Church Chat Cold Opening - Saturday Night Live

[@natalieholt8477]

The head jerks are everything. Fred Savage did an amazing job with this

[@windwhipped5]

U can tell Carvey is just enjoying Fred's impression. He keeps lookin at him like " who the hell is this kid he tryin to steal my show.."!!

[@martinez-shaffer]

Exactly!! "Hey, kid , quit stealing my moves!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@liberty0194]

SNL should do a new skit with Church lady and Fred Savage now as a grown up niece. I’d love to see them together again.

[@hap_pax]

Yes please!

[@brettf2779]

Well that won't be happening anytime soon now.

[@NewhamMatt]

Oh my goodness! Savage absolutely OWNS this part! It's genuinely just like watching a little Dana Carvey! And it comes across so naturally!

That is Randy Savage?! I did not know he could act. Well done, OH YEAH!

Love Fred Savage!

[@BlueMHart]

This is easily my favorite Church Chat, solely because Fred Savage's impression was so spot-on.

[@DavidWilliams-so2dy]

Hartman nailed the 90s Trump in voice and appearance.

[@markpitts884]

Hartman nailed everything.

He was fantastic here. He was “into it” the exact right amount.

[@glitterspray]

Absolutely spot on! This has to be my favorite episode. With Tammy Faye #2. Jan Hooks rocked in everything she did.

[@Sean-mclaughlin]

Fred Savage should have won an Emmy for this.

[@ez8546]

Agreed!

[@heatherk5199]

Fred is amazing in this! He and Dana play off each other so well.

[@jocelynhansen37]

Fred Savage was (and is) such a talented actor.

We still have the entire church lady family today. Fred Savage Dana Carvey and John Goodman. We need to get the three of them together one last time

ABSOLUTELY!!!!💯 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@kentcruse4969]

This one skit really showcased Fred's talent. Especially at such a young age.

[@fr3dr02]

Fred nailed the church lady facial movements 😂😂

[@Myamirah]

Wow I’ve never seen this before. Fred really did a great job ! You can tell he really put a lot of work into studying the churchlady’s mannerisms.

Frighteningly prescient!

[@cconnon1912]

@@OldRaver truthful, more now than ever for trump. He has like 95 charges, a half dozen trials going on. Paid 85 million to a lady he said wasn’t his type after she said he raped her, but confused her for Marla in a photo. 😅 Owes 465 million but it was reduced to 175 until appeal. Basically they took pity on him because he doesn’t have as much money as he says he does. Now even his lawyers are going to jail. That’s really bad. 😅

[@garyc39]

Thats a good one,how true.

[@pezfam]

Isn’t it amazing how little someone can change for the better over the span of 30 years?

[@donaldstanfield8862]

👊🏼

[@randyhenderson6166]

Yeah, Fred is still the same great actor he was as kid. Trump, however, went from a billionnaire business man to the best POTUS we've had since Reagan. And he will be back in the WH in 2024 to save us from these lunatics in the Demo-rat Party.

[@OldRaver]

That was a bit surreal! Totally synched! Fred NAILED it!

[@manbtm1]

Marla Maples imitation is spot on, and oh what the future held after those comments. So true

I don't know how he kept a straight face with that mini-me stealing the act.

I watched SNL loyally from the premiere on thru the 1980s. I didn't watch it much after 1990, but did watch this ep. Trump and Ivana were in tabloids alot during the 1980s, when they called him 'the Donald'. I always liked Wonder Years, too.
