ appearance on Bob Sagat’s CZcams channel. Their episode was done during the pandemic.
So glad Odenkirk got a hit with Better Call Saul
So much great behind the scenes work and bit parts
Phil Hartman in this sketch sounds like Brian Stack when portraying The Interrupter on Late Night with Conan O’Brian. The cadence is almost the same.
John Lovitz is a national treasure.
Master Thespian may be the greatest recurring character in snl history.
Why are you asking me? I don’t even know you 😆🤣😆🤣
How _dare_ you teach this child to beg?
looooool
And Phil Hartman playing Frank Nelson! YeeeeeeeESSSSSSSSSS!
I love how the kids have huge smiles on their faces while Lovitz and Hartman are yelling at them!
That kid in the red shirt 😂😂😂 he stole the show!
His sketches were always winners.
This sketch was written by Bob Odenkirk. He talks about it on Stern a few months back.
At the time, this was probably a throw away, post weekend update sketch, but its pretty brilliant.
Farting and then claiming acting has been a running joke for some time between my brother and me because of this skit.
Has to be one of their classic skits. Lovitz was great.
Spot-on Frank Nelson impression from Hartman.
Phil was a little too guttural in his vocal inflectives in this skit to be like Frank Nelson - plus there was no "WELLLLL!!!!" to cap the character reference.
Good catch.
Jon attended the Basil Rathbone school of thespians.
charles Middleton swashbuckler to the end.
So many comic layers to this. Puts the current SNL to shame. Ho ho ho!
Great sketch! The kids in this were adorable!
Seth Myers and Tina Fey were so cute when they were little.
Lovitz is so underrated
Phil's character here reminds of Gale Gordon from I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show.
1:56 Faaaaart ! "Now let's hurry please ".....why ?........Trust me !
As a thespian, all I could do was laugh hysterically until I cried. This is perfect.
No one here cares about your sexual orientation! Oh, you meant you're an actor. Nevermind.
Thank God there is an echo in this sketch - otherwise I would not have believed it or thought it was funny. Good call, Lorne!
Now _that_ was _ACTING!_
Actiiing!
This is the best sketch I've seen from SNL in a while. Genuine laugh out loud. Gotta feel sorry for the little kids though.
the beautious multitudes of youth?
Lovitz was brilliant in this.
I miss Lovitz
Matt Berry owes a lot to Mr. Lovitz.
Lovitz has gone from Santa to Santos!!
4:40 is a triumphant comedic turn
John--I love your writing.
My heart doth fail
This was when SNL had talented cast.
such cute kids!
I wonder how many people ion the audience have even heard of the Great Gildersleeve.
Hartman and Lovitz needed more scenes together
3:59 Gina looks really cute in that pink outfit and black flats.
What a weird thing to say
FANTASTIC!
Anything with John i watch
When things were funny.
I LOVE This ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️
I didn't know Jay Sherman worked as a Mall Santa once
Jay Sherman and Troy McClure
Enunciation like no other.
I'm convinced that all humans are Insane. Including me myself and I...
Jonathan Michael Lovitz, you are earning right now $12,000,000 worldwide. You were born July 21st, 1957 in Tarzana, California; you are currently 62 years, 4 months, and 8 days old. lol

The kids in this sketch are now in their late 30s

ACTING!!
Back when SNL was funny !
In a Zoom podcast with Bob Saget, Jon Lovitz talks about this sketch and hearing from the little boy who appears at 4:47 , now 38 years old. That podcast is here: czcams.com/video/-RXUv0gBLCI/video.html .
ACTING!!!
EEEWWWWWW!! How did you do that?!
David and Tina are so cute!
This is why I never could stand Kevin Spacey. His little looks to the camera and smug expressions, I'm just waiting for him to yell..."Acting!!!!"...
To the USA santa is the bank give you whatever you want as long as you promise to be good. Don't be naughty now.
Season 13 not 19
“LINE”?
Who does the ratings that makes everyone on CZcams, "underrated "?
By the power of public opinion.
ACTING!
Ho ho HO
Can't they invent a better name for him?
Michael Scott brought me here
JRE

I need a political message from my thinly veiled comedy.
