Barbara and Nancy - Saturday Night Live

[@amiblueful]

Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman were great in sketches together. RIP to them both.

[@edp3202]

PH was nicknamed "The Glue".

[@JakubKotyza]

They are finaly together :)

[@tevinlandry1885]

I love how Phil, master of a thousand voices, uses his normal speaking voice to play Barbara Bush lol

[@edp3202]

True

[@Ciclopea2]

Two MAJOR talents, they share a little spot in my heart for the laughter they both brought, RIP 💕

[@michaelsix9684]

we don't get comedy like this anymore, miss Jan and Phil terribly

[@juliann3479]

Yes BUT! Check this out on you tube-if your not rolling-your not human!! Ms Raffertys paranormal encounter (with aliens)! I bet Jan and Phil would have loved her.

[@Ephemeral2023]

We do. You just have to look very hard for it.

[@thenightporter]

The way he says, "When does your plane leave?" 😆

[@phyllishamilton165]

One of their very best: the brilliant and incomparable pairing of Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman! And on a personal note: their performance in 'Schiller's Reel' so reminds me of the life my late husband Jim and I shared -- happy tears every time!

[@michaelsix9684]

awesome subtle sketch of genius, so controlled and flawless, they were perfect comedy duo

[@john-ec4460]

Jan was the one cast member that I never saw break character in any skit. Maybe she did, but in all my years of watching I've never seen it. She was such a solid cast member!

[@juliann3479]

Tis true but they always used her in those skits where she is always having fits of nervous laughter, Remember her as Tammy Faye? Laughing and crying! Too much talent...miss her alot.

[@michaelsix9684]

Jan said later she had terrible stage fright and Phil was her rock and helped her greatly, such great talents lost too soon

[@john-ec4460]

[@michaelsix9684]

@@john-ec4460 she actually said -music was too loud, it was a terrible time being at SNL, and often wished they'd cut her sketches--despite all that she delivered flawless work every time

[@kyletpreston4421]

I miss both of them ! Comedy Gold!

[@WorldNews92]

It's quite sad and spooky that both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush actually ended up outliving both of them.

[@SS-rx3jx]

Thats a depressing thought

[@danielm3192]

Iconic sketch. I remember watching this live. Such a great era of SNL! Nancy, Barbara, Jan, and Phil are all part of history now.

[@anthonylicausi3566]

Just Brilliant. Jan & Phil...what a comedy Duo 🤣

[@michaelsix9684]

such a priceless sketch

[@jane.elliot5782]

3 ppl disliked this: Babs, Nancy & George Jr.

[@mikecole1664]

Now this is proper transfer of power that we Americans are proud of ❤💙

[@delinellychan]

Hilliarous skit

[@Davidin518]

Back when SNL was funny. None of the current cast could pull off a sketch like this.

[@qsw-1228]

Nancy Reagan’s head was a bit longer than that 😂 Barbra Bush’s look is spot on 😅

[@andrewanderson5948]

They are telling you the truth here

[@johnlookabill4271]

I loved these two and miss them a lot. Did you hear Phil say just tell me where it is, George, when Jan said she knew exactly where the hat was.

[@erinkent3713]

"But of course it is your house FOR NOW!" lol. Love this line at 1:45

[@erinhooks5284]

Jan was my cousin

[@jedijones]

Erin, how well did you know her? I'd love to chat online and find out more about her and your family. She was an incredible talent, and one of the reasons these years of SNL are some of my favorite television ever.

[@roberthouston3809]

It seems two mother in laws battling it out

[@ROSE_reddy]

He called her George? 😂

[@DCGuy1997]

Seems like they could do this again right now as the current occupant doesn't want to go!

[@donnabaardsen5372]

LOL, yeah. I posted this on my FB page saying exactly that🤣

[@Chucky7286]

I was just thinking the same hence revisited this old but hilarious skit

[@clarencepeterson8646]

"Let's just get rid of this picture of George and the grandchildren, you know what they look like anyway." 🤣

[@SARISS80]

Lol she still thought it was her house.

[@patriciajackson2565]

I watched this when it first aired in 1989 and I laugh just as hard now as I did then. I seriously hope Jim Carrey and Alec Baldwin do something similar after Biden's inauguration. 😂😂

[@mckernan603]

All Alec Baldwin is capable of is sneering which is why it’s a horrible impression

This is literally Jill Biden right now.

[@SLATania74]

Thank You!!

[@jonesba2004]

Oh boy. The Bidens need to watch this.

[@Albertanator]

Well the bidens will be leaving in 4 years so we can get a chance to see how they behave.....

Not an issue. COVID Donny and his "trophy" wife, snuck out in disgrace.

[@cherylb2008]

So funny

[@CommissionerJen]

Jan Hooks was always good. Every sketch. I'm genuinely sad she's gone.

[@ridikipicklepeckinpuff583]

Looking forward to something very similar to this playing out 1/20/21 😁

[@EricDurrant-k5z]

Well, turns out it played out just a little differently.

[@jerrygottlick4614]

Right, the immigrant former first lady couldn't wait to get the hell out of there. But she is bought and paid for so she'll probably have to come back occasionally if needed.

[@maryettamoody5079]

Dam good

[@marywatkins6798]

Phil Hartman could do anything! Jan Hooks was great!

[@pyronmasters]

PLEASE do a version with Melania actually running out of the white house while Jill Biden loving every moment.

[@Albertanator]

Don't you mean 'Dr' Biden???

[@AyeWitness]

​@@Albertanator Dr lol 😂 what's she a dr of. Doctoring her husband 😂 she's an abuser and handler of Pedo Joe

[@TrueWalker88]

Comparing Barbara Bush at 64 to Michelle Obama at 59 is shocking. These old gals were so much older than their years back then. It wasn't just Barbara's white hair, in 1989, she had the wrinkles of a woman 20 years her senior. So proud of Michelle Obama for staying fit and healthy, living well and having such a great attitude!

[@LegoPostPresidency]

Watching this on Nancy's 100th Birthday Happy Birthday Nancy

[@RoderBrent]

She's burning in h*ll with Ronnie.

[@derp8575]

If only the fans knew how close this was to reality. For some reason all Presidents are expected to marry men.

Imagine if They Did this with Melania Trump and Jill Biden?

[@jgilc2691]

Priceless humor! No longer exists today.

[@johnbellocchio66]

Nancy Reagan could always cause an instant gag reflex. And I liked her husband. She was the modern day Mary Todd...

[@EricDurrant-k5z]

She's the only First Lady (at least of record) who kept the clothes and jewelry that she was loaned by designers. And Barbara, by contrast, was one of the few who refused to accept the loans in the first place.

Trump wasn’t as subtle in 2021 when he started an insurrection.

Cool. When he's going to be charged for it? Because it wasn't an insurrection. That's what you people do when you don't get your way.

Sadly like the Trumps now.

This was more like Hillary Clinton when she had to leave except she actually took some things with her. I imagine that she was pretty pissed when they made her give all the stuff she stole back. 😆

[@marcusmelancon3426]

Please I highly doubt she was that upset the White House ruined her marriage and she was tired of being the political trophy wife plus she was headed to the senate

Poor Barbara Bush was constantly tortured because of her looks.

[@Kat-gx3se]

Somehow I don't think she cared. She was known for having a thick skin. Remember when she was wearing mismatched shoes? When she was made aware her response was, "I have another pair just like them at home". Gotta love it.
