Honestly, it might be the best comedy skit ever put on TV. I can't think of very many that even compare.

[@joshhicks80]

Yeah the Rick James skit was the funniest skit ever!!!

[@ArtLeal-mr1tn]

No matter how many times I watch this, it always makes me laugh 😂

[@dreesdog7]

Charlie is not lying, I did security for Rick James when he came to Cleveland Mirage a couple months before he died in 2004. When he got out of the limo, I promise I was standing there it looked like a spot light was on him, he had this ora or something, I have never been star struck about anyone. I felt crazy. I am 6'1 250. I had never felt like I was in the presence of royalty or something, looking back it was hilarious. He was a real down to earth cool older cat. R.I.P. Mr. James
