An absolute comedic segment of Billy Crystal and pure ad lib genius--it really doesnt get better than this

[@DeviantMotives]

I loved his character. I always use that line. It’s better to look good than to feel good

[@charlesoliva8174]

This is such a great clip! My family and Barbara’s were neighbors in Jackson Heights, Queens in the late ‘40s. They were a wonderful family. Her father, Howie, was a NYC Police Officer.

[@CUStudioFilms]

Interesting. I always thought she was from England.

[@valentinr.dominguez2892]

What part of Jackson Heights?

[@charlesoliva8174]

@@valentinr.dominguez2892 Not sure of the address (I wasn’t born yet) - but it was a community of army barracks erected for returning GI’s from WWII - Barbara’s Dad and mine were both vets.

[@JohnCritch-tf4mb]

Still hilarious 40 years later

[@Phi1618033]

I still use that line of "It's better to look good than to feel good". And, yes, I know that's an insane thing to say and think, but it's funny as hell.

[@Dr3amtime]

Could tell he'd done his background research. "That Beatle thing really took off!"

[@AnnetteMay1221]

I remember Billy on an HBO special joking about his daughter asking him if Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings. Classic. Ringo Forever!

[@Brokensaint91]

I would like to know more about that

[@peterbadore1338]

He also said that on the first show of this (1984-85) season. He did the monologue.

[@PittsburghMarky]

Barbara Bach, Billy Crystal, and Ringo Starr is quite the trifecta of talent.

[@OldRaver]

Was made SIR Ringo this month! About bloody time! Love him and Barbara xx

[@showyourtruth]

"Let me tell you, my kids still play the Dr. Pepper album." Hahah!

[@colleen3107]

I was a teenager when Dr. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band came out, but I knew that wasn’t correct. I had to look it up and remembered SGT Pepper. Aging

[@lizzyfan1986]

Lol

[@bafflezbiz]

I must have been but a wee lad of 4 years or so, but I remember being absolutely mesmerized by that movie and watching it many times over. Something about it spoke to me on a deep level and l can still remember the way I connected with the concepts, as though there were events I remembered from an even earlier time... Could it have been prior to my birth? Perhaps a past life, or another plane of existence? Or maybe just a dream. So bizarre! Things that make you go hmmm.... 🤔

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

I lived through the entire span of SNL, starting when I was in high school, and really, for me, the mid-80s were actually their best shows. Great stuff!

[@charlesgallagher1376]

I was 18 in 1975, so I’ve seen SNL since the first episode and this was probably the cast that saved the show after the Not Ready for Prime Time cast moved on.

[@mrc6182]

The Father Guido Sarducci years - the second and last SNL "golden age."

[@ianarchibald1423]

"Sting and Hal Linden..." (That's what stayed with me after 36 years...)

[@shevetlevi2821]

Billy Crystal is one of my favorites; comedic timing like no one else. 1:41

[@waynej2608]

Ringo and Barbara, still together and still 'look mahvelous'! Billy, too.

[@The_momur]

I was just thinking , thank goodness they’re all still with us.

[@carolnahigian9518]

amen& Ditto

[@jimringomartin]

this SNL era has always been our favorite. And Ringo (and Barbara) do look Mah-vel-ous

[@scottburton9701]

From season 10 of "SNL"-Classic sketch!

[@ronleon62]

40 years later and they have stayed married.

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

A marvelous interview simply marvelous.

[@WillTplaces]

"Dahling it's always better to look good than to feel good" became my motto after first time hearing it from Billy Crystal. I'm a 68-yr-old hippie desperately trying to stay hip, even though I am feeling my age with arthritis and other physical deficits. But dammit,....I DO look mahvelous! Billy Crysyal is so talented....and still looks mahvelous!

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Billy Crystal was so great on SNL 💜

[@anthonysciacca5986]

Billy Crystal is the best! His imitations of other stars are spot on! He does Ali to a tee…..even Ali said he can do him better than he can! Lol!

[@classiclife7204]

For reasons I can't fathom, I suddenly remembered this character and the "marvelous" bit. This was one of the big things of the 1980s. 30, 40 years later, and I can't tell you why.

[@charlesgallagher1376]

I saw the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson the night Fernando Lamas was on and said to Johnny, “ You know I don’t feel so good, but I look Mavahlus.” One of the funniest things I’ve seen, but Fernando had cancer, Billy Crystal turned it into a skit character.

[@classiclife7204]

@@charlesgallagher1376 Wow, that's rather amazing. RIP to Mr. Lamas, and I'm sure he looked pretty mahvelous. :)

[@charlesgallagher1376]

@@classiclife7204 it was weird seeing Billy Crystal doing Fernando just weeks after the real Fernando.

[@J.Strantz]

I remember this! My dad was still doing the "mahvelous" thing in the 90s. 😂 Wow! I never knew what it was from, I only know fernando lamas because of lucille ball, but now I see the whole story here.

[@sdeal709]

I looked for a meme with this guy. Couldn't find one. You look marvelous!😂

[@jonathanswift2251]

I wish Billy Crystal as Fernando Lamas was a villain on the 60's Batman.

[@johnroberts1734]

Pure genius

[@glitterdrip19]

dr pepper 😂🤣😂

[@allys744]

Ringo’s reaction at 4:42 🤣✋

[@kaydensrailway5594]

If I were to interview Barbara and Ringo, 99% of my time would be focused on Ringo!

[@charlesoliva8174]

Cracks me up when Fernando says to Barbara - “if you were Jewish.” She is Jewish (at least on her father’s side).

[@robertrust9223]

They're all jewish. Definition of jewish: you're on the tv show or in the movie. These folks are the celestial night sky-worshipping clan, after all. The celestial angles sing and sky-globe trump... ets. Humanity is the pup.. pet on a string strung along by them.

[@MichaelAChang]

My kids still listen to that Dr. Pepper album! LOL

[@deltahomicide9300]

Every woman I've said 'You look MAH velous!' to always smiles. Thanks Billy C

[@waynej2608]

I like the White Claw album.

[@rileygalvin2]

Crazy how this was improvised

[@jojopuppyfish]

These were always good. These were always improvised. The best one was with Mr T and Hulk Hogan

[@vickielawson3114]

Fernando joked that Ringo resembles Yassir Arafat.

Billy Crystal was my favorite, excellent timing as just a nut🤣

[@jethro1963]

I never really watched this at the time but Billy is very, very good with this character.

[@captnpeacemaker]

I have to admit: At first look i thought Jon Lovitz would play a perfect Ringo-Imitation ...

Holly shit!!! Is this Billy Crystal???!! I was so into Ringo that I almost didn't recognize Billy till the very end, but that voice was kind of sending me signals throughout the video 🤣😂

[@SidechainStudios]

FINALLY someone other than me makes the ‘Yasser Arafat’ connection, ive been claiming they resemble each other for years now!!!!

[@ericoberlies7537]

Jane Curtin did it on Weekend Update back in the ‘70s.

[@PomegranatesWeather]

I remember being up every Saturday night waiting for Eddie Murphy skit and I loved this Billy Crystal 🔮 character

[@waynej2608]

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood, 'I'm Gumby, dammit!', James Brown etc. Murphy and Crystal were the bright spots in those days. Imho. Oh, and Julia Louie-Dreyfuss.

[@tallerseaniemac]

ringo gave billy a kick under the table to tell him that he was uncomfortable

[@jondunmore4268]

Billy's good on the improv - but Martin Short beats him hands down with Jiminy Glick. Billy almost talked himself into a corner with the VCR non-gags, and I'm surprised that Ringo (the Goofy One) couldn't help him out more.

[@alexandertriozzi5121]

VCR - 3 letters never used. Today-
