Church Chat Cold Opening - Saturday Night Live

[@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!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@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!

[@kevinvilmont6061]

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

[@NewhamMatt]

@@kevinvilmont6061 That's Fred Savage from The Wonder Years.

So sad that Phil Hartman is a better Donald Trump than the real Donald Trump

[@lindentr3374]

The kid is brilliant!!! I had to look him up, (Its the kid from "the wonder years" tv show, now 38 years old).

[@kari7403]

His little brother, Ben Savage, is from Boy Meets World, too.

[@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.

Fred was amazing! Somehow, I never saw this back in the day!

Cute Fred Savage killing it !

This is a super special treat❣ Phil Hartman with Fred Savage and Dana Carvey❣🥳❣

Fred Savage really is an amazing actor

[@wardone8991]

I have a new admiration for Fred Savage as an actor.

if they had only known he would one day be president...

I've seen all your movies

[@conorsmith8551]

President evil haha

[@mojo500100]

How did I miss this skit for all these years?? Savage and Carvey are a killer team. Of course, they had plum targets...

[@Spankydoodle]

Phil’s Trump impression is really good.

[@kindjeklein45]

A trump pump.......how relevant in 2018 😂🤣

[@Armandrea]

This is just as relevant for today. I wish Phil Hartman was still here. I would have loved to seen his impersonation of Trump.

[@OldRaver]

Just realised Gwyneth Paltrow may have got her idea for ‘steaming her clam’ from this sketch!!!

[@poojamandal2525]

Fred Savage! 💕

[@samuelrobertson1567]

My stomach hurts from laughing!!!

[@kurtsigmon6640]

Fred Savage was wonderful in this skit, but watching these clips always makes me miss the incredible talents of Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman. Of course, much credit should be given to Dana Carvey, one of the true KINGS of SNL.

[@robertroyal6478]

I noticed Jan Hooks using her native GA accent and wondered why. Turns out Marla is a GA girl too. I did not know that. I can't recall hearing Marla's accent, though. All I remember about Marla was a pervert stealing her shoes.

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

OMG. That kid is great.

[@davewitter6565]

Is anyone watching this in 2021?

Phil’s Trump impression best I’ve seen!

[@felipeballadares8205]

awesome hahaha

[@jeffrey4063]

Oh wow! This is one of the funniest church chats I have ever seen and I didn't even know it existed. I have all the other ones backed up on VHS tapes. No need to now thanks to KZbin. This was really really funny! Too bad SNL is no longer the same as it was. But all things must pass.

[@Chris_Troxler]

Wow... Phil's Trump is spot on.😳

It's almost like Trump was always a creep, or something.

[@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.

[@BlueMHart]

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

[@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 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. 😅
