The Best of the New show aired in 1984, with Buck Henry, Steve Martin, Valri Bromfield, Gilda Radner, JohnCandy, Catherine O'Hara, Dave Thomas, Tom Davis, Candice Bergen, Teri Garr, Randy Quaid...
Now I finally know why Janice from Friends always seemed familiar, she was on this! She must never age because this is 10 years before Friends and she looks exactly the same.
This is not the "best of the new show." The frightened family is one of the best skits of the New Show, and it's not even in this video. This was huge at the time when it aired all the kids in school were talking about it with all the iconic comedians together in one show.
Someone needs to upload the TV spot NBC ran when Teri Garr hosted. They had her standing on the stage looking confused, saying something like, "NBC asked me to host the show this week because then the ratings will go up and they can charge more for sponsors." Well, I guess NBC didn't care to find out how much the ratings were going to go up because they canned it the same day her episode aired. It ended up being the series finale. Far funnier than anything that pathetic hack Lorne Michaels came up with FOR the show.
Show had some funny moments for sure. Not all of them are here but this isn't a bad mix.
Thanks so much Michael Delaney for posting this rare tv show episode.

Buddy reminds me of Walter White lol. The New Show was hilarious really wish it got a longer leash

Painful.... Gilbert Gottfried podcast sent me here.
If this is the "Best" of the New Show, I'd hate to know what the "Worst" is
Steve Martin dancing to girls just want to have fun was kind of funny.
Did Phil Hartman steal buddy's act?

this is not funny at all...I didn't laugh once. No wonder I never heard of it until today...
Does it help or hurt that the person who did this was Lorne Michaels before he decided to return to Saturday Night Live in 1985?
