Frank Sinatra didn't take offense at all and praised him and Eddie Murphy for the skit and commented he has never laughed hard like that in years. He was right! It was very funny!

Joe Piscopo was a versatile impressionist who could be amusing when utilizing that talent. Eddie Murphy was the best young comedian around throughout that period.

The measure of success in musical parody is not disdain, but reverence. The more knowledge, insight and love someone has of a music genre, the better the skit tends to be. People who have nothing but passing knowledge of a type of music (pick one/any: punk, classical, jazz, rap, hip hop, heavy metal, Great American Songbook, musicals....) always comedically fall flat. The brilliance of this skit lies in how thoroughly Murphy and Piscopo inhabit their characters - these guys both have more than a passing knowledge of the repertoire and style of each singer. Even more impressive, is the nod to Sammy Cahn ("a mahvelous, marvellous songwriter, no offence Stevie....") and they nailed the Tin Pan Alley song title, and the stride-piano jazz style Cahn would have done in a mash up with Stevie Wonder. This is brilliant on so many levels.

He did return for the 40th anniversary special but he’s vowed to never return after David Spade insulted his career on Weekend Update when he called him “a falling star”.

First time seeing this one and it’s HILARIOUS 😂 Eddie nails Stevie and Piscopo did a nice Sinatra too… but the writing is what really shines here. Those lyrics and the setup was genius 😂😂😂

A marvelous classic of SNL. Too funny! Excellent performances by both actors 😊👍
@Robster-19704 жыл бұрын
I have always loved this skit. I can't believe that this only has half a million views. Eddie's Stevie Wonder impression was on point and Piscopo had a great, reverential Sinatra impression. I have no idea why they don't perform together anymore but I miss their chemistry.

I haven’t seen this in over 12 years and I randomly woke up and had this song in my head! I had the entire SNL vintage on VCR and lost my absolute mind watching these and they’re still as funny as ever haha

I actually remember this in real time. One of the first sketches I remember remembering as a kid. I used to go around singing "You are blind as a bat and I have sight". I knew that was clever even as a kid. Lol.

Joe Piscopo was always a scream as "The Chairman of the Board." This would never pass today, which makes it even more hysterical! Thanks for sharing.
