    You gotta love how every great comedian has their own style and contributes their own trademark to comedy. Will's style I can never get enough of, it was so random and off kilter and you never knew what he was going to say. Many may not agree with me but to me he's a comedic genius.

    I taped this when it was live, and then watched it many times. This was a good episode. Back when you could rely on SNL to give you an hour and a half of weekly entertainment. I gave up watching full episodes around 2006. When I remember to check for sketches from new episodes on CZcams, I only play about a quarter of them, and only about ten percent of the ones I play do I watch all the way to the end. For me the heyday was about 1998-2002, though there have been good sketches and performers since then.

      The Ultimate Reductionist
      Totally irrelevant. Catching a ride to orbit, while never as safe as riding a school bus, need not be a game of Russian roulette. It became a game of Russian roulette because of the inferior design and poor management of NASA's death trap shuttle. The incident with Soyuz a couple weeks ago is the perfect illustration of a point that some of us have been making for years : astronauts need not die in the case of a simple booster failure. Yet that's exactly what would result in most any likely failure scenario with the shuttle.

    How many survivors was a prescient question by Harry given the Shuttle's bad track record.
