[@Jojo-bk2pq]

Dana Carvey has barely aged at all. I swear, he looks the same here as he did as Church Lady in the 80s/90s.

[@frglovr]

that's what I was thinking. what's that man eat?

[@genevitale2626]

+Jojo717 I thought I was looking at an old shot at first.

[@Jojo-bk2pq]

+Gene Vitale I know right.

[@fullyshimmer]

The media & govt r so corrupt KZbin put up this vid at the top of the feed. Also the media is trying to make Obama look good after the military tried to kick a hero out the military. A soldier beat up a Afgahn police for tying a boy to a pole & raping him for 2 weeks! Obamas policy was don't get involved with the locals issues, where as the soldier explained allowing this rape to happen as a bad the talaban & the USA was losing support from the locals. Obama didn't stand up for this hero soldier who saved the boy, the military tried to kick the soldier (Charles Martland) out the military cuz they didn't want to offend the rapist police. The media has been trying to make Obama look good since this. If the corrupt media says anything bad about someone that person is probably a good person. For example, Ted Cruz is amazing he wants to get rid of the IRS. He's a real hero that's y the media don't give him exposure or says the worst things on the ones who'll call out corruption.

You know something's up when even the church lady thinks you're preachy!!!

"You're the first guy who got possessed and looks better" im dead😂

[@jamellfoster6029]

And is smarter because Ted Cruz & Trump are dummies...

[@iononcantomascrivo]

[@leosmithonbass]

They used the original intro with Phil Hartman's voice. Miss that guy. Gone too soon.

[@sweetie9870]

They did the same for the 40th anniversary for waynes world.

[@jamellfoster6029]

[@katjaamyx2922]

It's barely satire!

[@Chlo255]

"Was it God's plan for you to get humiliated by an orange mannequin?" BEST LINE

[@runner4life1984]

"Well isn't that's Special!!"--- such a memorable quote. 👍😃

*sigh*

[@jeanabecker7443]

hey SNL is a reflection of society

[@megabattlezero5351]

+Jeana Becker Yeah it tells you that society is corrupt.

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

+Daniel Porter Classic dana Carvey. I always liked church lady and Garth some of his best charachters.

[@itsgabrielarey]

Is that Dolores unbridge?

[@whatho85]

It looks like the audience is too young to know what Church Chat is.

[@anthonyd.8734]

I agree, they never got the part when he used his signature line,"Isn't that special?" It went over the heads!

[@Collageartist69]

A little preachy.

[@missg.5940]

I loved this character the first time around...have watched SNL faithfully since the first show....sigh....l am old!😳🇨🇦😷

[@xlander-jp1rd]

Sad so many merican s don’t care for sarcasm.

This is premium. One of SNL's best bits ever. Church Lady rocks.

"No one ever killed harder than Dana on that show." -- Norm Macdonald

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

man, love Dana Carvey. I could watch him do anything, including chop broccoli.

[@steveinguanta3841]

Ha! "She brought it hoooooooome."

[@jennifercramer2156]

Would you watch the girl from "The Ring" chop broccoli? Because I look like the girl from "The Ring." And I really like broccoli.

[@adamdouglas1729]

She chopa, she chopa, she chopa

[@WarSwan]

Lol watch Master Of Disguise then see if you can still say that

[@WaterworksStudio]

Would you like to watch him walk around in a turtle suit while repeatedly saying "turtle"?

[@tommasofaoro3278]

I do believe that Lorne keeps all those brilliant castmembers from the 80s/90s in a warehouse with props and cameras

[@LifeofMarie267]

It's freshly squeezed like Jay-Z's naughty parts. FUNNY!

[@sotrue5413]

Marie B ik right, I'm surprised the audience didn't appreciate it more

[@rysmith9433]

[@satanic4207]

Well isnt that special

[@jayboi7565]

Can y’all explain why that’s funny? I’m from the future and I don’t feel like time traveling the past

[@joannilson2900]

How great to have the Church Lady back!!! I loved the line that as soon as Trump fired Gary Bussey on Celebrity Apprentice for not selling enough pancakes, that Church Lady said "I thought right then and there: GIve that man the nuclear codes!" Too funny!!

[@piikeaSanDiego]

+Joan Nilson - SNL doesn't hit the nail on the head much any more but whoever wrote this part is brilliant!

[@gimmethepinkelephant3685]

You kids today are too easily impressed. Dana Carvey used to be much better at doing this then he showed right here. This is weak by comparison.

[@gutz1981]

Phil Hartman and his amazing voice. The man is never forgotten.

[@Allen-eq5uf]

Too bad His wife wouldn't let him be happy...... Or alive.

[@SecondEvilEx]

[@terryazamber1021]

I could watch this a thousand times and never get tired of it. It is hilarious. Thank you, God, that Church Lady is back.

[@CLUB-th7pp]

Dana Carvey always been funny. But this Era of snl just wasn’t up to par.

[@UnboxingJon]

Phil Hartman in the beginning just about made me weep.

[@mandolinorchid]

Me too. I'm not over it. :(

[@SteveShaha]

Dana Carvey was born to be on SNL.

[@klof361]

I bet at least 40% of the people watching this had no idea who this character was☺️

[@ratasmr4891]

"You're such a jerk Donald! I'm going back to hell! They're nicer there!" I died laughing

[@LiberalViewer]

Great to see Dana Carvey's Church Lady back! Thanks for the video :-)

[@Cinder1987]

Dana Carvey looked and acted exactly the same now as he did when church lady was on in the 90's. He did a great job.

[@Cinder1987]

It's funny because when he started Dana played that old church lady character and now, well, he is old or older, but looks the same as he did then when he was actually young playing her.

[@gimmethepinkelephant3685]

Nah, he used to be better at it back in the day. He seemed a bit stale here.

[@Dreamfyre_]

"Waaas it? Was it Gods plan for you to get humiliated by an orange mannequin?" I'M DEAD.😂

[@KnickKnack07]

A little sad to hear Phil Hartman doing the intro.

[@michaeljohnson5720]

RIP

[@SFK360]

I wouldn't have even noticed. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

thebigdr....The weirdest thing is Hartman's kids sued the drug Zoloft claiming the antidepressant made the wife kill Phil and herself.. Maybe that is why OJ Simpson killed his exwife?

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

duckymagic57...LOL.. I didn't realize that "duckymagic57" was one word.. SNL actually did profit from Phil Hartman's voice over meaning they benefitted from it.. It took old people back to the time when Phil Hartman did Jim Bakker and Jim Bakker did Jessica Hawn

[@maxwellsmart2000]
