This sketch is a gateway drug to spending the rest of the night listening to The Doors.
Vlad
Break on Through!
No kidding, right?
Yes but now when I hear them I'll be convinced there is a SHEEP contributing to the music 🎼
Bruh I literally just put on the doors after watching this 😂
Val Kilmer in the 90's could have toured with the surviving members of the Doors and they would have killed it.
Easily
He straight up played Jim Morison in a movie.
@@Jagger-Tyr_13 The Doors, 1991. This skit from 2000 is like a reunion tour.
@@gospelofrye6881 good catch man.
Though it was weird they did this while he played in that movie 🤣 so thanks for that time stamp.
edit: I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm being genuine lol
They tried to recruit Eddie vedder to play w the doors he passed think the lead singer of the cure went on tour w then then they got sued since they didn’t actually have the rights to the doors name
"My girlfriend can sing" is the kiss of death for a band.
Only if she's terrible
That's how Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac though
Either right over or under "my girlfriend can sing" is "my girlfriend can manage us."
@@WinslowLeach1974 Hiring anyone's girlfriend/boyfriend ensures a power block. Went through that twice over the years. No sir, I didn't care for it.
Rik Ocasek wouldn't let Ben Orr's girlfriend worm her way into the Cars, and that was the correct move. Would have wrecked it.
This was only 10 years after Kilmer filmed the Doors (released in 1991).. We are now 30 years removed from when The Doors was filmed. I feel so old now.
Amazing.
Fuuuudge we’re old!
Tell me about it: I was an extra. Still remember how damp and chilly it was outside all night.
Algorithm 2021
Roughly the same amount of time between the movie and the and their first album!
WOW, that Altamont stabbing/Who trampling reference was DARK and flew right under the radar. There's even knife slashes across his shirt, and shoeprints on her shirt.
Not exactly in the best taste.
A pre-9/11 irreverence. I was thinking that about a lot of the references in this. An innocence/ irreverence that kind of went away...
@@danmseattle975 lol yeah it's pretty damn gruesome.
I thought it was hilarious
I was about to make the same comment!
The little girl holding a bottle of Jack LoL
And the business man going for feedback waving his phone in front of the amp.
It would have been funnier if she actually said the line instead of the “radio edit” scream... but I suppose she is a little kid, after all...
@@carlsaganlives6086 It would've been cool if he'd burned the phone at the end.
At end the little girl singing with a bottle of jack in her hands kills me every time this is my favorite snl skit 😂
Tom cruise 😂
It's definitely up there. I can't believe I've never seen this. This whole sketch is Genius.
This and "More Cowbell!" both are too much.
I was so hoping they would show the reincarnated band and when they did I completely lost it
@@rigelmoon9030there are thousands of SNL sketches and you only remember 2 well done😂
"I was like: 'Oh my... DAD'".
That was so Will Ferrell
😂I’m deceased 🙏👻
I died laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jimi Hendrix was a hell of a great guitar 🎸 slinger.
@@-KMA- Peter Banks and Chris Squire of YES,REST IN PEACE.
Fallon's qui-hi-hi-hit bit is hysterical.
lemmy kilmester should fit the job.
And then he immediately hid behind the others to cover his laughing.
Funnier then his whole show
😂 That part killed me! So funny 😅
Fallon actually did something funny? I gotta see this..
Not gonna lie, Id like to hear a complete cover of The End with that little girl on vocals. She killed it.
She is awesome! LOL
Best part of the bit, for sure!
Agreed! This was my favorite part. So funny.
100% agree!! Cut way too soon
Nailed the end scream
I love how the audience is just not getting this. Kilmer is still giving the Morrison role his all!
Rachel Dratch wearing the Who shirt with footprints all over it is one of the darkest jokes SNL ever did and it went completely over the audience's heads.
@@pronkb000 Not to mention the guy with her in the bloody Altamont TV shirt. This sketch is brilliant.
@@pronkb000 explain then
@@chia5447 The Who gave a concert at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati in 1979 where a rush to get prime spots for the festival floor seating led to a crowd stampede where 11 people were trampled to death.
@@pronkb000 oh wow thanks
Sketches can be hard to end. This one really stuck the landing on this one. That kid singing The End was my favorite part.
44
This is probably my favorite SNL sketch. Kilmer is so amazing as Morrison, that I think even Jim himself would have loved his performance.
+Phrankster163 Did you never see the film The Doors withKilmer, If not ... do.
@@winterlandboy Then goolg how inaccurate the movie was and see how much Oliver Stone fucked it up!
anyone who likes the doors know how bad of an impression this is
Are you high?

I lost it at the end when that little girl was singing The End.
Yeah brother that little gal was awesome
She was most original and unexpected gem by far. That was it for me. She and the sumo wrestler in that reincarnated line-up killed with The Doors’ The End. So surreal. Hilariously inspired!
The beginning of the song was good. She put a lot of feeling in it.
@ 4:23 when kilmer aka Morrison says "I think im having a nervous breakdown", there is so much emotion in his eyes!!!! 😍
It's actually a line he says in The Doors movie. Not a historically accurate depiction but Val did a hell of a job becoming James Douglas.
@@georgemcduffey2622 Thanks for sharing :)
Amelia is the Yoko of the Great Frog Society.
Not really. She could still kinda sing.
Yoko can sing she’s not the greatest by any means but singing just wasn’t her focus she was more about the art side of her music
No shit Sherlock
Don't put down Yoko.
Blew past there heads
val kilmer is perfect for this role..
+TheAlexis4444 Nahh...too fat!!
+TheAlexis4444 Well, he did play Morrison in The Doors movie form 1991
+TheAlexis4444 Yeah.. hollywood producers thought so too when they cast him as Morrison for the Doors movie..many years ago now.
+TheAlexis4444 To get the role in the movie, Val Kilmer learned 50 Doors songs. He sung them so well that when they heard him sing them, the real members of the Doors couldn't tell whether it was his, or Morrison's voice.
***** Oh! I remember reading it somewhere
“No we’re on the other side. What do we do? Now that we died?”😹😹😹😹😹
This was absolutely hysterical! The little girl singing "The End" was laugh-out-loud funny. As previous commentators said, it really is wild how closely Val Kilmer resembles Jim Morrison.
He nailed Jim Morrison
i would hope so. after the movie " Val Kilmer was reportedly so thoroughly consumed with portraying the character Jim Morrison, he had to seek psychiatric assistance to help get "Jim" out of his head."
talk to anyone that was around...everyone nailed jim morrison lol
@@ladylyrichere9373 eww
"🎶What can we do now we've died?🎶"
That final band constellation in the... end is probably the most brilliant creation ever. A Sumo wrestler, a little girl in a blue dress, a sheep and a businessman talking in his cellphone... absolutely brilliant! Just a huge musical antimatter...
You🤷♀️ forgot the tree stump🌲.
Love seeing Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison again
To this day ,I can't for the life of don't understand why Kilmer wasn't nominated for an academy award for his portrayal of Morrison.
Or as Doc Holliday in Tombstone .
@@bak-mariterry9143 Right!
I agree completely!
I think it was because he was very difficult to work with off camera. Great Actor. Extremely talented. But it got to his head a bit. Industry people started hating him. I think I learned that in this documentary about the film he did with Brando, The Island of Dr. Moreau. That shows you the Oscars aren't based on merit. It's all Politics and Money.
@@CUStudioFilms like everything else.
Even in a Christian Heaven, the record producer is still Jewish
Jesus isnt jewish 🤣
@@davidaaronartist let’s see what the general population has to say about that
@@davidaaronartist If he wasn't Jewish, than what is he?
"Jesus says to Pilate I am King of the Jews" Mark 15:2
@@odemu2074 Exactly
Sad to see Val going through a hard time. A Great actor of the Boomer-Xgen era. played a convincing Jim Morrison.
I can't begin to tell you how happy it made me to hear that they used the actual behind the music narrator
"Thousands of young hopefuls arrive by bus accident or other means..." I CAN'T lol
Yes!!! 😄
😂😂😂 they should've added, overloaded plane too
Bonus points for getting Hendrix's guitar the right way
@@sose6255 what're you on about?
@@sose6255 just curious why you think he wouldn't want another guitarist?
@@Gfw36026 because when you got Jimi Hendrix who has the talent of 10 guitarists, who needs another?
@@sose6255 Jimi loved playing with other guitarists and did so every chance he could. He even invited a second guitarist to play with him at Woodstock.
@@sose6255 blame that on whoever mixed the recording, not Jimi.
How can Val Kilmer be so similar to Jim Morrison? The face, the voice...
Val Kilmer's face is different than Morrison's... the nose is different, the eyes are different, the hair is different...... the voice s close but not quite.
10 million bucks, is how.
@@danilaird8360 so basically he is different because he is another man?🤣
@@stelsue1958 so, why did Kilmer get the job and not De Niro , just saying?
@@Blondfoxy24 Dramatic license.
De Niro is of a different caliber, all together. Aside from that, with age comes knowledge.
Holy crap ~ how have I never seen or even heard of this until February 2021?! This sketch is so layered and dark and hilarious while being a pitch perfect spoof of Behind the Music. Even stranger...do not quote me but I am fairly certain that little girl at the end is Jewel Restaneo. I stage managed A CHRISTMAS CAROL at MSG for years and Jewel was a child actor in the show for one, maybe two seasons. She has grown up to accomplish many things since playing a reincarnated Jim Morrison.
You are correct. Jewel Restaneo was also on SNL another time when Calista Flockhart hosted.
Kilmer should've been acknowledged for the morrison portrayal in oliver stones movie "the doors" . Just like Jaime foxx was for "ray"
Jim was a legend, some even say a god or the second Jesus,,, but yelling f*ck on stage, singing about killing your father and fkin your Mom,, well, they kind of closed the doors on him, (bad pun),, Jim was not just a singer,, he was an icon, a pure symbol ,, a light,,, ,,,,,, ,,,,, Ray was a legend, but he never hit the spots that Jim did,,, never achieved the immortality that comes with that greatness ,, sorta like James Brown did,,,, I love ALL their songs,, but I listen to a heck of a lot more Doors, and know and understand Jim more, and his ''quest'',,, ... Fly on LIzard King
There should be a sketch with a rival rock band gathered by Kurt Cobain
Although not from SNL, here's Kurt Cobain in heaven:
czcams.com/video/71trLDEBcDE/video.html
Yeah
Kurt Cobain vocals/guitar
John Bonham drums
John Lennon vocals/ rhythm guitar
John Entwistle bass
We should call it:
Kurt Cobain and the Johns
@@raspberrycrowns9494 Mr.K and the Threejays
@John Afella Jon Lord Organ...Mr.K and Four Js
The Hendrix businessman trying to get feedback from his cellphone! LOL
He should have set it on fire.
But he wasn't holding it upside-down.
I love love love that they got the real
_Behind The Music_ narrator.
Oh wow
Sorry but I think that’s Higgins dude.
@@Konst_Abel no, it sounds identical to the Behind The Music narrator.
4:29 wahts the song???
@@brainerborges5254 this one: czcams.com/video/BpndGZ71yww/video.htmlsi=C0wJ4hyCe48-tzl1&t=149
*Oh my Dad," killed me.
they lost the chance to reincarnate Buddy as a cricket
Or John Lennon as a beetle
why?
Or they rejected the chance to be obvious.
@@jonnuanez2843 Or for that matter, George Harrison.
Paying that one. 😁
New episode in 2020: Joey Ramone on vocals; Eddie Van Halen on guitar; John Entwistle on bass; Ginger Baker on drums (Neil Peart just wants to write lyrics); and Amy Winehouse on backing/co-leads.
Dude, that is an awesome band! That band would easily sell out venues with its appeal to a widespread audience.
They'd all be dead again in a week, coke is a hell of a drug...
Amy is too wasted to perform, even in the heareafter
Prince might be on guitar.
Chester B on vocals
Mac Miller on raps
Christina Grimmie on keys
Nick Menza on drums
Chi Cheng on bass
Avicii on turntables
And Chester hooks up with Amy
Jim's little girl reincarnation singing the End had me rolling🤣
I loved Val parodying/reprising this role. 🤣😂🤣
The Stone's Altamont and Riverfront Coliseum Who fans t-shirts are the icing on the cake in this. Hilarious!
But Altamont was a black guy. There were 2 hot n runs and an LSD drowning, too.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 4 people died at the Stones’ Altamont Show. Meredith Hunter was the only one murdered. It was gruesome. All were tragic. SNL likely picked one of the other 3 Caucasian male fatalities because they feared repercussions if they featured Hunter.
Thank you CZcams Recommendations, took 77 years for me to see arguably the most well written and executed sketch in SNL History, The references to the famous dead fans (altamont, who trampling victim), Tracy Morgan doing the best impression I've seen him do lol, and that ending... 7 years later someone tell me that Kid is a superstar I haven't heard of... Top 10 All-time SNL sketches just perfect.
Just the fact that Kilmer could come back as Morrison and parody his take on Morrison just goes to show there is no one else like Val Kilmer. I hate to see him in his current conditions
That girl's scream in The End...priceless. :)) "Mother...? WAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
It's great how they got the actual "Behind the Music" voice for this segment
That little girl should have won an Oscar for her performance... : )
@B P good to know.
Emmy awards are for TV
She is Annie Clark now known as St. Vincent.
Hell yes
Looks and sounds like Jim Morrison was reincarnated as Val Kilmer!
Have u seen him in the film The Doors?
I guess you've never watched a Jim Morrison interview? Have you?
Morrison was reincarnated 12 years before his death? That's not how reincarnation works.
Kilmer was Born in 1959
@@KatarinaMB1 facetious
The ending is priceless. Magnificent
Awesome that Val reprised his iconic role 🙏🏻💜🤘
he's gone thru a real h ealth crisis lately, let's all keep in mind and heart.
I give Jimmy Fallon credit for getting through the buddy holly part without breaking.
3 seconds and one line where he didnt have to laugh. Low bar.
I personally love how they got the guy who actually narrated behind the music to do the narration.
The Frog King.
Val Kilmer was awesome playing Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors
Val Kilmer looks EXACTLY the same as when he portrayed Morrison in The Doors (1991)!
@Dave Gordon uh, ok. Dude.
@Chuck Buskee no this is made in 2000
Possibly the smartest and funniest SNL skit ever. Especially the ending.
Side note: Loie Armstrong had collapsed cheeks from trumpet playing. The result was that sometimes when he played the horn, the cheeks puffed way out, like those of a frog.
The ending was hilarious! Val is and always will be a great actor. 👍
Val is the perfect Jim no wonder he played him in The Doors movie, love Jim, Love The Doors and love val
I saw Jim long time ago and let me tell you it was far from glory that man turned into a myth
Me too HOney,,,,, Someone even said once, I looked like DOC
Nah
This is actually the Beatles story: Jim Morrison & Amelia Earhart could be John & Yoko, Keith Moon is Ringo briefly quitting during the White Album sessions, and the bickering between both Jims evokes Paul and George falling out in the Let It Be sessions. Even the song The End as the band's last song establishes a parallel with The Beatles' final track on Abbey Road.
Fr
I was born in ‘81, and when I try to picture Jim Morrison, I picture Val Kilmer portraying Jim Morrison.
I was not expecting everything at that ending, laughed out loud there.
Is that the real "Behind The Music" narrator? Sounds very authentic.
yup its Jim Forbes
Yes
Stephen King wrote a short story about rock and roll heaven. It's actually a small picturesque town in the pacific northwest. It's hell.
Yes, I remember that.
Weird that an SNL sketch ends better than it begins; it was dragging, but they nailed it with the R band and the girl.
Jim Morrisons legacy or voice will never die.
And Morrison is still gargling Jack Daniels in heaven!! LMAO
That was the funniest part of the sketch
It looked like Janis had a bottle, too. Moon definitely should've had a bottle of brandy, or three. Lol.
“I QUI-HE-HE-HE-HIT” 😂 Fallon is so funny
Omg VAL playing Jim Morrison again. This is fucking epic
Fuck it’s weird it’s like I’m literally watching the real Jim Morrison in a comedy sketch that involves jimmy fallon as buddy holly
OH MY DAAAD!
hahahaha this is glorious.
Keith moon looks like he ate himself
I noticed Rachel Dratch wearing a shirt saying The Who Live At Cincinnati, 1979 with shoe prints on it...that is a very dark reference.
and altamont tshirt with blood lol
Chris Katan had an Altamont t
It was a black guy at Altamont, btw.
it was back when people could actually make and take a joke. go find a safe room.
If you are 50 years old or older you were waiting for what she was going to say after, “mother”
i was wondering how they were gonna handle that
I'm 51 and I was expecting a blackout haha.
This makes me think of the band that EVH, Dimebag, Vinnie Paul, Cliff Burton and Lemmy mustve formed
a true music lover you must be.
2 bass players??
@@michaellrakes5521 Nah Lemme would just sing
Dimebag?
*Naw...Lennon would 'take-over' soon enough, performing with 'this one/that one/and that other one'*
( *He wouldn't be able to help himself...after all, he 'is who he is'* )
Lost it at the end when the girl starts screaming...
Oh, my dad!
I’ve been on earth for 27 years and am a massive Morrison, Hendrix, Buddy Holly, and snl fan and this is the first time I’ve seen this. How is this possible? I thought google knew me...
"I'M THE LIZARD KING! I CAN DO ANYTHING!" -VAL KILMER. ✌
i want to "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" gets me everytime
Morrison only screamed that line because the original lyrics were, “fuck you all night long,” and they couldn’t play that on the radio.
He screamed "Fuck yooooouuu ALL NIGHT yayehhh", but they cut it off in the mixing process, fading in so you only hear "ooooo ALL NIGHT yayehhh".
The current writers would kill for something as good as this.
Awww Val Kilmer, love you always. Praying for a full recovery for you so you can get back to acting and being awesome!!
I can picture EVH now playing with David Bowie, Prince, & Lemmy.
And Tom Petty 😢
Don't forget Neil Peart
After 2020 Uriah Heep members David Byron, Lee Kerslake, Gary Thain and Ken Hensley reunited in RR heaven looking for a new guitar player. I feel EVH fits that bill perfectly, but then there is also Randy Rhoads...
Eddie Van Halen... RIP
Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for that roll...
Pure Genius. I wish I knew who came up with this idea. The writing and performances are awesome.
I like how they were true to detail, and made Hendrix a lefty.❤❤❤
This has got to be one of the best endings to an SNL skit ever. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The little girl with the bottle of whisky is genius
I dedicate the end of this video to the late great career of legendary Will Smith. You know “but off stage, things were falling apart.” “Whoooahhh yeah!”
This is the bomb. Born 1950 I appreciate this clip.
Val kilmer is a legend, and he did an amazing job in the Doors film,great sketch
I thought the little girl was going to curse when the “mother, I want to...”, if you’re a doors fan then you know he curses during the live versions
At the very end, does anybody notice the businessman (Jimi Hendrix) waving his cell phone in front of the amplifier? LOL.
Any heavenly supergroup with Janis and Jim together would be hell.
One of my favorite SNL skits. What a great thing to stumble upon!
That little girl singing The End is hilarious - SNL at its best, edgy and funny. Fallon talking as Buddy Holly was also awesome. Classis sketch.
Val really portrayed Jim like a pro
It looked like his last line was cut by Keith Moon
Now we broke on through to the other side and what do we do? Now that we’re on the other side? That’s funny!
Now EVH and Prince can join the band too! Heavens got a helluva band!
Was that the cutest ever ending or what?
Ivthink that girl was trying to be judith barsi
That little girl is probably in her 30s now.
I wonder how many times the kid asked, "why do I scream instead of singing words?" before someone clued her in.
🎶I WANT TO AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!🎶
Jesus said "Oh my DAD!!!.....im gonna sign it them inmediately!! "
Sounds like Heaven!! :)
Whenever Will and Molly are in an SNL skit ...I know it’s gonna be HILARIOUS 😂 !!!!
